“Everyone is wrong about Spider-Man 4”: Will Tom Holland be Fighting Knull? New Update Seemingly Confirms a Longstanding Rumor

Fans have been theorizing about the possible initiation of Knull in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 movie. But an inside source refuted that speculation.

Ever since Tom Holland confirmed the news of the Spider-Man 4 movie being in the works, fans have been thrilled. Rumors and speculations about the possible storyline for the upcoming film have kept the fandom awake.

One persistent rumor involved the introduction of Knull into the MCU, with fans speculating if he could be the new antagonist for the next movie. However, a supposed inside source has laid rest to that particular rumor, much to the relief of fans who did not want that plotline to come true.

New update for Spider-Man 4?

According to Digital Spy, the Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton is going to be in charge of the direction for a new Marvel project. Spider-Man 4 will be handled by the talented filmmaker and is scheduled to be released in July 2026.

Reports also confirmed that both Tom Holland and Zendaya would be reprising their respective roles for the upcoming movie. The actor also spoke about the film’s thrilling plotline during his appearance on Good Morning America.

The idea is crazy. It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.

Ever since the reveal, fans have been going berserk with possible storylines which led to the rise of multiple rumors. One speculation that a lot of Marvel fans dreaded was the addition of a popular antagonist to the Marvel Spider-Man franchise.

Online rumors gave flame to the fire of a possible Knull introduction in the new movie. The theory had fans divided, some were excited about the amalgamation while others, not so much. However, one online post gave people a much-needed breather.

The rumor mills are churning: No Knull, maybe

A comment on the social media site X claimed that a trustworthy source denied popular speculations about the next Spider-Man movie. This comment gave rise to speculations that maybe the rumor of Knull’s role in the upcoming movie was false.

Comments on the post reflected fans’ opinions about the possible theory, mostly thankful about the rejection of the speculation. Though Sony teased about their plans for the Symbiotic god, it is possible he won’t be a part of the MCU anytime soon.

The character, voiced by Andy Serkis, appeared in Venom: The Last Dance, which raised the stakes for Eddie Brock (played by Tom Hardy) and Venom. Although a lot of his backstory has not been explored yet, it is possible the ancient being could become an antagonist for Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

The character does possess multiverse connections according to the comics, which led to the speculations of his involvement with Marvel’s Spider-Man. However, until official news is released about the same, fans can only look for these insider sources and their alleged claims.

Venom: The Last Dance is currently available in theatres near you.
