There are countless enigmas in the world – lost cities, unsolved mysteries, unexplainable occurrences, and so on. However, there is one that continues to haunt the minds of film fanatics: who is going to be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig? Will it be the heavily reported Aaron Taylor-Johnson who takes the win, or will the people’s 007 Henry Cavill swoop in at the last minute and snag the deal for himself? The conundrum continues.

Keeping the face of the secret agent aside, it looks like the franchise is no longer stuck in a place and is finally moving ahead. How so? Well, Amazin MGM has found two producers for the next James Bond film, and let’s just say that this is big news for Spider-Man fans.

The future of the "James Bond" franchise has come more clearly into focus, and it appears that Amazon is now wasting no time getting the next film moving after years of essentially no movement. To briefly recap, Amazon recently gained full creative control over 007, with longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson stepping aside. So, who will produce the next era of the legendary MI6 spy? That question has been answered.

Amy Pascal and David Heyman have been named as the producers of the currently untitled new "James Bond" film by Amazon MGM Studios, per a press release. The duo, who both have decades of experience working in big franchises (more on that in a moment) will now set about shaping the future of Bond on the big screen. One of the biggest things they need to do is get an actor cast as our next James Bond,...

Charlie Cox, the actor who plays Daredevil, recently talked about his cameo in Spider-Man: No Way Home. In the latest issue of Disney’s D23 magazine, he called it a “two-year nightmare.”

Cox said, “When they told me I was going to be in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home,’ it was a two-year nightmare trying to keep that from everyone.” He had to keep his role a secret for a long time.

Cox played Matt Murdock, Peter Parker’s lawyer, in the 2021 movie. Fans loved seeing him back as Daredevil. Theaters cheered when he appeared on screen.

He said, “Sometimes it feels as though things happen out of nowhere. Vince and I were like, ‘Great! I guess we’re going back to work.'” Vincent D’Onofrio, who plays Kingpin, also returned to the MCU around the same time in the Hawkeye series.

Fans haven't given up hope on Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man trilogy, even after plans for that sequel were scrapped. A concept trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 proves how that Venom crossover would have been an easy layup.

A new concept trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 offers a glimpse of how that film would have played out. It's a somber sequel that picks up immediately after Gwen Stacy's death. Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker mourns her death as her voice helps him deal with the loss. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 hinted the Sinister Six was coming after revealing the Rhino in the end; that sparked hope the epic crossover would happen, that was until plans for Part 3 were shelved. "The Amazing Spider-Man 3: New Beginning" offered an alternative storyline, however, and it's partly inspired by Venom: The Last Dance.

The trailer imagined Peter duking it out with Venom in a symbiote storyline.

The Spider-Man 4 rumors have been picking up steam since it was announced that Stranger Things breakout Sadie Sink has joined the cast of the movie in a mysterious lead role, and a new casting call doing the rounds online (via Daniel Richtman) has amped speculation up to another level.

Sink's character is described as "a sharp and free-spirited woman with a mysterious past. Strong-willed, intelligent, and not easily intimidated."

Any number of Marvel Comics heroes and villains could potentially fit the bill here. There's been some chatter about Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, but the prevailing theory is that Sink will play a new take on Mary Jane Watson. The X-Men's Jean Grey is another possibility, but it's looking increasingly likely that this initial rumor sprang from crossed wires about which project Sink was in talks for.

As for the female villain we've been hearing about, Marvel/Sony...

Although the two Avengers films are in the focus of Marvel’s fans, the fourth Spider-Man movie is also one of the most highly anticipated projects, as the fans want to see how Tom Holland’s MCU future will evolve and how Marvel is going to resolve the story from No Way Home.

At this point, we know that the movie is going to be made, that Tom Holland is coming back, and that the movie is being worked on as we speak. Everything else is just a rumor at this point, but since there are so many rumors, we have a new one for you as well.

Namely, according to Daniel Richtman, Marvel is looking to cast at least four new characters for the movie:

New Female Lead – A sharp and free-spirited woman with a mysterious past.

After the billion-dollar hit of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," the fourth Tom Holland-led Spidey movie has been surprisingly slow-moving. But it is in the works, and targeting a July 2026 release date. "Spider-Man 4" recently scored a new female lead in actress Sadie Sink, but what about the movie's big bad?

