At present, there is one rumor that claims Marvel and Sony have announced that they have teamed up with Tobey Maguire for Spider-Man 4. The rumor was spread by a Facebook entertainment page named YODA BBY ABY.

However, fans should note that this is not true. The page where this information was posted is infamous for posting satirical news, and its description reads:

"I'm just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news."

In reality, the fourth installment of the Spider-Man film to be released will star Tom Holland - who has featured in the previous three films of the series - as confirmed by Holland himself on the October 23, 2024 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
