A Scarlet Witch solo movie centered on Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff may not be on Marvel Studios’ release slate for a long time.
According to a Production Weekly listing, (via MyTimetoShineHello), Spider-Man 4 is titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day. If accurate, Spider-Man 4‘s title is seemingly a nod to the Brand New Day comic book storyline that followed the One More Day arc, which erased Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s marriage from continuity and also made everyone forget Spider-Man’s secret identity (which he revealed in the Civil War comics). The listing included a Spider-Man 4 plot synopsis, giving insight into what Peter Parker has been up to since Spider-Man: No Way Home ended:
Following the events of Doomsday, Peter Parker is determined to lead a normal life and focus on college, stepping back from his responsibilities as Spider-Man. However, peace is short-lived when a deadly new threat emerges, endangering his friends and forcing Peter to reconsider his promise. With stakes higher than ever, Peter reluctantly returns to his Spider-Man identity and finds himself teaming up with an unlikely ally to protect those he loves.
While this Spider-Man 4 plot synopsis is generic, the cast listing provides potentially exciting information. Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, and Michael Keaton’s Vulture are listed as “mentioned to join the cast.” However, this cast listing is seemingly based on the Spider-Man 4 rumors circulating online, so fans should take it with a grain of salt. Aside from Holland, Zendaya is the only other actor listed as an official cast member.
Production Weekly information is best taken with caution. While accurate news has surfaced from the website in the past, Production Weekly reportedly doesn’t vet its listings, resulting in faulty information at times. As a recent example, a Production Weekly listing claimed a Mr. Freeze Batman spinoff movie was in development. However, DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn debunked the rumor after it was brought to his attention on Threads.
Although the cast list and plot synopsis may not be much to go on, the rumored Spider-Man 4 title doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility. Much like the One More Day comic book storyline, Spider-Man: No Way Home effectively reset Peter Parker’s relationship with Zendaya’s MJ and erased the wall-crawler’s secret identity from everyone’s memory. So, naming Spider-Man 4 after the comic book story that followed One More Day would be appropriate. Fans will likely find out the official Spider-Man 4 title soon enough, and considering the film is sandwiched between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, the wall-crawler’s next solo movie will undoubtedly have ramifications for the MCU.
Spider-Man 4 is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 24, 2026.
