Nothing has been said by Marvel Studios nor is any sequel contemplated within the ambitious release schedule of the MCU. However, Spider-Man clearly presumes a future in the Avengers universe, as long as the House of Ideas and Sony Pictures – owner of the character’s film rights – maintain such a fruitful association. For now, new rumors indicate that Spider-Man 4 it already has a tentative release date and that it probably has a solid connection with the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Againscheduled for early 2024.
According to sources of Cosmic CircusMarvel and Sony would have agreed to release a fourth film in the saga spider-man on July 12, 2024; that is, in the final stretch of Phase 5 of the MCU. In fact, if the current calendar did not undergo any modification, the next Spider-Man adventure would hit theaters two weeks before the premiere of Thunderbolts. Therefore, if it is true that Spider-Man 4 intended to be the big summer debut two years from now, there will obviously be a date change for the crossover with Yelena Belova and the Winter Soldier. However, it should be noted that the information on the alleged launch is not official. It’s not even certain that the next Spidey movie is currently in development.
On the other hand, granting truth to the rumor, it is irresistible to try to figure out what the film will be about and what links it will have with other titles in the franchise. To begin with, there are some factors that could twin Spider-Man 4 with Daredevil: Born Again. The most obvious is that the wall-crawler and demon of Hell’s Kitchen are New York’s quintessential local heroes; ergo, there is justification for their paths to cross too often.

In addition to the above, let us remember that Spider-Man: No Way Home already brought together Matt Murdock / Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in the same scene. So the introductions made, it seems obvious that a desire of Marvel Studios is to take the relationship of both vigilantes to the streets of New York, where they fight side by side against countless criminals.
The company’s president, Kevin Feige, even noted at Comic-Con 2022 that Daredevil and Spider-Man are part of a key angle in the MCU; specifically, that of conflicts at the «street level». And an appropriate way to interpret this is that Spidey will put aside his participation in fights against aliens and beings from parallel universes to focus again on the evildoers of his own city, including the white collars; something Daredevil is an expert at.
Along these lines, a rumor that has been circulating for weeks is that the wealthy and Machiavellian Wilson Fisk / Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) plans to become mayor of New York in the future series Threw out from DisneyPlus; a show whose premiere —in mid-2023— will take place months before that of Daredevil: Born Again. So if the Kingpin lands such a government job, it’s likely that’s how we’ll find him on the devilish vigilante show; that is, as a supervillain with enough economic and political power to also harm the life of a certain university student with the ability to shoot webs and swing from one building to another.
In short, the theory is that Spider-Man 4 It will be about the alliance between Daredevil and the wall-crawler to dethrone Wilson Fisk. Do you like the idea?
