Ahead of Friday’s Marvel panel at the Disney D23 Expo, Kevin Feige has been spotted possibly teasing a Spider-Man connection to the Fantastic Four movie.
Marvel promoted the Fantastic Four big at Comic-Con, and now Kevin Feige is seen wearing a Spider-Man hat at D23 that features a circular logo.
The logo has the regular Spider-Man costume/mask on the right, but on the left is Spider-Man in white.
A fan posted the following on X:
Definitely the most magical moment of my time in Disneyland: Meeting Kevin Feige! Glad I stuck around the park past my bedtime. 😄 pic.twitter.com/9ybsdetaC0

Update: The hat looks to be for the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated series. The following art was revealed at D23 where the black and white Spider-Man suit can be seen:
What could the white Spider-Man costume mean?
Marvel is banking big on the Fantastic Four movie, so maybe the hat means Tom Holland and Spider-Man will be in the flick.
It’s already rumored the Future Foundation will be in the film, which in Marvel Comics lore is a philanthropic organization created by Mister Fantastic to better serve humanity’s future.
Following the death of the Human Torch, Mister Fantastic forms a team that comes up with solutions to the world’s problems. Spider-Man happens to be on the team, and they wear white costumes.
It has been said about the Fantastic Four movie that it takes place in a futuristic version of the 1960s NYC, so it could be possible a version of the Future Foundation exists in that world/universe or sometime in the movie, Pedro Pascal’s Mr. Fantastic forms the Future Foundation in the regular Marvel universe. It would be pretty wild if FF features a Spider-Man Variant.
Maybe for Spider-Man 4?
The other possibility is the hat could be for Spider-Man 4.
Fans have offered the white costume could mean Anti-Venom or Mr. Negative.
Spider-Man 4 is in development but has yet to be officially announced. D23 seems to be all about the MCU’s TV shows, while Comic-Con was about the movies, so we’ll have to see what Feige has planned for tonight.
