How The MCU's Timeline Makes Spider-Man's Reveal So Much Worse

It Connects To Devastating Events

Not even a year ed between Iron Man's death and Spider-Man's identity being revealed. Peter Parker really goes from problem to problem in the MCU, with a few bouts of reprieve in between.

Holland's next appearance in the role could come either in Spider-Man 4 or Avengers 5, both of which will once again present major challenges for Spider-Man, showing just how lower he can get.
