The future of the Spider-Verse is one of the most hotly debated topics in pop culture. While Tom Holland's next steps are concrete, the potential returns of his predecessors are fueling massive fan speculation and topical authority within the Marvel community.

Tom Holland and *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* (2026)

The biggest news in the web-slinger world is the development of *Spider-Man 4*, which is reportedly titled *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* and is slated for a 2026 release. Tom Holland confirmed that filming is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2025. This new chapter is expected to deal with the aftermath of *No Way Home*, where Peter Parker is completely isolated and must build a new life from scratch, a narrative deeply rooted in the original comic book storyline of the same name. Intriguingly, Holland has mentioned that the new Spider-Man suit will feature subtle nods and pay homage to the costumes worn by both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, ensuring the legacy of the three Peters remains intertwined in the MCU. Beyond his solo film, Holland's Peter Parker is also expected to play a significant role in the upcoming ensemble film, *Avengers: Doomsday*, which is scheduled for 2026.

The Return of Peter 2 (Tobey Maguire)

The appetite for Tobey Maguire’s return, affectionately dubbed "Peter 2" by fans, is immense. While his non-superhero filmography has been less prolific recently, the rumors surrounding his involvement in future MCU projects are persistent and exciting. The strongest speculation points to Maguire’s Spider-Man appearing in *Avengers: Doomsday* (2026). His return would align with the Multiverse Saga's overarching narrative, potentially bringing in a veteran Spider-Man to help the new generation face a multiversal threat like Kang or Doctor Doom. Furthermore, there are constant fan-driven discussions and viral videos about a potential *Spider-Man 4* for the Sam Raimi continuity, often featuring Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, a concept that continues to live on in fan communities.

The Call for *The Amazing Spider-Man 3* (Andrew Garfield)

Andrew Garfield's performance in *No Way Home* was a critical and fan favorite, leading to an overwhelming demand for a third installment of *The Amazing Spider-Man* franchise, often referred to as *TASM 3*. While Sony and Marvel have not officially announced the project, the constant fan campaigns show no signs of slowing down. Garfield himself has often expressed his deep connection to the character and his willingness to return if the story felt right. The emotional arc of his Peter Parker—one who had lost his Gwen Stacy—resonated deeply, leaving a compelling narrative thread open for future exploration, which many hope could be resolved in a solo film or another Multiverse team-up.
