Swing Time: Tom Holland Says “Spider-Man 4” to Start Filming Next Summer
Tom Holland came on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon ready to unleash a major web of movie news.
“Next summer, we start shooting,” Holland told Fallon. “Everything’s good to go. We’re nearly there. Super exciting. I can’t wait!”
Holland was talking about Spider-Man 4, of course, which will be the first Spidey film since the trilogy capping instant classic Spider-Man: No Way Home bowed in 2021 and revealed Holland’s Peter Parker teaming up with Parkers past—Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Men—to vanquish a trio of classic villains. It was on Fallon before No Way Home that Holland appeared, and Holland said there weren’t any other Spider-Men in the movie except him.
“You totally, without a doubt, professionally lied to us all,” Fallon said. “But I will say, it was worth it.
It wasn’t easy for Holland, Garfield, and Maguire to keep their secret safe from the press and eager public sniffing around the possibility that there would be a super-team of Spider-Men in No Way Home, but Holland said they went to great lengths. “We were in a bubble. Tobey and Andrew would come to set in a cloak. It was like something out of Star Wars. It was hilarious.”
Holland had recently revealed on the Rich Roll podcast that he and Zendaya had read a draft of the Spider-Man 4 script, saying that while it needed some work, the writers had done a great job. “It really lit a fire in me,” Holland said on the podcast. “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 the fans’ respect.”
Jon Watts directed the three previous Spider-Man films, but as of September, Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton was in talks to helm Spider-Man 4.
