Spider-Man is poised to play a significant role in the upcoming Doomsday and Secret Wars crossovers within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This is hardly surprising, given the character’s popularity with Sony, Marvel, and audiences alike. Historically, Spider-Man has been a key member of the Avengers, serving as a pivotal plot device in Infinity War and Endgame. In those films, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker was instrumental in motivating Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) to develop “time travel,” which ultimately unlocked the multiverse and led to events in Loki.
Spider-Man’s Uncertain Future
With Peter Parker having lost everything in Spider-Man 4, anticipation is high for his next appearance in Secret Wars. An intriguing rumor from a reliable source suggests that Robert Downey Jr. will return, not as Iron Man, but as a variant of Doctor Doom from another timeline. This Doctor Doom is set to be the primary antagonist in Secret Wars, posing a threat to the entire multiverse. Adding to the intrigue is the rumor that Doctor Doom will encounter Peter Parker, potentially setting the stage for a confrontation between the two.
Conflicting Reports and Speculations
While some reports hint at RDJ’s involvement in Spider-Man 4, the film’s chronological placement in the MCU timeline remains unclear. It’s possible that Spider-Man 4 may occur before Doomsday. Leaker MyTimeToShineHello suggests that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will be the main protagonist in Avengers: Doomsday but will have a reduced role in Secret Wars. Conversely, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) are rumored to have minor roles in Doomsday but significant ones in Secret Wars.
The Return of Andrew Garfield?
Perhaps the most exciting rumor is the potential return of Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man. After his well-received appearance in No Way Home, fans are eager to see him back in the MCU. MyTime ToShine Hello claims that Garfield will have a major part in Avengers: Secret Wars, a prospect that aligns with Sony’s reported interest in featuring him in more projects. This has fueled hopes for an Amazing Spider-Man 3 and a prominent role for Garfield’s Spider-Man in the MCU’s future.
Despite Garfield’s previous denials of involvement in No Way Home, much like his initial dismissal of Secret Wars rumors, fans remain optimistic. His past behavior has created a sense of anticipation and excitement around the possibility of his return.
