Summary
Spider-Manhas linked up with various other characters since being introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.From Iron Man to Dr Strange, Tom Holland’s version of the popular webslinger is no stranger to working side by side with another Marvel character,and while more partnerships have already been confirmed, Marvel Studios might be working on another for further down the line.
Marvel fans are always looking for fun partnerships between different characters, given the impact they can have, andSpider-Man: Brand New Dayis set to feature plenty of them. However, Marvel Studios’ President Kevin Feige has already teased that more is to come.
This version of Spider-Man has worked with lots of different characters, but one of the most popular from the Marvel comics has yet to happen.That is the combination of Spider-Man and The Human Torch. However, that might be about to change afterThe Fantastic Four: First Stepsintroduces the four heroes to the MCU, including Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, setting up the possibility of that partnership taking place for the first time. Feige directly spoke about that idea toCBR, giving an answer that is sure to excite superhero fans.
That’s one of the key relationships in Marvel Comics: Johnny Storm and Peter Parker. And we’ve never been able to come close to it before. And now it is in the realm of possibility. That’s exciting.
Spider-Manfans are already gearing up to see the unlikelyduo of Peter Parker and The Punishertogether, which is set to take place inSpider-Man: Brand New Day.That movie is also going to feature The Hulk in some capacity, although it’s unknown whether he will be playing a hero or a villain at this stage. However, Marvel Studios is certainly introducing a large number of characters into the upcoming movie to drum up as much interest as possible.
Given how many characters are already involved inSpider-Man: Brand New Day, it’s likely that people will have to wait a little longer to see Spider-Man and The Human Torch together on-screen. However, it’s a positive sign that Marvel is aware of how popular that partnership is among fans, as they often look to listen to the audience and provide moments from the comics that people will enjoy.Currently, the focus is on introducing the Fantastic Four in their MCU debuts, with the hope that audiences will accept them as a group, allowing them to move forward in future movies.
The Fantastic Four: First Stepshas received positive reviews from critics, a promising start for the upcoming movie. However, the true litmus test will be when the general public can see it. Regardless of the response, the Fantastic Four will be part ofAvengers: Doomsday, which will likely feature them working alongside various other heroes from the franchise. Unfortunately, at this point,Holland isn’t part of that cast, which means Spider-Man and The Human Torch might now cross paths in that one, either. AlthoughAvengers: Secret Warsis also around the corner, that might have more involvement fromSpider-Man, possibly setting up a time for them to share the screen.