There's been no confirmed villain and, truthfully, the Spider-Man films have already gone through his major adversaries. "No Way Home" even brought back past villains for a multiversal Sinister Six. That probably cools the chances of us getting a Marvel Cinematic Universe-original Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, etc. for now.

Kraven the Hunter has been the perennial "they'll definitely do him in the next movie" pick since back when Andrew Garfield was still going to get his "Amazing Spider-Man 3." But Sony instead chose to make a (terrible) "Kraven the Hunter" solo movie, so I doubt they'll want to drag him out again so soon.

Good news for our folks in the UK and Ireland. Chinese box office darling Ne Zha 2 will be released this weekend, on Friday, March 21 and will be followed by 37 other countries in the coming weeks. Previews have started as early as March 14.

Earlier this month, Deadline reported that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink will star alongside Tom Holland in the next Spider-Man movie. That film, to be helmed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and produced by Amy Pascal and Marvel President Kevin Feige, will refresh Peter Parker's story after all memory of him as Spider-Man was wiped from the world at the end of No Way Home.

Sink is best known for playing fan-favorite Max in Netflix's Stranger Things, which returns for its fifth and final season later this year. There's currently no word on who she's playing in the upcoming Spider-Man film, but one of the most popular choices is X-Men character Jean Grey, previously played by Sophie Turner in the X-Men movie franchise. Jean Grey has red hair like Sink, and it's known that Marvel has plans to bring the X-Men into the MCU,...

Marvel fans have been eagerly awaiting the fourth installment of the Tom Holland-helmed Spider-Man franchise, which seemingly appeared to have been stuck in limbo since No Way Home. Now that a fourth film is the works under the leadership of Destin Daniel Cretton. Still in the world, it was recently revealed that Netflix star Sadie Sink has joined the film.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is no stranger to fan theories, rather it is one of the most attractive points of the franchise that draws fans. Now that Tom Holland’s fourth Spider-Man film is in the making and Sadie Sink has reportedly been roped in for an unnamed role, one of the most exciting ideas currently circulating is that she might play Tobey Maguire and Kristen Dunst’s on-screen daughter.

Since the upcoming flick is rumored to be yet another multiversal adventure, to be released between Doomsday and Secret Wars, this theory does make sense and could be a game-changer for Holland’s next movie.

Sadie Sink has made a name for herself after starring as Max Mayfield in Netflix’s Stranger Things.

Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink is among the top choices for fan-casting for X-Men's Jean Grey. Marvel Cinematic Universe's new X-Men film hasn't received many updates, but Sink's name has been in the headlines for a long time.

So far, the new X-Men film has no official actors tied to the project, although there have been several reports about different characters. Rumors have swirled that Sink, as well as Harris Dickinson and Julia Butters, are tied to the roles of Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Kitty Pryde, respectively. In a new Happy Sad Confused podcast appearance, Sink addressed the rumors for the first time.

Josh Horowitz told the actress around the 41:15 mark, "If the internet is to be believed, you are already Jean Grey in X-Men," to which she laughed, confirming that people have asked her about this before.

The rumors are really cool.

Tom Holland took the world by storm when he took over the role of Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. From his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War to his solo trilogy Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland has only managed to impress the audience with his work.

His strong first impression as Spider-Man has stayed with the audience, which is why they are eager to watch him back on-screen in his Spidey suit.

Tom Holland's iteration of the wall-crawler was last seen back in 2021 during the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and then completely disappeared from the public eye. On the bright side, the wait for his return is getting shorter and shorter. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is staging a big comeback for one of its most popular heroes, and all eyes are set on Spider-Man 4 to create an engaging story capable of surpassing all expectations.

Spider-Man: Homecoming introduced Zendaya's Mj, with Spider-Man: No Way Home revealing that her full name is Michelle Jones Watson. Throwing the "real" Mj into the mix is an intriguing decision and one that's drawn a mixed response from fans.

Marvel Studios and Sony's nextSpider-Maninstallment starring Tom Holland has been developing slowly despite the monstrous success of No Way Home. The highly anticipated follow-up has much to live up to, not just in terms of box office, since it must also fulfill audiences with its storyline. No Way Home successfully united Holland with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. The previous Spider-Man film also put its nostalgia factor into overdrive with appearances from villains who first appeared in the Sam Raimi and Marc Webb-helmed films. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Destin Daniel Cretton will take over the directing duties from Jon Watts for the next Spider-Man film, currently set for a July 31, 2026 release.

