Although Spider-Man 4 is far from release, recent leaks may have unveiled key details about the upcoming movie.
Spider-Man 4 may finally be gearing up for its long-awaited production, if recent leaks are to be believed. With so much to look forward to, these rumors are only heightening fans' excitement.
During a recent Discord Q&A session, Alex Perez shared several leaks related to an upcoming Marvel Studios project, with Spider-Man 4 being a major focus of the discussion. The leaker unveiled key plot points, including potential returning cast members and characters, story changes, where the movie fits into the current MCU timeline, and even a rough premiere window.
At this stage, Spider-Man 4 has yet to enter its filming or even production phase, as the project has been grappling with challenges in assembling the right team before kicking off. Despite earlier reports suggesting that a complete script is still in the works, Perez claims that filming is expected to start later this year. He also indicated that the movie is currently aiming for a July 2026 release. However, this date is highly speculative and could easily shift, especially considering the extensive time and financial investment Marvel is putting into the movie. It is speculated that Spider-Man 4 might be strategically released between two highly anticipated Avengers movies: the newly announced Avengers: Doomsday, set for May 1, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars, slated for May 7, 2027. The proximity of Spider-Man’s release to these major Avengers movies - one of which is only two months apart - could play a significant role in the overarching narrative and the web-slinger’s connection to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The source revealed that there has been yet another shift in the story, though specifics were not provided. Recently, rumors surfaced that Kingpin might play a role in Spider-Man 4, but the leaker suggests this storyline could be held back until after Secret Wars. Additionally, some Marvel fans are speculating that the MCU might soon introduce its versions of both Norman Osborn and Otto Octavius, and the leaker agrees that this could be on the horizon. As for the returning cast, aside from the obvious inclusion of MJ, it is speculated that Ned could also return in the movie. Following the emotional events of No Way Home, it will be intriguing to see how these two characters are reintroduced in the next installment. While no other supporting cast members have been confirmed, there has been speculation that Marvel might replace J. K. Simmons in his iconic role as J. Jonah Jameson. However, the leaker believes that Simmons will likely continue in the role.
Finally, Perez addressed the ongoing issue Spider-Man 4 is currently facing - finding a director. Multiple big names have been rumored to be attached to the project, but none have been confirmed or denied, and Marvel has yet to officially announce their choice for the director's chair. According to the leak, Perez heard a rumor from his sources that the movie might be helmed by "a pair of directors" that Marvel is currently considering. While no specific names were mentioned, the possibility is certainly intriguing. Previously, directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah were floated as potential candidates, and even the Russo Brothers were rumored to be linked to the project at one point. However, no further details have emerged. Could one of these duos be the next to take on Spider-Man 4?
