In August 2019, Sony Pictures stated it would not make future Spider-Man films with Marvel Studios or its president Kevin Feige after talks to renew their production deal broke down.

Tom Holland said he was in meetings about ideas and "ambitions" for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which were also paused by the strike; he was satisfied with the creative reasoning for a fourth film but wary of the stigma around fourth films, and he would return only if the character could be done justice.