It’s been nine years since Zendaya officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Michelle “Mj” Jones in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Her debut was met with mixed reactions from fans, and some of them were racially charged. Of course, the actress did not let her haters put her down—she even dealt with one humorously!

Zendaya starred alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, and despite the star previously claiming her character was not a romantic interest, Mj ended up sharing a relationship with our superhero.

Once upon a time, Zendaya humorously responded to a hater

Zendaya faced casting backlash in 2016 after Marvel and Sony announced that she would play Mj in Jon Watt’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. The character is originally depicted as a white woman in the comics, so when an actress of African-American descent was hired for the part, some fans did not take it well.

Still tentatively titled "Spider-Man 4," the fourth Marvel Cinematic Universe Spider-Man movie is still in the works. Highly anticipated, given the runaway success of 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, the next movie will be an exciting new chapter in the life of Tom Holland's Peter Parker.

From the villains to the exact scope of the story, there's little that's been set in stone about the next Spider-Man sequel.

Rumours of Sadie Sink teaming up with Marvel Studios have been doing the rounds for some time now, with serial scoopers such as The InSneider having previously posited that the star could be Kevin Feige's pick to play X-Men lynchpin Jean Grey, but today's casting confirmation is the first official word on Sink's Marvel plans.

Sadie Sink has been cast to star opposite Tom Holland in “Spider-Man 4” – but who could she play?

Sink is the first major actor to join the project and her announcement led to much speculation as to who she could play in the Marvel sequel, which will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi”) and is due to start filming this year.

The “Stranger Things” star has been at the top of fans’ wishlist for a certain phoenix-fueled X-Man for years now, but that’s far from the only option for the actress.

Below are three of the top running possibilities for Sink to play in the upcoming MCU sequel and how she could possibly be incorporated.

Deadline reports that Sadie Sink has joined the cast of Tom Holland's upcoming fourth Spider-Man film. Sink is a rising star, having broke out with her role as Max Mayfield on "Stranger Things." She's since gone on to make notable appearances in the "Fear Street" films and play a supporting part in Darren Aronofsky's Brendan Fraser comeback vehicle, "The Whale."

The report does not say which character Sink is playing, and it may be more complicated than it appears. Now, Sink's red hair should set off all of your spider-senses. The obvious conclusion is that she'll be playing Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker's famously red-haired girlfriend. But doesn't Tom Holland's Peter already have an Mj?

It wasn't until now that the story could fundamentally include the X-Men.

Stranger Things star Sadie Sink will join Tom Holland in the fourth Spider-Man film.

Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is helming the movie that is currently untitled. Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna penned the screenplay.

The plot for the fourth Spider-Man is being kept under wraps, with the last film, No Way Home, ending with the world forgetting that teenager Peter Parker was Spider-Man, including Mj (Zendaya). It is unclear who Sink will play in the film.

Holland teased the fourth film last year during a stop on Good Morning America, saying, “The idea is crazy. It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.”

Sony Pictures has set a theatrical release for July 31, 2026.

Sadie Sink is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The “Stranger Things” star has been cast in “Spider-Man 4,” in which she’ll share the screen with Tom Holland as the teenaged, web-slinging Avenger.

It’s unclear who Sink will portray in the comic book adventure, though Deadline, which first reported the casting news, hinted that her role will be “significant.” The outlet also posited that Sink could play “X-Men” mutant Jean Grey, a character who has been brought to the screen in the past by Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, which releases the “Spider-Man”-centric films in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, couldn’t be reached for comment.

Plot details on the fourth “Spider-Man” installment haven’t been revealed. In the third entry, 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Peter Parker accidentally breaks open the multiverse and allows for two prior Spider-Men, Tobey MaGuire and Andrew Garfield,...

Spider-Man4 just added a Stranger Things star, but she may not be the X-Men character she has long been rumored for. The long-gestating sequel has seen some delays and creative overhauls in recent years, but it seems the latest update means Marvel Studios has nailed down a story for the No Way Home follow-up.

Deadline reports that Sadie Sink has joined Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4 in an undisclosed role. She will be a major part of the film, but it is unclear if she is playing Jean Grey, another version of Mary Jane, or Gwen Stacy. There is also the possibility she is playing Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat. The trade outlet seems to speculate that Sink is either the red-headed member of the X-Men or Peter Parker's love interest Mj, but as most people are well aware of, actors tend to dye their hair (or wear wigs) for certain roles.

