As per GamesRadar, while talking to Metro Entertainment in a recent press meet, producer of Spider-Man movies Amy Pascal addressed the rumors of Anya Taylor-Joy being considered in Marvel. She told the outlet, “She would be fantastic, she’s amazing, we’re not quite at that stage yet.” Pascal kept quiet about further details on the female characters in Spider-Man 4 and added, “There’s a lot of fantastic female characters, but I can’t talk about all this, I can’t tell you everything.”
Numerous rumors have already spread online about the film. As previously reported by SuperHeroHype, industry insider Jeff Sneider previously stated that rumors are going around that Zendaya, who plays MJ in the Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, might have a reduced role in Spider-Man 4.
