HOT: Marvel Studios is reportedly considering bringing Ant-Man to make an appearance in ‘SPIDER-MAN 4’

Marvel Studios is reportedly considering bringing Ant-Man to make an appearance in ‘SPIDER-MAN 4’.

MCU Spider-Man actor Tom Holland has already acknowledged the possibility of Peter Parker and Matt Murdock teaming up, possibly in the MCU’s Spider-Man 4 or in Daredevil’s first MCU entry, Daredevil: Born Again. By Phase 5, Spider-Man’s MCU journey has reached a milestone with his bittersweet victory in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while Daredevil’s MCU journey is only beginning with his first suited-up appearance in She-Hulk: Attorney At Law. Considering that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock have already met in the MCU, a full-fledged team-up in any of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s upcoming movies is quite likely.

It’s also possible that Quantumania‘s introduction of Jonathan Majors’ Kang may boost the film’s box office performance. Kang is poised to be the next major villain of the MCU heading into Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. And that makes Quantumania more important than the two Ant-Man movies before it.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania will open on Friday, February 16. Spider-Man and Daredevil are often depicted as close friends in Marvel Comics. Their street-level conflicts usually bring them together against common foes, especially against Kingpin, who’s a Spider-Man villain as much as Daredevil’s archnemesis. Beyond their battles, Spider-Man and Daredevil know each other’s secret identities, so they also share support in difficult times and confide their personal struggles to one another. Given their history, the idea of a full-blown Spider-Man and Daredevil MCU team-up has been a popular one. In a February 2022 interview with THR, Tom Holland talks about his experience working with Charlie Cox in Spider-Man: No Way Home, expressing his interest for a future team-up.

Now, it may seem premature to start making sequel plans, especially when Marvel Studios’ first solo hero franchise to reach four movies was Thor: Love and Thunder. But the reason for those sequel discussions may be linked to Marvel’s confidence in Quantumania. It’s currently tracking for a $120 million opening weekend. By comparison, the first Ant-Man had a relatively puny $57.2 million opening weekend on its way towards $180 million domestic. Ant-Man and the Wasp did better with a $75.8 million opening, which led to $216.6 million domestic.
