Hold on to your web-shooters, because the MCU is cranking up the excitement with the highly anticipated fourth installment in the Spider-Man saga. The ever-reliable Tinseltown insider, MyTimeToShineHello, just dropped a tidbit on X, revealing that filming will begin in the UK at the end of May 2025. Marvel Studios is currently on the hunt for fresh faces, searching for a new female lead and a male counterpart to challenge the fan-favorite wall-crawler, Peter Parker.

The same insider previously spilled the beans that Tom Holland will be back to don the Spider-Man suit for not one, but three more solo films, including Spider-Man 4, 5, and 6. Though the cameras were originally set to roll in late 2024, there has been a major shake-up in production plans. Apart from that, The Hollywood Reporter informed earlier in September Chris McKenna and Eric Sommers, who crafted the first Spider-Man trilogy, are back to pen this new web-slinging adventure.

As the anticipation has been growing ever-intense with the talks of Spider-Man 4, The Hollywood Reporter revealed in early September that Marvel Studios and Sony are in the early stages of conversation with Destin Daniel Cretton to direct this installment. While it is still a bit of a mystery whether formal negotiations have kicked off, insiders said he was the top pick to swing in and take over the reins from Jon Watts.

In August, MyTimeToShineHello revealed on X that Sydney Sweeney—who rocked the Spider suits in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe—has been offered the role of Black Cat in Spider-Man 4. Now, there is no word yet on whether she will snag the role since everything is still up in the air. However, these latest updates have fans holding their breath in anticipation, making them keep their Spidey senses sharp because something amazing could drop at any moment.
