Will Tom Holland return for a fourth Spider-Man-centric movie? His future with the franchise is currently unclear, but “No Way Home” left off at a point that could either mark the end of this Peter Parker’s journey or the start of a whole new adventure for him.
Either way, in the wake of stumbles like “Morbius” and “Madame Web” and an uncertain future ahead with “Kraven,” it’s easy to imagine conversations being had in Sony conference rooms about what it would take to finally bring Miles Morales, the protagonist of the “Spider-Verse” films, into live-action. That would be a long overdue development, and could not only provide Sony with the shot in the arm its superhero films desperately need, but could pave the way for the studio to return to making their own Spider-Man films without the creative involvement of Kevin Feige and the folks at Marvel Studios. Whether or not Sony rolling solo on Spider-Man is a good thing is a different conversation, but from both a creative and financial perspective, it seems like returning to Spidey himself in some form should be Sony’s obvious next step here. Ideally, the studio would leave the supporting player tales to Marvel and focus on telling the best story possible about their most important hero.
