Tom Holland’sSpider-Manfranchise has served as the cash cow Marvel needed to sustain the economy of the studio with astounding profit. That has to be one of the few reasons for another sequel nod to the beloved MCU superhero.
Jon Watts started the project sitting on the director’s chair since the first installment of the franchise,Spider-Man: Homecoming, released in 2017. The director went on to direct both the sequels—Spider-Man: Far From Home(2019) and the grand multiversal flickSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021). Now, will he helm the fourth installment?

Is Jon Watts Leaving TheSpider-ManFranchise?
Jon Wattstook theSpider-Manfranchise to another level with insane popularity and box office marvel. The third installmentSpider-Man: No Way Homeearned Marvel Studios a whopping $1.9 billion against the $200 million. So, there was an immediate nod for a fourthSpider-Manmovie. In May 2023, Marvel producerAmy Pascalconfirmed another Spidey movie withTom Holland,but the project was in the very early stages. Later, Holland addressed the upcoming sequel while speaking withCollider.
“All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character. Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing.”
Fans were assured of the update with Watts returning to his director’s chair. However, a recent update suggests that the director is leaving the franchise after the third movie. Industry insiderDaniel Richtmanrecently claimed thatWatts has decided to leave the franchise before the fourth installment. However, Marvel has a backup plan.
Drew Goddard,who created Netflix’sDaredevil,is set to helm the upcoming project. Now the question is, why would Watts leave one of the most successful MCU franchises? Are bad days looming above the studio? Goddard’s prowess is commendable, but it would be interesting what he would bring to the table after Watts. Still, Marvel should make executive decisions wisely considering the recent failure ofThe Marvels.Certainly, fans will never forgive a devastatingSpider-Manmovie.

Will Tom Holland Return inSpider-Man 4?
Spider-Manstar owes almost everything to the franchise for his role that sets him as a global star. However, the actor believes he has the potential to play roles beyond the protection of the MCU. Of late, particularly after, 2021’sSpider-Man: No Way Home,Holland has considered venturing into other roles to support his resume rather than continuing the titular character.“I feel very protective over Spider-Man,”Holland told Collider.
“I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy. So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character.”

In another interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Holland also addressed the forthcoming movie.
“There’s a bit of a stigma about the fourth one in all franchises,”he said.“I feel like we hit a home run with our first franchise and there’s a part of me that wants to walk away with my head held high.And pass the baton to the next lucky kid that gets to bring this character to life.”
However, Marvel may not let the actor leave, but again’s Watts exit made all things uncertain.Spider-Man 4doesn’t have a release date as of writing this piece.
