Spider-Man 4 has been in discussion following the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Primarily, the concern was the storyline as the third installment of the trilogy ended on a glorious note. However, a report has spilled some beans about the potential character arc of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man which also followed Tobey Maguire’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
New Report Revealed Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Story Arc

The first trilogy of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man was “all about establishing his origin in the MCU,” said industry insider, Alex Perez in a Discord Q&A. In Homecoming, “Peter wanted to prove himself to be an Avenger alongside Tony but realized that being the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man was better for him,” he added. Following the events of his appearances in MCU movies over the years pushed him to the stage where he struggles with his identity as Peter Parker as the revelation of it has had severe consequences for the ones close to him.
SUGGESTED: New Spider-Man Report Is A Threat To Tom Holland’s Peter Parker
“In his mind, Peter Parker is no more… but Spider-Man lives on. Since he has either lost or detached himself from everyone he’s ever loved, all he has to keep him going is being Spider-Man, whether the city loves him for it or not. As the title of Spider-Man continues to consume Peter’s life little by little, Peter Parker will take a back seat and continue to fade from existence slowly.”
Now, the world, or in fact, the universe doesn’t recognize Peter Parker as Spider-Man. So, Doctor Strange’s spell on his may create a new opportunity to more with the character slightly detaching him from the continuation of previous movies in his franchise.
Fans Are Proposing An Interesting Hypothesis

While the Spider-Man 4 storyline or character arc is in discussion, fans have proposed one hypothesis that the MCU might just adopt for the character. As Tobey Maguire wore a Black Symbiote suit in Spider-Man 3, it altered his character to a certain degree. Fans have proposed that a Symbiote suit would be fitting to the upcoming narrative.

Honestly a Symbiote Suit Trilogy would be banger.
Make Peter *work* for getting his loved ones back and working through the split between Peter and Spiderman.

Tom Holland symbiote arc will feed families

As it should be, storyline wise. Otherwise the ending of No Way Home would’ve been pointless. Matter fact, get him that symbiote suit!

They're gonna run this symbiote arc into the ground like we haven't seen this shit reiterated 100s of times 💀💀

Of course, Holland’s Spider-Man appeared briefly in the post-credit scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage. In this regard, the crossover would make total sense to extend the Spider-Man universe. As of now, Spider-Man 4 is reportedly in development and the studio has not locked a release date.
