A major topic of discussion has been his love life, particularly his relationship with MJ, played by Zendaya.
The last movie left things on an emotional cliffhanger. To protect the multiverse, Doctor Strange cast a spell that wiped Peter from everyone’s memory—including MJ’s.
Though he later saw her again, Peter ultimately chose not to reveal who he was, leaving their future uncertain.
Some fans have taken this as an opportunity to campaign for a same-sex love interest.
The conversation gained traction when a fan tweeted: “Give him a boyfriend,”, a post that quickly racked up over 200,000 likes.
Another chimed in, saying: “The multiverse is open. Somewhere out there, Peter Parker has a boyfriend.”
This isn’t the first time the topic has been brought up. Andrew Garfield, who played Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man films, previously voiced support for the idea of a same-sex romance for his character.
In a 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Garfield posed a question that has since been widely discussed among fans.
Referencing Garfield’s past comments, one fan remarked: “Andrew tried to get his Peter a boyfriend, and I’m sure it’s one of the reasons he didn’t get to finish his trilogy.”
Another added: “The multiverse is open. Somewhere out there, Peter Parker has a boyfriend.”
Although there’s no official confirmation that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker will explore a same-sex relationship, fans argue that there’s no reason why he couldn’t.
After all, the multiverse opens up endless possibilities.
Marvel Comics has already introduced LGBTQ+ characters in the Spider-Verse, such as Web-Weaver, a gay Spider-Man variant.
This has led some to speculate whether Web-Weaver could appear in Spider-Man 4 as Peter’s new romantic partner.
According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is reportedly planning a shift in Peter’s storyline following the events of No Way Home.
A new love interest could be part of this fresh start.
However, another industry insider, MyTimeToShineHello (MTTSH), reassured fans by responding: “Zendaya is still in it so relax.”
