Tom Holland may have stolen our hearts as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s resident Peter Parker back when Captain America: Civil War (2016) first debuted, but he’s not the only spider out there!
If there’s anything Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2022) have proven, it’s that there’s a ton of Spider-folk to go around, and audiences love every last one of them.

It’s also worth mentioning that the post-credits scene for No Way Home all but confirmed Venom’s arrival into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. So, that begs the question: who’s next? Well, Spider-Woman is. Or at least, she very well may be.

So, it’ll be no surprise if upcoming films such as Kraven the Hunter and Madame Web also leave Peter Parker out of the story. But that doesn’t mean there will be no Spider-folk whatsoever…

After all, Tom Holland has shown waning interest in playing the beloved wall-crawler, moving on to darker roles such as Danny Sullivan in The Crowded Room (2023).
Could Sydney Sweeney take his place as our resident spidery superhero? At this point, this is purely speculation, but it’s worth noting that the stars could easily align and make this happen.
