The other week, “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton came onboard an untitled fourth Spider-Man film for Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios.
That was followed by a report suggesting filming is aiming to commence in the UK in late May with additional casting now underway. There was also talk of disagreements between Sony’s Tom Rothman and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige over story.
One thing is for certain, Tom Holland will be back as Peter Parker for his fourth solo outing. He’ll also be shooting this and the next “Avengers” film around the same time.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” scribes Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers are writing the script and speaking on the Rich Roll podcast, Holland offered an update on where things stand:
“We have a creative and a pitch and a draft, which is excellent. It needs work but the writers are doing a great job. I read it 3 weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room, like this is a real movie worthy of fans respect.”
At least it sounds like progress is being made, but a line about more work suggests quite a bit of the script is still in flux. How long is expected to spend much of next year shooting the film.
