As a die-hard fan of all things Spider-Man, I can hardly contain my excitement about the upcoming fourth installment in Tom Holland’s Marvel journey! Amy Pascal’s comments hint that this film will draw inspiration from the iconic “Spider-Man 24/7” storyline, which promises an intense, action-packed adventure for our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler.
In the aftermath of Tom Holland confirming that filming for Spider-Man 4 will commence in summer 2025, with a release date set for July 2026, producer Amy Pascal has unveiled some initial plot details from Sony and Marvel Studios’ forthcoming Spider-Man movie. The fourth installment of Jon Watts’ trilogy concluded with Peter Parker (Tom Holland) pleading with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to cast a spell that would cause everyone, including his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon), to forget not only Spider-Man’s secret identity but also Peter Parker himself. This was the only way to prevent the Marvel Cinematic Universe from being overwhelmed by the multiverse, and as a result, no one in this universe now recalls Peter Parker.
Pascal mentioned on Deadline’s Behind the Lens that the film centers around the fact that he chose to abandon his identity as Peter Parker and dedicate himself entirely to being Spider-Man, since living as Peter Parker proved too challenging for him.
Spider-Man 24/7
According to Pascal’s remarks, it seems that “Spider-Man 4” draws some influence from the three-issue storyline titled “Spider-Man 24/7“, found in issues #592 to #594 of The Amazing Spider-Man. This story unfolded during the period known as “Dark Reign“, where Spider-Man’s longtime adversary, Norman Osborn, was appointed head of H.A.M.M.E.R., a replacement for S.H.I.E.L.D. During this time, Osborn created the Dark Avengers from the Avengers Tower, which is now owned by Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character Valentina Allegra de Fontaine in the Marvel Studios’ upcoming film “Thunderbolts“.
Following his decision to unveil his hidden persona during the events of the “Civil War”, Spider-Man was able to conceal his identity once more, thanks to the assistance of Doctor Strange and Reed Richards from the Fantastic Four. However, it wasn’t until a later storyline, the four-part arc known as “Spider-Man: One Moment in Time”, that their involvement would be disclosed (a plot point that served as inspiration for the movie “No Way Home”).
Peter asked the Sorcerer Supreme to help erase his Spider-Man identity from people’s memories,” referring to the fact that only his former spouse, Mary Jane Watson, and a select few like his Avengers comrades and fellow members of the Fantastic Four retained knowledge of his secret identity.
Friend or Forgotten?
Contrary to No Way Home, the characters in the Marvel Universe didn’t erase Peter Parker from their minds; instead, they seem to have forgotten the identity hidden behind the Spider-Man mask. Although people might recall the instance of Spider-Man unmasking, their hazy memories tend to picture a face-uncovered Spider-Man, where his real face mysteriously remains obscured.
During their brief expedition to the Macroverse dimension with the Fantastic Four, Johnny Storm (also known as the Human Torch) discovered that he had once been familiar with Spider-Man’s hidden identity, causing tension between them.
In simpler terms, Spider-Man mentioned that the mindwipe created a “blind spot” in people’s minds about his identity as Spider-Man, keeping his secret safe. However, if someone saw his face, they would recall their previous knowledge of him. Despite being cautious and reluctant to reveal his identity, even to his closest superhero friends, Spider-Man finally showed his face again to the Fantastic Four in issue #591 of Amazing Spider-Man.
Swing Shift
In the Macroverse, it took only a few hours, but two months had elapsed on Earth when Spider-Man returned. To his surprise, J. Jonah Jameson had been elected as the mayor of New York City and his personal life was in ruins. As Mayor Jameson formed an Anti-Spider Squad to chase and harass Spider-Man around the clock, our hero chose to spend every minute as a superhero rather than living as Peter Parker. He even wore his costume continuously for 96 hours straight.
24/7, both day and night, the amiable neighborhood Spiderman, also known as the web-slinger, was perpetually on guard. Fending off assaults from the Anti-Spider Squad and a freshly evolved, corrosive Vulture were regular occurrences for him. It wasn’t until he discovered that Osborn, the Green Goblin, had been appointed as the most influential figure in America, that Spiderman understood his relentless crusade. He acknowledged his role in Osborn’s ascension and swore to bring an end to his reign of darkness.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 4
As a die-hard film enthusiast, I can’t help but share my excitement about the upcoming “Spider-Man 4.” The mastermind behind Marvel’s “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” and “Wonder Man,” Destin Daniel Cretton, is steering this new adventure. He’s hinted that it will be something “crazy” and “unlike anything we’ve done before.” I can sense a unique twist that I believe will resonate deeply with fans.
Earlier this year, Holland stated, “Our team is unrivaled in their skills, tackling whatever story comes our way. However, until we’ve found the solution, it’s crucial to uphold our tradition of excellence. The third movie was exceptionally unique in numerous aspects, so we must ensure that our next steps are carefully considered.
He went on, “For the first time in this procedure, I’ve joined the creative phase early. It’s more like an observational and learning phase for me. This stage is truly exciting… We aim to avoid repetition and ensure we don’t go too far.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll first grace the screen in “Avengers: Doomsday” on May 1, 2026, before swinging into action in “Spider-Man 4” on July 24, 2026. Can’t wait for you all to see it!
