The release of the next Tom Holland Spider-Man film has been pushed back a week, now slated for July 31st, 2026, instead of the previously announced July 24th. This shift likely aims to provide more separation from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, ensuring both films have ample time on IMAX screens, a preference known to Nolan.
This adjustment creates a two-week gap between The Odyssey and the fourth Spider-Man movie, offering a more comfortable release window for both. This is particularly beneficial given Tom Holland's starring role in both films.
Marvel has officially confirmed a fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland, following Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026). Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) will direct, a change from his previous assignment to direct the next Avengers film, due to storyline alterations related to the Kang character. The Russo Brothers have returned to helm Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. surprisingly cast as Doctor Doom. For a complete list of upcoming MCU projects, check here.
