Tom Holland is not good at keeping secrets when it comes to hisSpider-Manprojects. He even gained a reputation for sharing too much that it became a running gag in the Marvel circle, but Holland recently shared a behind-the-scene photo that got his fans' tongues wagging.
Holland is set to return toSpider-Man 4, following the success of his three standaloneSpider-Manfilms –Spider-Man: Homecoming(2017),Spider-Man: Far From Home(2019) andSpider-Man: No Way Home(2021). Holland made his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) inCaptain America: Civil Warin 2016. He was also part of several MCU films, includingAvengers: Infinity War(2018) andAvengers: Endgame(2019). Holland recently shared a sneak peek of his recent project, which many speculated was forSpider-Mandue to his history of teasing major news about his Marvel role even before Marvel Studios made official announcements.
Holland took toInstagrama week ago and shared a mirror selfie. “Secret shoot day,” he wrote in the caption. The post received tons of comments from fans, who joked that he was finally able to keep a secret. However,many considered it a sign that he was hinting atSpider-Man 4. “I feel like Tom thinks he’s actually keeping a secret but at the same time is sayingSpider-Man 4,” one follower commented. Another user was very sure, writing, “Spider-Man 4obviously.” However, some also argued it could be for another movie since Holland is involved in several projects besides the MCU.
Earlier in September, Holland wasspottedafter attending a meeting in Los Angeles. He was sporting the same hair, which was very different from his usual hairstyle inSpider-Man. There are rumors that Sony’s Tom Rothman and Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige could not agree on how to proceed withSpider-Man 4. The latter reportedly wants to scale back the Multiverse elements, but the former prefers to continue it and bring the formerSpider-Manstars Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire following the success ofNo Way Home, where the three Spider-Man stars united on the big screen for the first time,ComicBookMovie.comreported.
Holland’s secret shoot may or may not be related toSpider-Man. After all, he is among the most sought-after actors today, having appeared in several other movies likeThe Devil All the Time(2020),Onward(2020),Cherry(2021),Chaos Walking(2021) andUncharted(2022). But it’s understandable for fans to always associate his teasers with his Marvel role becauseSpider-Manis his biggest break andHolland has a history of spoiling Marvel secrets. For instance, he announced thatSpider-Manwould be a trilogy by talking aboutSpider-Man 3before Marvel officially announced it. One of the major spoilers he did was announcing that he’s alive in a theater packed with Marvel fans who were excited about watchingAvengers: Infinity War.His statement spoiled the major plot involving Thanos snapping his fingers and killing half of the universe, including theAvengers.
