The upcoming Spider-Man 4 may feature a shocking death that fans would not be ready for in the MCU, according to a new report.
What MCU death might appear in Spider-Man 4?
In a new post on X, insider MyTimeToShine reacted to various rumors surrounding Brand New Day. Specifically, these new rumors suggest that Spider-Man will die in the upcoming movie. Whgile the rumors themselves don’t suggest how, MyTimeToShine notes that they point to the iconic comic storyline Kraven’s Last Hunt.
In the comic run, Kraven captures Spider-Man, buries him alive, and then pretends to be Spider-Man for a few weeks. While it’s unlikely this will happen just like in the comics, the thought that Spider-Man could “die” for some time in the movie and then show up later is possible. Some fans have also suggested that, due to rumors surrounding the Hulk being a more angry figure in the movie, the two could fight to the death in the film.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously helmed the MCU film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which was released in 2021. Cretton was also attached to direct the fourth Avengers movie for a time, back when it was called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but stepped down from the position in November 2023.
The movie will once again be led by Tom Holland as he reprises his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Emmy winner Zendaya and Jacob Batalo are also expected to return for the sequel. They will be joined by cast members Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Jon Bernthal, and Tillman, among others. The movie is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, and Avi Arad.
Spider-Man 4 will be released in U.S. theaters on July 31, 2026, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027).
