Holland's remarks align with earlier statements made by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who confirmed the locked-in story for Holland's next solo Spider-Man adventure. It seems Marvel Studios has successfully convinced Holland that there is a valid reason for Spider-Man 4 to exist. However, Feige also mentioned that the screenplay for the fourth film is still in progress, which coincides with Holland's understanding of the situation.

While fans eagerly await official confirmation of Spider-Man 4, it is important to note that Marvel has an extensive lineup of upcoming TV shows and movies for the next two phases. Furthermore, Disney's recent schedule reshuffle, announced in June, has pushed back the release of the final Phase 6 film, Avengers: Secret Wars, to May 7, 2027, causing further speculation and anticipation among audiences.

Holland's potential departure from the Spider-Man franchise would undoubtedly be a significant development for fans who have grown to love his portrayal of the web-slinging superhero. However, it remains to be seen whether Holland will ultimately choose to continue his journey as Spider-Man or embrace new opportunities outside the franchise.
