The anticipation for ‘Spider-Man 4’ is remarkable despite the film not being officially confirmed. A lot of rumors are circulating about the film’s potential storyline and fans are expecting an adventure
However, there’s also a growing consensus that a grounded approach would be the most refreshing and rewarding direction for the franchise.

‘Spider-Man 4’ Might Benefit By Breaking Free From The Symbiote Saga And Black Cat
While the Symbiote saga and Black Cat are popular choices among fans, it’s time for the franchise to look over these storylines. Additionally, these storylines have been explored multiple times in the comics and on screen. So, revisiting them would feel like a retread.
Instead, Marvel should focus on crafting an original narrative that builds upon the strengths of the previous films. The grounded approach taken in ‘Homecoming’ and ‘Far From Home’ resonated with audiences. Additionally, the story building in these two films resulted in the success of ‘No Way Home‘.
While the shock factor around ‘No Way Home‘ was a big factor in the film’s success, fans were more excited about the forwarding of the film series. Additionally, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man are always welcome. However, overreliance on nostalgia can lead to a stale and predictable experience.

Kingpin’s Return And A Daredevil Connection Might Be A Possibility In ‘Spider-Man 4’
One storyline that could offer a grounded and compelling direction for ‘Spider-Man 4’ is a connection to ‘Daredevil: Born Again’. If Kingpin remains the main villain, it would be a natural progression for Spider-Man to cross paths with Daredevil and his supporting cast.
Additionally, this would not only provide opportunities for exciting team-ups but also deepen the interconnectedness of the MCU. Moreover, the villains in the ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy, Vulture and Mysterio, were both unique and engaging takes on classic comic book characters.
For the upcoming film, Marvel should continue this trend by introducing a new villain. A grounded villain who is a formidable opponent on a personal and thematic level could elevate the film and provide a memorable antagonist. Additionally, By avoiding retreads and focusing on character development and compelling narratives, Marvel can deliver a film that truly lives up to its legacy.
