Four Big ‘Spider-Man 4’ Rumors Indicate New Characters and Less Screen Time for One Major One
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is creating a lot of buzz, but some recent rumors hint that not everything is smooth sailing for the upcoming Marvel movie. A few new details have surfaced that are stirring up concern, especially regarding Zendaya’s role as MJ.
After the success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it’s no surprise that a fourth Spider-Man film was greenlit. That movie brought together three generations of Spider-Men, making it one of the biggest box office hits ever.
Fans have been waiting eagerly for more, and while details are still scarce, some new rumors about Spider-Man 4 have surfaced. According to industry insider Jeff Sneider, there are some exciting elements on the horizon.
First, symbiotes will make an appearance, which likely ties into the storyline of Venom, especially after we saw a piece of the symbiote left behind in No Way Home’s post-credits scene. This could mean a crossover with Tom Hardy’s Venom, though Sneider didn’t specify if this will connect to the version of the character from the SSU universe.

Another key detail is that Charlie Cox will return as Daredevil. His cameo in No Way Home sparked interest, and his full return in Spider-Man 4 would be a great way to bring together Marvel’s movie and TV universes. Fans have been hoping to see Daredevil team up with Spider-Man for some time, so this is a welcome development.
Sacha Baron Cohen is also reportedly joining the cast as Mephisto, a demonic villain. Rumors of his casting have been around for a while, and it looks like Spider-Man 4 could finally bring this character into the MCU.
Some insiders believe that Mephisto might be the primary antagonist of the movie, adding a supernatural layer to the story.
However, there’s one rumor that is causing some disappointment. It’s being said that Zendaya’s role as MJ will be “severely reduced” in Spider-Man 4.

While this could be due to her packed schedule with projects like Euphoria Season 3, Dune 3, and a film by Christopher Nolan, it’s still tough news for fans who were hoping for more of her character alongside Peter Parker.
Given Zendaya’s busy career, it’s understandable that she might not have as much time for the movie. Still, it’s a bit of a blow for those who were looking forward to seeing more of the MJ-Peter dynamic.
Another concern is the possibility of delays. Holland has reportedly been booked for a role in a Christopher Nolan film, which could push back Spider-Man 4’s production. There have been whispers about potential delays for the movie already, which is frustrating for fans hoping for a quick release.
As of now, all these details are just rumors, so nothing has been confirmed by Marvel yet. It’s important to take them with a grain of salt until we hear more official announcements. Still, the mix of good news and concerns surrounding Spider-Man 4 is definitely keeping us on edge as we await more details, but we are certain that more will arrive very soon.
