It's pretty heavily rumored that it's going to be another big multiverse movie with Knull as the main villain after he's set-up in Venom 3.
I really hope they don't another multi-verse Spider-Man movie. I would love them to bring the character back to being "Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man." While I like Tom Holland and the Spider-Man movies he has done, this one of the reasons why I still prefer the Toby McGuire movies.
Same here (on the multiverse). It was great to see Toby and Andrew again, but they don’t need to be in every film (though I wouldn’t object to Sony making standalone sequels to either of their films). Between NWH, the Spiderverse films, The Flash and Deadpool v Wolverine, the novelty of seeing heroes cross over is wearing very thin.
It's not like the Secret Invasion comic was all that good to start with.
Do not hold your breath on that one. I would love to see a MCU Spider-Man movie where he has zero connections to any of the usual over the top sci-fi (read: aliens, etc.), magic or anything else of that kind.
The Raimi series captured the tone and heart of the comic's best eras closer than anything since.
The rumor I've heard is that Holland wants to do a more traditional Spider-Man movie following on from where he left off at the end of No Way Home--alone, few to no resources, the classic down-on-his-luck Peter Parker--but Sony (I didn't see Marvel mentioned) is pushing for more multiverse shenanigans. Hopefully Holland gets his way.
Spider-Man acting like he's in his own world where no other superheroes exist but the "Grounded" ones is creatively bankrupt thinking and Zero Effort.
I read the same rumors. It was either a street level movie with Daredevil and Kingpin or a Multiverse film. And it seems like the multiverse idea won and the street level movie will have to wait.
And Doctor Strange 2.
I wonder if they might compromise. The villain comes from the multi-verse but all the action is contained within New York and Spider-Man has to fight him on a more grounded level. No more fancy Stark style suit as well.
If Sony is truly bound and determined to make the movie about Knull, then I don't see how it could possibly stay grounded. He's basically the god of the symbiotes.
It seemed Holland had the right idea about Spider-Man, but once again, they're shoving what was once Marvel's most independent character (a trait which defined him across generations) in favor of more cartoony, Destroy All Monsters / everything in the blender sci-fi nonsense.
And Wolverine. All the "loners" get the most team-ups.
Yeah, Spider-Man hasn't been independent since... wait, didn't he try to become a member of the Fantastic Four in his very first issue of his first solo series? Off to a great start, "loner".

Spider-Man has been an Avenger pretty consistently since the early 2000s, they have the whole big multiversal Spider team ups that they've been doing for a while now and he's been constantly doing smaller team ups in all that time. I'm pretty sure there were also quite a few team up and crossovers in his earlier days too, so I don't know if he ever really qualified as a "loner". Teams up and the multiverse are a pretty big part of his character now, and the MCU has almost always been more influenced by the modern comics, so it really shouldn't come as a surprise that they're bringing that stuff into the MCU movies.
The Amazing Spider-Man--the character's home title--was not a team-up book, For anyone who read the title, his solo status was a constant part of his established character, hence one of the reasons that book was not littered with guest stars in every issue (Marvel Team-Up's job, despite how often various editors attempted to explain its wildly inconsistent time-line relevant to the parent book). Holland's instincts about an future Spider-Man film are correct.
