The internet is ablaze with rumors as fans prepare for the possible release of the eagerly awaited Spider-Man 4, most of which are, let's face it, most likely untrue. Everyone's favorite web-slinger has been pushed into the rumor mill by pre-Christmas talk, which has included everything from crazy casting predictions to ridiculous narrative twists.
At the heart of it, all is a mixture of well-known figures, associated with the franchise, such as Sydney Sweeney and Anya Taylor-Joy, along with rumors of utterly surprising cameos. However, fans are handling these rumors with a good amount of humor and skepticism, posting their own opinions on what might be the most chaotic Spider-Man film ever shot on social media.
The internet meme festival demonstrates that, regardless of the situation, Spidey fans will always have something to say—and laugh about, whether it's the suggestion of a Ghost Rider crossover or grievances over cherished characters perhaps being left out.
Fans poke fun at Spider-Man 4 speculation as rumors about casting and plot twists run wild
Hilarious fan reactions to the Spider-Man 4 rumors
One of the most frequent reactions to these rumors has been a collective eyebrow raise, followed quickly by memes and witty retorts. A popular tweet summed up the mood perfectly,
"More random ass Spider-Man 4 rumors that probably aren’t true." But that didn’t stop the rumor mill from churning.
Fans were quick to jump on one of the wilder casting rumors circulating online: Anya Taylor-Joy being eyed to play Felicia Hardy (aka Black Cat). One tweet captured the buzz,
“According to rumors, Anya Taylor-Joy is being eyed by Sony to play #SpiderMan character Felicia Hardy/Black Cat."
But while some fans were cautiously optimistic, others took a different stance.
“Cancel Spider-Man 4, there’s no point if Zendaya isn’t in it,”
One tweet declared, showing how attached people have become to her portrayal of MJ.
Another casting rumor involved Sydney Sweeney. After reports suggested she was in talks for a “big role” in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, one fan responded with,
"Black Cat in Spider-Man 4 🕷️,” stoking excitement about possible character appearances.
But it wasn’t just casting that had fans in a frenzy. Theories about potential plotlines were just as wild. One fan offered up a "crazy idea," tweeting,
“Spider-Man 4 should be a Toby and Andrew lead movie with black suit Tom's Spider-Man as the villain.”
And if that wasn’t enough, someone else questioned whether the movie would go completely off the rails by bringing in supernatural elements, saying
“Ghost Rider in Spider-Man 4 instead of a regular street-level movie with Daredevil???”
All of this speculation shows that fans are just as creative (and chaotic) as the writers of the MCU themselves. But while many are treating the rumors as fun conversation starters, others are ready to hit the pause button. One tweet captured the exasperation,
“Saw those Spider-Man 4 rumors what are we doing man…”
