"Spider-Man is keeping awfully busy these days. Multiple live-action movie franchises led to a multiversal crossover adventure in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while in animation, the multiverse was already old hat thanks to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which assembled all sorts of Spider-Man variants. Both universes have new movies in the pipeline, but a new update teases the revival of a third Spider-Man series - and arguably his most iconic actor."
"In July 2025, a fan on X asked Mattson Tomlin, co-writer of The Batman: Part II, if he had a strong idea for a Spider-Man movie. "Honestly right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey's Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father," Tomlin responded. "Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last 8 films.""
Multiple live-action Spider-Man franchises produced a multiversal crossover in No Way Home while the animated Spider-Verse previously explored variant heroes. New movies are planned across both live-action and animated Spider-Man continuities. A proposed project would depict Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker juggling marriage and fatherhood, integrating later-life stakes similar to animated depictions of Mayday Parker. The concept remains early-stage and faces complex rights and logistical hurdles. Conversations about the idea have occurred and no official rejection has been issued. Development timelines remain uncertain and the project may take a long time or never materialize.
