First, Marvel's 2021 slate is already pretty crowded. Previously announced to be on tap for that year are Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings on February 12, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on May 7, and Thor: Love and Thunder on November 5. If Spidey 3's release date holds up, it would mark the first time Marvel has released four MCU pictures in the same year, which even the most hardcore fans might see as crowding the market. And that's before we even get to that year's MCU Disney+ output.
Also, that summer will see the release of another very, very highly anticipated superhero film: Matt Reeves' The Batman, which hits screens on June 25. The Robert Pattinson-starring flick will be the first Batman solo film in nearly a decade. While Marvel has every reason to be confident in the web-slinger's ability to kill it at the box office, there would be no shame in rethinking putting him up against the Dark Knight.
Of course, we can and will speculate. Sony continues to develop its Spidey-related properties independently of Marvel Studios. At the moment, those include Venom 2, Morbius, and Kraven the Hunter.
#TomHolland seems genuinely enthusiastic about his latest turn as Spider-Man, which shouldn't be a surprise to anyone who has heard him talk about the role. Holland has previously said he believes Spider-Man belongs in the MCU, something that has been echoed by fans everywhere.
I can’t wait for the next movie for that reason, but it’s also exciting because of a rumor that has been circulating. Talk around the internet has people saying that Daredevil will be part of the next film. That’s right, Charlie Cox, who plays lawyer Matt Murdock by day and Daredevil by night on the Netflix series Daredevil, is rumored to have a part in Spider-Man 3.
