Marvel fans are assembling their dream Spider-Man movies

December 2024 · 4 minute read

Spider-Man: No Way Home completely tore up the status quo for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, thereby wiping the slate clean for Spider-Man 4, which could act as the start of a new trilogy. It’s anyone’s guess what the friendly neighborhood hero will face next, then, with Holland’s webhead likely to encounter a new roster of supporting characters and villains.

Unsurprisingly, fans have various ideas about where they’d like to see the franchise go from here — and they’ve been making their pitches for the next Spidey film on social media. Fandom got the ball rolling on Twitter by asking folks to build their dream Spider-Man movie, encouraging them to name a title, which Spider-Man it would star, which love interest, which villain, and who would direct it.

The responses came in thick and fast, with a few similar ideas featuring in many of the pitches. Felicia Hardy proved to be a popular choice for Peter’s new girlfriend, while Mister Negative, most known from the Spider-Man PS4 game, received a lot of votes for his next nemesis. Meanwhile, people really want to see Edgar Wright, who almost directed Ant-Man, behind the camera.

A Zack Snyder-directed Spider-Man Noir adaptation would be wild.

Title: Spider-Man Noir

Love Interest: MJ

Villain: Crime Master/Vulture/Hammerhead

No Time To Die‘s Cary Fukunaga is another interesting pick for director.

Title: The Spectacular Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Tom Holland

Love Interest: None. Gwen Stacy (Kiernan Shipka) is introduced but not a love interest yet. Gives Tom’s Spidey time to breathe without a relationship, after just losing MJ.

Villain: Kingpin

How about doing an actual Spider-Man 4 with Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi?

Spider-Man: Last Hunt
Love Interest: Mary Jane
Villain: Kraven
Director: Sam Raimi

Similarly, others want to see a Spider-Girl movie about Mayday Parker.

Title: "Spider-Girl"
Spider-Man: Kaitlyn Dever as Spider-Girl/Mayday Parker (Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker)
Love Interest: Wes Westin
Villain: Hobgoblin and Black Tarantula
Director: Kelly Fremon Craig pic.twitter.com/iYsfwh68ya

OK, now that’s a clever idea.

What about a Peter/Miles Morales team-up flick?

Villains are Prowler/Kingpin and Bullseye

Of course, there were also a lot of calls for Andrew Garfield to get an Amazing Spider-Man 3.

None, Gwen is dead

Honestly, it’d be really cool to watch Andrew Garfield fight Venom and Michael Keaton’s Vulture now that they’re all in the same universe. And then Venom and Spider-Man could team up at the end of the movie to stop Vulture. https://t.co/HjocJc9AgO

Some of these concepts don’t feel so far-fetched, as Black Cat will no doubt end up in the MCU eventually and a showdown with Kingpin is feasible given Vincent D’Onofrio’s return in Hawkeye. Marvel and Sony have definitely got their work cut out for them in having to one-up No Way Home with Spider-Man 4, so maybe they should look to what the fans want for inspiration.
