MCU’s Spider-Man 3 Movie Title Rumored To Be Homesick

A new rumor indicates Spider-Man: Homesick is the title of Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Last year, there was a time when it looked like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man would be exiting the MCU due to Marvel’s parent company Disney and Sony failing to strike a new deal to share the superhero. However, their disagreement over the deal was resolved and it was announced Spider-Man would remain in the MCU for the time being. At that time, Marvel and Sony officially announced Holland would return as Peter Parker in the untitled Spider-Man 3 and another team-up movie akin to his Avengers appearances.

In terms of Spider-Man 3, the film was originally intended to start filming this summer for a 2021 release date. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, though, filming was delayed. The Marvel movie is expected to start production later this year, after Holland wraps filming on Sony’s Uncharted movie. The Spider-Man: Far From Home followup was originally intended to hit theaters in July 2021, but earlier this summer it was announced Spider-Man 3 was delayed to December 2021. Now, new rumors point to the potential title of Spider-Man 3, which is one of the few confirmed MCU movies without an official title as of this writing.

Today, Murphy’s Multiverse reports that Marvel and Sony’s third Spider-Man movie will be titled Spider-Man: Homesick. As Charles Murphy points out, the film has been called Spider-Man: Homesick by Esquire and Maxim on the magazines’ websites. Murphy goes on to report that sets for the movie are being constructed in Atlanta, Georgia – where many Marvel Studios projects shoot – and it’s being referred to as Homesick. As of yet, neither Marvel nor Sony have confirmed whether Spider-Man: Homesick is the film’s official title.

It’s possible that Esquire and Maxim are using the Spider-Man: Homesick title as a placeholder until an official name for the movie is announced. After all, Spider-Man 3 was already used by director Sam Raimi with his 2007 film, so using Spider-Man: Homesick as a placeholder would avoid confusion. As Murphy points out, though, MCU movie titles have leaked in the past, with Avengers: Endgame being accidentally revealed by a composer who put it on their resume. Still, the Homesick title being used on set does offer added credence to the rumor. It’s possible Homesick could be the working title, since working titles are often used to keep project details under wraps, but that would mean the Spider-Man 3 working title is different to what was originally reported: Serenity Now.

Although there’s some evidence pointing to Spider-Man: Homesick being the title of Holland’s next Spidey movie, we won’t know for sure until Marvel Studios and/or Sony confirm it. It’s also possible Holland could confirm the title in his own way – if he knows it. The actor has gained a reputation for accidentally leaking or spoiling his MCU movies. In fact, Marvel Studios has used that reputation smartly in the past, having the actor “leak” posters or titles in clever social marketing. Perhaps they’ll go the same route this time and have Holland confirm Spider-Man: Homesick as the title. Or, they’ll wait and reveal the title later on. If Spider-Man: Homesick isn’t the title, it’s unclear when the actual name of Marvel’s Spider-Man 3 will be confirmed.
