Spider-Man 4’s Can Fix A 9 Year Villain Problem On 1 Major Condition
Summary
It's precisely because of Spider-Man's larger-than-life adventures so far that Spider-Man: No Way Home's ending seems to change Peter Parker's story so drastically. After losing everything in his personal life, Peter has returned to his street-level origins and may likely have to focus on smaller threats as a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. However, Spider-Man 4's release date may fall close to Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which suggests that its plot could disregard Spider-Man: No Way Home's grounded set-up and instead be based around a multiversal premise.
If Spider-Man 4 Is Multiversal, Holland’s Spider-Man Can Finally Meet Sony’s Spider-Man Universe Characters Spider-Man 4 Is Tom Holland's Best Chance To Meet Sony's Movie Villains Close While Spider-Man: No Way Home's ending set up a grounded sequel, the likelihood of Spider-Man 4's plot being multiverse-themed is quite high. There are two untitled movie slots in the MCU's Multiverse Saga schedule after Avengers: Secret Wars, and a Sony-Marvel collaboration could arrive before that. Expectations are rising for Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, and a multiversal story supports the possibility of seeing Tom Holland's Spider-Man reunite with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men. Likewise, a multiversal Spider-Man 4 in Phase 6 is the perfect chance to have Holland's Spider-Man meet the villains introduced in Sony's Spider-Man Universe.
Spider-Man 4 could follow Tom Holland's Spider-Man as he fights villains such as Venom, Morbius, Kraven the Hunter, and Rhino.
Spider-Man 4 could benefit from the events of Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, which might allow characters from all over the multiverse to travel freely between universes, or perhaps create a live-action version of Marvel Comics' Battleworld, where various universes converge. Hence, Spider-Man 4 could follow Tom Holland's Spider-Man as he fights villains such as Venom, Morbius, Kraven the Hunter, and Rhino. In this case, Spider-Man 4 could answer why Vulture was sent to Sony's Spider-Man Universe, which allegedly "has something to do with Spider-Man".
A Sony And MCU Spider-Man Crossover Problem Could Only Get Worse After Secret Wars Spider-Man 4 Might Be The Last Chance For The MCU To Cross Over With Sony's Spider-Man Universe![]()
Sony will have released six installments of its Marvel movie franchise by the time Spider-Man 4 hits theaters, yet none of these movies include any version of Spider-Man. The ideal scenario, of course, would be to have the characters introduced in Sony's Spider-Man Universe face Tom Holland's Spider-Man. The most logical way to get Holland's Spider-Man and Sony's Spider-Man villains in a movie together would be through a multiversal event, and Spider-Man 4 could provide just that. But if Spider-Man 4 doesn't involve Sony's characters, then it might become extremely difficult to justify such a crossover afterward.

2 The MCU may not focus on the multiverse forever, and Sony's Spider-Man characters may eventually be phased out. For instance, Venom: The Last Dance has been described as the end of the journey for Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock. Meanwhile, Morbius and Madame Web were poorly received by fans and critics, and their return isn't guaranteed. Even if Venom, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter don't get direct sequels in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, at least one crossover appearance with Tom Holland's Spider-Man would serve as closure to their story.
The MCU’s Multiverse Saga Proves No Marvel Character Is Without Redemption The MCU Has Proved That Any Character Can Be Well Received If Handled Properly Close Several live-action Marvel characters failed to make an impact outside the MCU, and their chances of returning seemed to be zero for a long time. Yet, characters like Anson Mount's Black Bolt, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, Chris Evans' Human Torch, and Channing Tatum's Gambit (who didn't even appear on-screen before Deadpool & Wolverine) got a second chance in the MCU, and their surprising appearances were highlights of their respective MCU movies. Just like Jamie Foxx's Electro and Rhys Ifans' Lizard shined in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Jared Leto's Morbius, Aaron Taylor Johnson's Kraven, and other Sony characters can shine in Spider-Man 4.
Kraven was originally considered for Spider-Man: No Way Home, but Sony's plans for the character prevented him from being introduced in the MCU.
The absence of a crossover between the MCU's Spider-Man and Sony's Spider-Man Universe characters isn't only detrimental to Sony's characters. Tom Holland's Spider-Man is running out of famous enemies to fight in the MCU. Venom, Carnage, Morbius, Kraven, and Rhino are all famous members of Spider-Man's rogue gallery, but Holland's Spider-Man wouldn't ever be able to meet them if a crossover doesn't happen. At least one battle between them in Spider-Man 4 would solve this problem for the MCU and Sony's Spider-Man Universe, allowing both franchises to move afterward.

- If Spider-Man 4's plot is multiversal instead of street-level, then the characters from Sony's Spider-Man Universe could have a chance to finally cross over with Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
- Spider-Man 4 could be Sony's last chance to materialize this crossover, as the multiverse may no longer be an easy justification after the Multiverse Saga ends.
- Although most of Sony's Spider-Man villains haven't been well received, they could have a chance to be redeemed in the MCU, similar to how characters like Anson Mount's Black Bolt, Jennifer Garner's Elektra, and Jamie Foxx's Electro got a second chance when they made their MCU appearances.
