In January, it was reported that Sony wants two huge actors in “Spider-Man 4,” but Marvel Studios has other ideas that don’t align with that vision. Following the success of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” the former wants Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire to join Tom Holland as their respective versions of the friendly neighborhood superhero. Marvel, meanwhile, would like a more grounded movie that eschews multiversal madness in favor of returning to Spidey’s roots in the New York City suburbs.

However, the multiverse could factor into “Spider-Man 4” after all. The Daniel Richtman report states that the fourth installment may include Miles Morales. Additionally, Nicolas Cage is reportedly in talks to play Spider-Man Noir, a character he voiced in Sony’s animated feature “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”

The possible inclusion of multiple iterations of the titular superhero implies that “Spider-Man 4” will be ambitious and massive in scope instead of the street-level blockbuster that Feige is believed to want. However, it’s still too early to tell what’s happening, as neither party has announced official updates.
