Josh O’Connor In Talks To Replace Tom Holland To Be Marvel’s Next Spider-Man

The Spider-Man universe has been buzzing with exciting news and unexpected twists. Recent reports have sent shockwaves through the fandom, suggesting a potential change in the iconic role of Peter Parker.

Rumors suggest Josh O’Connor is potentially joining the Spider-Man franchise as the web-slinger. While the chances of him replacing Tom Holland are low, he might be a different version of the superhero.

According to industry insider MyTimeToShine, Josh O’Connor, known for his acclaimed roles in ‘The Crown’ and ‘God’s Own Country’, is in talks to take over the mantle of Spider-Man from Tom Holland. This news has left many fans bewildered, even though Tom Holland himself had confirmed ‘Spider-Man 4’.

The initial rumor suggested that O’Connor would be playing MJ’s new love interest, Paul. However, now the insider claims that he will have a much more significant role. It’s also important to approach these rumors with a degree of caution. While MyTimeToShine has a track record of accurate scoops, official confirmation from Marvel Studios is still awaited.

It’s worth noting that Holland has signed a multi-picture deal with Marvel. So, the chances of him being replaced by Josh are low. It might be possible that the studio is considering a multiversal approach. As for Sam, his future in the MCU remains uncertain. While there have been speculations about his appearance everything is uncertain. 

New Reports Suggest ‘Spider-Man 4’s Release Will Be Delayed

Marvel fans might need to brace themselves for a longer-than-expected wait for ‘Spider-Man 4′ if recent insider reports are accurate. According to Viewer Anon, the next installment of the web-slinger’s story is likely to be delayed until December 2026.

Initially slated for a July 24, 2026 release, the film is now rumored to shift to the holiday season. The reports suggest this move makes strategic sense, given the unprecedented success of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home‘ during the same time frame. 

Moreover, The Hot Mic podcast recently reported that production on ‘Spider-Man 4‘, originally expected to begin in mid-2024, has been pushed back to late 2025. If accurate, this timeline would leave less than six months to shoot, edit, and finalize the movie for a summer 2026 release. So, it’ll be pretty much impossible to meet the July release date.
