On Sunday Marvel Entertainment took to social media to share a photo of a spider web in the shape of the number four with the hashtag #marvelcomics and no caption at all. Leaving fans to speculate wildly about what this could mean. On Twitter, the most reasonable speculations sounded like people believed this to be the announcement of the Fantastic Four and Spiderman crossover in the comics. While others believed that could be Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man four script turned into a graphic novel. But none of those ideas stopped fans from hoping this was a return of Toby Mcguire as Spider-Man in a fourth film.
Let us know in the comments what you think this tease from Marvel means.

So the EIC of Marvel teased that he wanted to publish a comic that would sell as well as Star Wars #1. He posted that tweet on May 3, the anniversary of Spider-Man (2002)'s release. And artist Alex Ross tweeted "#SpiderMan4" earlier tonight. Crazy!

The dream is a Spiderman 4 comic. The truth is it's probably fantastic 4 related. https://t.co/ouXSYEt1xS

I see "Spiderman 4" trending on Twitter and thought it was finally about to happen. The movie we all waited for….
Only just to be a comic.
Don't you ever scare me like that Twitter. https://t.co/2R8aoSn5T2 pic.twitter.com/mDODZ8K2mg

Never thought I’d see #SpiderMan4 trending and while I wholeheartedly DO NOT believe it’s about a 4th Tobey Maguire movie, a comic adaptation sounds phenomenal. I mean we got a comic adaptation of an early draft of an Alien 3 script, so that wouldn’t be too far-fetched. https://t.co/MCqIZnqZdn

So there I was, minding my own business when suddenly people started screaming about #SpiderMan4
And I'm like;
That makes no goddamn sense in any capacity.Turns out it's a misunderstanding of several tweets.
But now I want it.
Such is the desire for the unattainable… XD

Why is #SpiderMan4 trending? ::checks the broader internet:: Because Marvel teased a spider web in the shape of a 4. Probably Dan Slott pulling Spidey into his FF book. But it'd just be funny if next we get a 3, burning people out on speculating when it's just a countdown.
