At D23, fans also saw an unreleased Daredevil trailer, which clearly isn’t suitable for children.
Little has been revealed about the much-anticipated Spider-Man 4 movie until now.
Reports suggest Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is in early discussions to helm the film, replacing Jon Watts, who directed the previous three Tom Holland Spider-Man movies.
It’s uncertain if Marvel, Sony, and Cretton have started formal talks, though Cretton seems a fitting choice given his previous Marvel work.
Cretton was initially chosen to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty but left the project last year after it changed direction.
The film, now titled Avengers: Doomsday, will be directed by Joe and Anthony Russo.
Tom Holland is expected to return as Spider-Man in the next movie, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Holland and Zendaya have reportedly been in communication with executives and producers about the film’s development.
Sony and Marvel, as well as Holland’s representatives, have been contacted for comments.
Spider-Man movies have catapulted Holland to international fame, with the 28-year-old crediting the films for his life and career.
Earlier this year, Holland expressed his desire to continue playing Spider-Man, saying: “The simple answer is that I’ll always want to do Spider-Man films. I’ll always want to do more.”
Andrew Garfield, who reprised his role as Peter Parker in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, has addressed rumours about his return in Spider-Man 4.
Garfield recently told Indie Wire: “The internet is a big place. I think there’s a lot of people who will just say anything to get clicks. So you might have been duped, I’m afraid.”
However, Marvel fans will recall Garfield’s firm denials about his role in No Way Home before its release, leaving room for speculation.
