Spider-Man: No Way Home set up a new status quo for Tom Holland’s wall-crawler.
So how come we haven’t heard anything about a fourth Holland Spidey movie?
So why the heck is Marvel unsure about what to do next?
Spider-Man: No Way Homestripped all of that away by the end.
The simple answer is that Ill always want to do Spider-Man films, Holland toldDeadline.
I owe my life and career toSpider-Man.
So the simple answer is yes.
Ill always want to do more.

So why then have we not seen a follow-up toNo Way Homeyet?
Hollands answer isnt quite so simple.
We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be.
But until weve cracked it, we have a legacy to protect, he explained.
According to Holland, part of the stall comes from worries about repeating past plot points.
That might sound ridiculous after the nostalgia-fest that wasNo Way Home, but he has a point.
In short, the character has crawled across a lot of walls.
The Sinister Sinking of Spider-Mans Foes
Perhaps the biggest problem stems fromNo Way Homeitself.
AndFX artist Quentin Beckwas a natural to work under the egotistical Stark.
But thenNo Way Homedecided to recycle old, classic adversaries from previous film incarnations.
Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus are two of Spider-Mans best baddies, andWillem DafoeandAlfred Molinaturned in defining performances.
Unfriendly Neighborhood Spider-Villains
Fortunately, they have one under-explored option sitting right there.
Michael Mando ofBetter Call Saulfame had a bit part inHomecomingas Mac Gargan, the civilian name of the Scorpion.
According to Marvel lore, Gargan became the Scorpion when J. J. Jameson recruited him to fight against Spider-Man.
But then that brings up the problem of the multiverse, something that Sony desperately wants to exploit.
AfterNo Way Home, Peter Parker has an opportunity to become the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man that people really love.
After all, bothPunisherand the Kingpin began as Spider-Man villains.
Spider-Man: Stay at Home
Tom Holland is right.
Spider-Man is the best superhero of all time and one who always resonates with audiences.
And they have a fantastic star in the form of Tom Holland, who captures Peters sweetness and tragedy.
