Next Spider-Man Film To Follow Avengers 4
Spider-Man: Homecoming is getting a lot of news recently, and it’s not hard to see why. Critics have been singing praises for the film and its star Tom Holland, leading many to expect a big opening when it releases on July 7th. With a sequel all but guaranteed, many are wondering when and where (in the MCU timeline) it’ll take place. Well, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige talked about this (and was found by JoBlo) and revealed some interesting details:
“Civil War, Homecoming, we’ve already shot a lot of Tom Holland’s scenes in the upcoming Avengers films, and we’re just starting to solidify our plans for Homecoming 2 – we won’t call it that, whatever it is – which is exciting because it’ll be the first MCU movie after untitled Avengers in 2019. It’ll be the way Civil War informed everything in Homecoming, those movies will launch him off into a very new cinematic universe at that point. Those five movies are we’re focusing on.”
Now, if you’re wondering how the Venom and Black Cat/Silver Sable movies may fit into this, Feige was clear that at present, only Spider-Man is part of the MCU, they aren’t. However, Feige is happy that they’re doing this, and likes the casting of Tom Hardy as Venom:
“They have rights to other characters, and I think they’re being very smart in saying ‘We have to make a great Venom movie.’ They’re off to a good start hiring Tom Hardy.”
