Fans want Peter Parker to have a male love interest in the new Spider-Man movie.
Recent reports indicate that Peter Parker may have a new romantic storyline in Spider-Man 4, sparking discussions among fans about the possibility of a same-sex relationship.
Ever since the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, speculation has been growing regarding Peter Parker’s future, particularly concerning his relationship with MJ, played by Zendaya.
The previous installment ended on a heartbreaking note, with Doctor Strange casting a spell that erased Peter from everyone’s memory – including MJ’s – in order to protect the multiverse. Despite encountering MJ afterward, Peter chose to keep his identity hidden from her for her safety.
With rumors surfacing that Peter might have a new love interest in the upcoming film, many fans have expressed a desire for his character to explore a same-sex romance.
Discussions on social media gained momentum when one fan tweeted: “give him a boyfriend,” a post that quickly garnered over 200,000 likes.
Many users expressed their enthusiasm for the idea of Peter undergoing a ‘queer awakening.’
This isn’t the first time the notion has been entertained.
In a 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Andrew Garfield, who previously portrayed Peter Parker, shared his thoughts on the character’s potential to have a same-sex love interest.
He asked: “‘What if MJ is a dude?’ Why can’t we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It’s hardly even groundbreaking!… So why can’t he be gay? Why can’t he be into boys?”
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.”
Some fans even proposed a gender-swapped version of Gwen Stacy, suggesting the character could be introduced as ‘Glen Stacy.’
Although there has been no direct confirmation that Tom Holland’s version of Peter Parker is queer, fans argue there is no reason why his character couldn’t explore a new side of himself in the upcoming film.
Marvel Comics has already introduced LGBTQ+ characters within the Spider-Verse, such as Web-Weaver, a gay Spider-Man variant.
This has led some to wonder whether Web-Weaver could make an appearance in Spider-Man 4 as Peter’s new love interest.
Recent rumors suggest that despite Zendaya’s return as MJ, Peter Parker will be introduced to a new love interest.
According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Marvel Studios is planning to incorporate this change as part of Peter’s fresh start following the events of No Way Home.
Richtman reposted a fan account’s claim on X which stated: “Spider-Man 4 will reportedly introduce a new love interest for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.”
However, another industry insider, MyTimeToShineHello (MTTSH), reassured fans, responding to the rumor by stating: “Zendaya is still in it so relax.”
