Some new plans about Spider-Man<\/a>\u2019s MCU<\/a> future have reportedly been revealed.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios<\/a> and Sony Pictures<\/a> will release Spider-Man 4<\/a>, also known as Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>, next summer. Directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings\u2019 Destin Daniel Cretton, the movie will once again see Tom Holland<\/a> play Peter Parker\/Spider-Man, while Jon Bernthal also reprises his role as Frank Castle\/Punisher.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, it hasn\u2019t been revealed what Spider-Man\u2019s MCU future may look like. It\u2019s assumed that he\u2019ll show up in either (or both) Avengers: Doomsday or Avengers: Secret Wars, though that has not been officially confirmed by Marvel<\/a> at this time.<\/p>\n

What is the new Spider-Man MCU update?<\/p>\n

Scooper Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus<\/a> was asked if there were plans to introduce new versions of Green Goblin<\/a> and Doctor Octopus<\/a> \u2014 meaning, not the versions played by Willem Dafoe and Alfred Molina, both of whom appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home \u2014 for Holland to fight.<\/p>\n

Perez answered, \u201cYes, definitely. And the way that Marvel is handling it in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is going to mirror what the MCU will do for Spidey\u2019s story moving forward. It won\u2019t be a 1:1, but the story beats are going to parallel, kind of like how some story beats in the MCU parallel the stories in What If\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

This is only a rumor and should be treated as such at this time as, again, there haven\u2019t been any plans that have been normally announced regarding what comes next for Holland\u2019s Spider-Man after Brand New Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many have also been speculating about Miles Morales<\/a> being introduced into the MCU at some point soon, especially given that the character plays a big role in the Jonathan Hickman and Esad Ribi\u0107 Secret Wars comic storyline. There\u2019s always the possibility that Miles could have a Green Goblin\/Doctor Octopus storyline, though Kevin Feige has previously said that they likely won\u2019t do anything with the character until Sony\u2019s animated Spider-Verse franchise is finished.<\/p>\n
