Announcing Spider-Man 4 Details Soon Would Fix MCU & Sony Problems
Both Sony and Disney are experiencing problems with their respective Marvel franchises, and announcing concrete details on Spider-Man 4 could be mutually beneficial for both studios. Following the MCU debut of Tom Holland's Spider-Man in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, the web-slinger has become one of the MCU's cornerstone characters. Sony has continued to reap the box office benefits of his big-screen adventures in their deal with Marvel Studios, with 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home being embraced as the ultimate love letter to the character and earning very commensurate box offices rewards.
With that said, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has begun experiencing some increasingly undeniable slumps in terms of its general popularity as the biggest movie franchise in history. Likewise, Sony's own plans for their universe of Spider-Man villains have not truly managed to get off the ground with several barriers standing in its way. While the MCU's Spider-Man 4 has long since been officially announced, given both Sony and Marvel's contractual involvement in every Spider-Man movie, presenting more solid details on it could be just what each entity needs.
