Spider-Man: No Way Home left fans wondering about the fate of characters like MJ and Ned Leeds. Recent rumors suggest Zendaya’s return in Spider-Man 4, prompting questions about Jacob Batalon’s involvement. While Batalon expressed his interest in reprising his role as Ned, he revealed he hasn’t received any calls about it yet.
“I mean, I would hope so,” Batalon told The Direct.
“I think just with anyone who’s worked for Marvel knows that you kind of just like wait for a call. Maybe it does [happen], maybe it doesn’t. But it’s something that you definitely can’t hope and wait for. You just like, you will wake up one day to a call at like 4:30 in the morning for no reason. You know, so maybe.”
Speculation aside, Batalon might not be able to confirm any involvement in Spider-Man 4 due to Marvel’s ongoing director search for Tom Holland’s next trilogy. With the project still in its early stages, contacting Batalon might not be a top priority for the studio.
As for the release of Spider-Man 4, details remain scarce. Tom Holland hinted at involvement in the story’s creation, but no updates on production progress have been provided. Rumors suggest filming might begin in the fall, aiming for a late 2025 release.
However, potential directors like Drew Goddard and Justin Lin have other commitments, possibly delaying Spider-Man 4’s production.
