What is Spider-Man 4 about?

The timing of Tom Holland's confirmation is likely to raise eyebrows among Marvel fans Spider Man 4 as Sony Pictures will release Venom: The Last Dance hits theaters this week. While there hasn't been a meeting between Holland's Spider-Man and Tom Hardy's Venom to date (although he's dying to see one), rumors of a crossover have been circulating for years.

There is also the ongoing threat of the King in Black himself, Knull, whose appearance has been confirmed The Last Dancebut whose appearance may be just the beginning of his appearances on the big screen. Considering Knull's multiversal powers and the fact that part of Venom's symbiote was left behind in the MCU during this Spider-Man: No Way HomeMaybe Venom and Spider-Man will have to team up to defeat Knull on the big screen after all.
