During a recent interview on the Rich Roll Podcast, Holland revealed that he read a draft of the script for his fourth Spider-Man film and said, “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job.”
“One of the things is that with Marvel, your movie is a small cog in a big machine,” Holland said of developing Spider-Man 4. “This machine has to keep running. You have to make sure you can fit into that schedule at the right time to take advantage of the bigger picture. That’s one of the challenges we face. The time we need to get this done is a long-term thing but it can certainly be done.” With the people we’re working on now, it’s not yet clear if Zendaya will return to her role as MJ.
Holland played Peter Parker in three independent films directed by Jon Watts: “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019), and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2019). ). 2021).

The relationship between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment has been rocky at times. There was a brief period in late 2019 where the two entities reached an impasse over the character’s future in the MCU, and their agreement was temporarily cancelled. They figured it out soon after, followed by the breakout “No Way Home” spinoff that brought former Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield into the MCU.
