Ever sinceSpider-Man: No Way Homesmashed the box office and won over the audience oh so effortlessly, fans have been expecting the MCU to bestow them with a fourth movie as well. After all, who wouldn’t want to see Tom Holland in a spidey suit again? But there’s certainly going to be a while before that turns into reality.
Even though Marvel has reassured fans with regard to a potentialSpider-Man 4, it looks like some cast members from the third movie might not be ready to sail that boat in the first place.
Jacob Batalon’s take on the fate of a newSpider-Manmovie
In theSpider-Mantrilogy,Jacob Batalonplays the role of Ned, the friend who is nerdy but ever-ready to lend a helping hand and is always there for Peter Parker. And fans seem to love Batalon for perfectly fitting the character and killing it on screen with the role.
But it looks like Batalon himself isn’t so keen on coming back as Ned in a newSpider-Manmovie if and when it happens.

The 25-year-old addressed the same in an interview with Collider. “I feel like actors are the last people to know. I think that people assume that actors are always hiding secrets. I promise you, we don’t know anything”, he said in response to the question ofSpider-Man 4′s future.
He also mentioned that given“the right place, the right time, and the right group of people”, fans might just end up getting a new movie after all. “But other than that, whatever happens, happens.”
“Really, those decisions are up to the big bosses, the people who sign the checks. We’re open to the idea, but we’re not hoping for it”, he stated.

Jacob Batalon and his co-stars might not be open to doingSpider-Man 4
All three movies withTom Hollandas Spiderman have been directed by Jon Watts; upon being asked to share his thoughts on working with a new director instead for a possibleSpider-Man 4, Jacob Batalon said that he hadn’t“put too much thought into that.”
The actor also admitted that neither he nor his co-stars were exactly looking to do a newSpider-Manmovie, to begin with.“I feel like we’re all really moving in ways where we’re not really hoping for it to happen”, he remarked.
“Not that it’s bad“, he added.“I just feel like we’re not really anticipating another movie. I just feel like we’re all doing our own thing. But again, whatever happens, happens.”

Why a Spider-Man 4 might not be the actors’ topmost priority right now
Both Tom Holland andZendayahave been flourishing in their careers outside of the MCU with respective projects likeUnchartedandEuphoria. So, it is possible that they might choose to focus on their individual opportunities instead of coming back for a fourthSpider-Manmovie.
Holland addressed this as well in one of his interviews with GQ in November. He claimed that perhaps the time for him to move on from the role of Spider-Man wasn’t too far away.“If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”

That being said, Jacob Batalon himself has his very own series namedReginald the Vampirethat he’s got going on.
However, that doesn’t mean the movie might not happen at all. If not in the foreseeable future, maybe at a much later stage then, because that’s what Batalon said too. Neither of the actors is outright against the idea of a fourthSpider-Manmovie, they simply have other things to juggle in the present that they’d like to focus more on.
