Jacob Batalon Addresses Spider-Man 4 Future
Speaking with Collider, Spider-Man: No Way Home star Jacob Batalon expressed his thoughts on looking forward to appearing in a potential fourth MCU Spider-Man movie.
While Batalon’s Ned Leeds played a strong supporting role in the Jon Watts-directed Spider-Man trilogy, he hasn’t heard anything from either Marvel Studios or Sony regarding a Spider-Man 4. Notably, Batalon shared that while he’s open to the idea of a return in a fourth movie, he’s “not hoping for it:”
“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. But again, if it’s the right place, at the right time, with the right group of people that we’ve been with, I would say, why not? 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.”
When asked about the idea of working with a different director on more Spidey movies, Batalon went on to explain himself, stating that he, Watts and his co-stars are “not really hoping for [a fourth Spider-Man movie] to happen” since they’re all succeeding outside of the Marvel world:
“Honestly, I don’t really put too much thought into that. I feel like we’re all really moving in ways where we’re not really hoping for it to happen. Not that it’s bad, 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.”
