Spider-Man 4 gets a title and it refers to Knull confirming a lot of rumours if it happens to be true?

Spider-Man 4 is probably one of the top most anticipated movies of the decade and now rumors say that there is a title in place.

Spider-Man 4 Gets A Knull-Themed Title?

It's now common knowledge that a new Spider-Man trilogy is being built within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with Tom Holland reprising his role as Peter Parker for Spider-Man 4. Destin Daniel Cretton is reportedly set to direct the film. Fans have been closely following every update about Holland’s fourth standalone Spider-Man movie. We've already heard a lot, and these rumors might leave some fans feeling overwhelmed by the tsunami of details. While there has been buzz about Andrew Garfield’s potential return as Peter Parker in the MCU, a new rumor now claims that Spider-Man 4 has found a title—and it confirms Knull as the movie's big villain.

Spider-Man 4 Gets a Title?

For the unversed, Spider-Man 4 is being shaped by Shang-Chi and The Legend Of The Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton, which indicates that the franchise is headed in a new direction. The theme of the previous Spider-Man trilogy starring Tom Holland has centered around "Home" but it appears that with a new filmmaker, a new tone will follow. As we move forward, a title has surfaced that references the villain, and with Avengers: Doomsday confirmed, it doesn’t seem far-fetched that Marvel Studios would place more emphasis on its villains now.

According to the scooper Cryptic HD Quality, who has shared some reliable updates in the past, the new Tom Holland movie will be titled Spider-Man: King in Black. Yes, you read that right. "Take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve heard the next Spider-Man movie might be titled Spider-Man: King in Black” reads the post on X (formerly Twitter). If you're having trouble processing this, King in Black refers to Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, who will be making his live-action debut in Venom: The Last Dance.

What Do the Rumors Say?

Rumors have already claimed that after Knull makes his debut in Venom: The Last Dance he will seep into Spider-Man 4 and become the villain in the Tom Holland-led movie. The fact that Knull is a powerful multiversal villain suggests that he will not be limited to just one film. There are also rumors that this storyline will pave the way for Tom Hardy to join Tom Holland in defeating Knull in the fourth Spider-Man film. However, with Tom Hardy confirming that The Last Dance is his final Venom movie, the situation now stands on uncertain ground.

Meanwhile, it's important not to take these title rumors too seriously, as studios often change film titles multiple times before their final release. For example, Agatha: Coven of Chaos went through several title changes, and Captain America: Brave New World received its new title long after the original title was already marketed. So, if Spider-Man: King in Black vanishes before the movie hits the screen, it shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Spider-Man 4 is expected to begin filming in mid-2025 and is slated for release in July 2026. Stay tuned to OTTplay for more updates on this and everything else from the world of streaming and films.
