The script for Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man 4” is currently undergoing significant revisions, indicating a major overhaul from its original version. The initial script, which has since been scrapped, featured the villains Scorpion and Shocker. These characters were set to play pivotal roles in the sequel, continuing their storylines from “Spider-Man: Homecoming” where they were both arrested after encounters with Spider-Man.
The decision to rewrite the script reportedly stems from dissatisfaction from Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige, despite Tom Holland expressing enthusiasm for the original story. This discrepancy suggests a clash between the creative vision of the actor and the studio’s leadership. Holland has been vocal about his excitement for the project, even reading a draft of the script that “lit a fire” in him, indicating his strong connection to the character and the story.
The original script’s focus on Scorpion and Shocker was part of a broader trend in the MCU Spider-Man films to introduce antagonists who had not previously appeared in live-action. This approach aimed to differentiate the MCU’s Spider-Man from other iterations, such as those in the Sam Raimi and Marc Webb films. However, the rewrite could signal a shift in this strategy, potentially introducing new villains or focusing on different aspects of Spider-Man’s rogues’ gallery.
As the rewrite progresses, fans are left speculating about the new direction of “Spider-Man 4.” The film is expected to explore the emotional aftermath of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” where Peter Parker’s identity was erased from the world’s memory. With production set to begin in the summer of 2025, more details are likely to emerge soon, potentially revealing which villains will take center stage and how Peter Parker’s journey will continue.
