Did Tom Holland Just Accidentally Tease A Major Spider-Man 4 Return?

:0:1

While Spider-Man 4 continues to be in development, Tom Holland has shared a major tease about it, but in the process, he also made a huge reveal about a character’s return in the next Spider-Man movie. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a turning point in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the web-slinger’s story, as it not only confirmed the Marvel Multiverse but also gave Peter Parker’s (Holland) story a major twist. With no other option left, Peter asked Doctor Strange to make everyone forget about him, and so at the end of No Way Home no one knew who Peter is.
Luckily, this won’t be the end of Peter’s adventures on the big screen, as a fourth Spider-Man movie is in development. Although details about Spider-Man 4 are scarce, the team behind it is working on the script, and Tom Holland has now read the latest draft. Speaking with Rich Roll, Holland revealed the script still needs some work, but the biggest reveal was that he read the script with Zendaya. While this could be Holland breaking the rules again and publicly talking about it, he might have teased a big Spider-Man 4 character return.
There's Really Only One Reason Tom Holland Should Be Sharing A Marvel Script With Zendaya Why Else Would Zendaya Read Spider-Man 4’s Script?

Tom Holland is no stranger to breaking Marvel’s legendary strict rules and then openly talking about it, so much so that Marvel has used this to its advantage a couple of times. However, when it comes to the script for Spider-Man 4, there’s really only one reason he should be sharing it with Zendaya, and that’s MJ returning in the next movie. Although this shouldn’t be surprising given that MJ is Peter’s love interest, the ending of No Way Home completely changed their story.
It wouldn’t make sense for Holland to read the script for Spider-Man 4 with Zendaya if she wasn’t returning as MJ.
As mentioned above, Peter decided to make Strange cast a spell that would make everyone forget about him so the gates of the multiverse could be closed, but that included losing all his loved ones. At the end of No Way Home, Peter visited the coffee shop where MJ worked and bought a coffee, and was visibly heartbroken when he was hit with the realization that she doesn’t know who he is anymore, and so he isn’t part of her life anymore.

Peter promised MJ before the spell was cast that he would return to her, and he might be keeping his promise in Spider-Man 4. It wouldn’t make sense for Holland to read the script for Spider-Man 4 with Zendaya if she wasn’t returning as MJ, but there’s even a slight possibility that he revealed a bit too much of something he wasn’t supposed to do.
How Could MJ Return In Spider-Man 4? There Are A Couple Of Ways In Which MJ Can Return

At this point, anything can happen in the MCU, so MJ’s return is definitely possible. There are many theories on how Peter could reverse the spell or find some way around it that allows him to reunite with his loved ones, mostly MJ and Ned (Jacob Batalon). If that’s part of the story of Spider-Man 4, then MJ’s return can be explained by her memories being restored and her and Peter getting back together.

3 Another possibility is that MJ will be in trouble in Spider-Man 4, leading the web-slinger to help and rescue her, even if she doesn’t know who’s behind the mask. It could also be possible that Peter has found a way to get close to MJ again, like a “fresh” start, as he would have to introduce himself again and win her over, but Spider-Man 4 could also play a bit more with the multiverse. Spider-Man could end up in another part of the multiverse and meet an MJ variant, allowing Zendaya to return but as another version of her character.
