Summary
A newSpider-Man 4cast rumor claims aStar Warsactor is being considered for a role opposite Tom Holland, and fans have ideas on who this performer could play in the MCU.
Spider-Man4is seemingly moving forward after years of reported disagreements between Marvel Studios and Sony over the sequel’s direction. Marvel Studios reportedly wantedSpider-Man 4to be a grounded street-level story while Sony was purportedly pushing for another Multiverse adventure potentially involving Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. As of this writing, both parties appear to have reached an agreement, withSpider-Man 4rumored to have a new supporting castas part of director Destin Daniel Cretton’s efforts to put a fresh spin on the character. Now, a newSpider-Man 4cast rumor may give fans insight into one of the potential new cast members.
TheSpider-Man 4Cast May Have Its Eyes on AStar WarsSequel Trilogy Actor
ScooperMyTimeToShineHelloclaimsMarvel Studios is considering theStar Warssequel trilogy’s Rey actress Daisy Ridley for a role inSpider-Man 4. There was no information regarding the role Ridley is allegedly being eyed to play, but fans shared their predictions or suggestions on social media.Ridley was a rumored contender to play Spider-Womanin Olivia Wilde’s then-developing film about the eponymous heroine. While that Sony project has seemingly been scrapped (there’s been no significant update on it for at least a year), some fans wonder if Ridley might play Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman as part of theSpider-Man 4supporting cast instead. Other fan-speculated choices for Ridley’s role are Felicia Hardy/Black Cat or Gwen Stacy. Of course, rumors of Ridley’s potential casting should be taken with a grain of salt.
Does Daisy Ridley Have Time To FilmStar Warsand Join TheSpider-Man 4Cast?
Ridley is set to reprise her role as Rey Skywalker in Lucasfilm’s upcomingStar Wars: New Jedi Ordermovie. Reputable scooperDaniel Richtmanreports that Ridley’s newStar Warsmovie begins filming next year, which fans have seemingly taken as a repudiation of MyTimeToShineHello’s claim that she’s being considered for aSpider-Man 4role. However,Spider-Man 4is expected to begin filming in the summer of 2025 for a July 2026 release. IfStar Wars: New Jedi Orderdoesn’t begin production until 2026, her schedule should theoretically be clear forSpider-Man 4unless the latter is significantly delayed.
Casting Ridley inSpider-Man 4isn’t a far-fetched idea. If she was considered for Wilde’s seemingly defunct Spider-Woman movie, she would already be on Sony’s radar. Plus, she’s already a member of the Disney family as aStar Warsfranchise cast member (Disney also owns Marvel). Lastly, Ridley and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland co-starred in the dystopian science-fiction filmChaos Walking, so Holland could put in a good word for her assuming their working relationship was positive.
Of course, this is purely speculation based on an unconfirmed rumor. While many fans would be thrilled to see Ridley join the MCU, others fearSpider-Man 4is taking a risk by changing the supporting cast. It’s impossible to tell if Marvel Studios and Sony’s creative decisions forSpider-Man 4will work out. At this point, however, many fans are tired of waiting and just want the film to see the light of day.
Spider-Man 4is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 08, 2025.