Announced last year, Spider-Man 4 is officially in development, though details remain scarce. What has been confirmed is that Tom Holland and Zendaya will reprise their roles, with Destin Daniel Cretton set to direct.

Before the film’s confirmation, reports suggested Marvel Studios was torn between two potential directions: a Multiversal storyline continuing from No Way Home or a grounded, street-level narrative featuring Daredevil and Kingpin.

However, after Robert Downey Jr. was confirmed to return to the MCU as Doctor Doom, Marvel Studios reportedly decided to pursue the Multiversal storyline.

Since development was confirmed, speculation about potential villains has been nonstop. Rumors have linked the film to various iconic foes, including Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Knull, Vulture, and more from Spider-Man’s legendary rogues’ gallery.

Woodbine was also asked if there was ever any talk of him donning a more comic-accurate costume.

It began with 2008’s “Iron Man,” a film that introduced the world to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark with the hint that he could be part of something greater. Over 30 films later, the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is still being told, albeit with various tributaries and detours that introduce new characters and new worlds that may or may not cross paths one day.

One of the most exciting aspects of Daredevil's reboot on Disney+ is that Matt Murdock is now a more significant part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe than ever before. On Netflix, Charlie Cox's Man Without Fear was allowed to make subtle references to the MCU, but his recent inclusion in Marvel series and movies allows him to interact more directly with our favorite heroes. Notably, after the Netflix series was canceled, Daredevil made his initial return in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home as Peter Parker's lawyer. Now, a small reference in Daredevil: Born Again may hint at a potential team-up in the future.

There have been numerous theories and rumors relating to Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios' fourth solo Spider-Man movie, and speculation really kicked up a few notches when some pretty wild reports about which characters could be involved in the story started doing the rounds a couple of months back.

Now, a new rumor may give us a better idea of what to expect.

According to Daniel Richtman, Spider-Man 4 is basically being developed as "a direct sequel" to Avengers: Doomsday that will bridge the gap between the 2026 film and 2027's Avengers: Secret Wars.

We have heard that Tom Holland's wall-crawler is going to have a major role in Doomsday, so Spider-Man 4 serving as a follow-up (to at least some extent) would make sense.

While Garfield's No Way Home appearance sent the rumor mill into overdrive, the rumors surrounding Cox's role in the Spider-Man threequel were just as thrilling. Not only did it mark his first time playing Daredevil since 2018, but that scene was also his true introduction to the greater MCU outside of Netflix's Defenders Saga.

Considering how many wild cameos and characters were used for No Way Home, the cast was naturally sworn to secrecy of the highest level (even if that did not work for Alfred Molina). However, those secrets were always in danger of being leaked thanks to those big names being in such close proximity.

Charlie Cox recalled leaking his Spider-Man: No Way Home cameo to Andrew Garfield. They also realized (at the last moment) they were spoiling the film by meeting in public.

Andrew Garfield had no idea that Matt Murdock would appear in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Charlie Cox told Marvel (per Variety). Garfield even insisted Cox wasn't in the script. "I got to Atlanta to film Spider-Man. I got to this hotel and was getting ready to go out and I texted Andrew Garfield," Cox recalled. "I pretty much knew he was in the film because I read all the stuff online." Admitting he was also unaware of Garfield's involvement in the film, he said that quick conversation confirmed everything.

"I texted him: 'If the trades are to be believed then we are in the same movie,'" Cox continued. "And he's like: 'I don't think so, dude. I'm doing Spider-Man.' So I was like: 'Yeah,...

If you’re wondering what Tom Hiddleston’s God of Mischief is up to now that the final stages of the multiverse saga of the Marvel Cinematic Universe are right around the corner, you might as well brace yourselves for some disappointment even though it is only understandable to expect Loki to grace his presence in the lore.

This is because the franchise is keeping strictly tight-lipped about the God of Thunder’s adopted brother’s involvement in the saga. In fact, while fans can look forward to Robert Downey Jr. returning to the super-verse with chaos as Doctor Doom alongside multiple other characters, keeping their expectations low on Hiddleston’s return might as well be a good choice for now.

Spider-Man: No Way Home was one of the most ambitious crossover events in Marvel history, bringing together characters from different Spider-Man franchises. The film featured the long-awaited return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield alongside Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. The movie also marked the official entry of Charlie Cox’s Daredevil into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Matt Murdock making a surprise cameo as Peter’s lawyer.

