'Spider-Man: No Way Home' has now opened the doors to the multiverse, and murmurs of a potential fourth web-slinger movie is already doing the rounds. The movie's ending does hint at what Peter Parker's (Tom Holland) future in Marvel is.

The superhero who went on to become an Avenger was first seen in 'Captain America: Civil War' and eventually reprised his role in the two final 'Avengers' movies and two standalone films— 'Homecoming' and 'Far From Home. And as Marvel continues to churn out more Phase 4 content, we take a look at the major theories surrounding 'Spider-Man 4'.

Will Tom Holland's Peter Parker return as Spider-Man?

Quite recently it was revealed that Holland wanted a break from acting and focus on his personal life. Should that be the case, then this just might have been the last time we would have seen the English actor suit up as the friendly neighborhood superhero. If not, then there is definitely a good chance that he will reprise his role in the MCU.

Then comes Sony's Amy Pascal's comments as he spoke about plans for more Spider-Man content in an interview with Fandango: "This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie. We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We're thinking of this as three films, and now we're going to go on to the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies." However, she has walked those comments back, suggesting that if it was up to her, Sony and Marvel Studios' partnership will move ahead and see if there can be another movie.

Will there be a Venom x Spider-Man crossover?

Trick question: Since Sony has the right for Venom, will it be possible for a crossover in the first place? Unless Marvel and Sony figure out a deal to get both the heroes in one screen (they did tease that in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and 'Venom: Let there be Carnage', there's a pretty good chance that the mid-credits scene in 'No Way Home' will probably see the two characters together.

Miles Morales and Peter Parker in one movie?

It's the multiverse that's being discussed and there are more Spider-Men (and women) out there. 'Into The Spider-Verse' established that fact and perhaps the MCU could try and bring Morales in the MCU. The animated version of the character was the key protagonist in Sony's 2018 animated flick and will be back in the sequel as well, but if there is one way Marvel can top the third movie, it's by bringing in Morales.

What are your thoughts on what 'Spider-Man 4' would be?
