New rumors about the casting and storyline of Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man 4 have popped up online. People are speculating on social media that the main female character and the main villain may have already been cast, but Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything yet. There’s also chatter about Daredevil possibly making an appearance, although this might be connected to his role in an upcoming animated series rather than in the live-action movie.
A source, @MyTimeToShineH, mentioned that major casting news is on the way. This lines up with comments from Alex Perez, who hinted at the movie’s working title, Blue Oasis. This title is thought to reference the Spider-Man: Blue storyline, which focuses on Peter Parker’s relationship with Gwen Stacy. This could mean that Gwen Stacy will be the female lead in Spider-Man 4.

Bringing Gwen Stacy into the story would be important, especially considering changes to MJ’s character in the previous films. A new love interest for Peter Parker would fit well with the story they’re trying to tell. The rumored casting also suggests the filmmakers might change Gwen’s tragic fate from earlier stories, including The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, has said he’s excited about the script for Spider-Man 4, calling it a film that fans will respect. However, he noted there are still some issues to sort out before filming can begin. Holland stressed that the movie needs to fit well within the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe and must be a high-quality film that stays true to the story.
He also mentioned how important the studio’s involvement and teamwork are in this process. Spider-Man 4 is currently set to be released on July 26, 2026, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with a script from Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. While many fans are speculating about the casting and plot, we’ll have to wait for official announcements from Marvel Studios to get the real news. Nonetheless, these rumors suggest some big changes could be coming for Spider-Man in the MCU, and more updates are expected soon.