Although Andrew Garfield and Charlie Cox never shared screen time, they had an unexpected behind-the-scenes encounter that nearly jeopardized the secrecy of their roles. Aware of the speculation surrounding Garfield’s return, Cox decided to reach out to his old friend upon arriving in Atlanta. However, the duo quickly realized that being seen together in public could ruin one of the film’s biggest surprises.

Theo James’ career nearly took an unexpected turn after the actor auditioned for the 2011 fantasy adventure film Conan the Barbarian. While losing an audition is not usually considered fortunate, it may have proved to be a boon for The White Lotus actor, who recently revealed that it was one of the first roles that he auditioned for.

James, who has gained recognition for his work in shows and movies like The Gentlemen, The Divergent, and The Monkey, recently reflected on his audition for the Jason Momoa starrer, which ended up being a huge flop.

Having debuted during the lucrative Chinese New Year period with record-breaking numbers, the blockbuster animated film Ne Zha 2 has now passed another milestone. On its 28th day of release in theaters, Ne Zha 2 overtook Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the seventh-biggest film in global box office history, and the second-biggest film of the post-pandemic era. Importantly, No Way Home wasn't released in China, and Ne Zha 2 has received only a limited release in North America. The vast majority of its revenue comes from the Middle Kingdom, where it now ranks number one on the all-time charts.

Fans calling for Tom Holland's Spider-Man to feature in the Marvel Cinematic Universe's TV shows get a definitive reason regarding his absence on the small screen. Marvel executive Brad Winderbaum shares why Peter Parker won't appear in any Disney+ series, before his return in Spider-Man 4.

Speaking with Brandon Davis on the Phase Hero podcast about Daredevil: Born Again, Winderbaum was asked why Holland's wall-crawling hero hasn't featured on any Disney+ shows throughout his MCU run. According to the Marvel producer, a rights issue involving Sony has prevented potential appearances. “[Sony has] the long-form television rights, we can do 30-minute animation,” he said.

Spider-Man and Daredevil’s friendship goes back a long way, which makes sense as both superheroes are notable for working at a street level, making their dynamic all the more interesting. In the MCU, we did get a glimpse of it in No Way Home, and with Daredevil: Born Again on the horizon, fans felt their bond would be explored more in the following seasons.

Unfortunately, contrary to the rumors that let us believe that a crossover between them on the small screen was inevitable, according to Marvel TV head, Tom Holland’s cameo is unlikely because of Sony’s clause.

Sony has decided to push Spider-Man 4 back by a week, shifting its release date from July 24, 2026, to July 31, 2026, as per The Hollywood Reporter. The slight delay places the highly anticipated film just two weeks after Tom Holland’s next big project, The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan.

With Destin Daniel Cretton, director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, at the helm, the fourth installment will see Holland reprise his role as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya as Mj. However, the plot details remain a mystery.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is reportedly going down Marvel’s preferred path. Despite Sony’s insistence on another multiversal storyline, reports suggest that the new film is far more grounded and probably will not feature any multiverse villains. The fourth McU-set Spider-Man film is reportedly drawing inspiration from another grounded superhero story in recent times.

Matt Reeves’ The Batman, starring Robert Pattinson, was a gritty thriller that did not have the grandeur of the Dceu Batman. However, it received an overwhelming response from DC fans, which suggests that viewers are accepting of such grounded stories amidst alleged superhero fatigue.

Tobey Maguire‘s three-movie run as Spider-Man still remains the fan-favorite among the three web-slingers.

Spider-Man 4's release date has officially been bumped. However, the delay that the movie now faces is a minuscule change, which means superhero fans will only have to wait one extra week until Tom Holland returns to the big screen as Peter Parker and his webslinging alter ego. The follow-up to 2021’s blockbuster Spider-Man: No Way Home was originally slated for release on July 24, 2026, but the film will now drop seven days later on July 31, according to a new report published by Variety.

Making the shift means the Sony/Marvel flick is swinging away from some pretty stiff competition, which has summer blockbuster aspirations of its own. So, the move shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, particularly to movie lovers, and those executives behind the No Way Home sequel undoubtedly must have felt their collective Spider-Senses tingling. Had the release date not been changed, Spider-Man 4...
