Spider-Man 4 Starring Tom Holland Sets Summer 2026 Release Date

News on new Tom Holland projects is getting to be a little like buses — you wait ages and ages for something to show up and then suddenly you just can't seem to stop 'em. It's certainly proving to be the case right now at least. A week ago, we brought you news that the Spider-Man: No Way Home star had read a Spider-Man 4 script with co-star girlfriend Zendaya; and then, just three days later, we learned that the British actor has landed another gig of a lifetime as the lead in Christopher Nolan's upcoming Universal movie. Now, completing a Spidey news sandwich, today THR are reporting that Sony has set a 24 July, 2026 release date for the hotly anticipated MCU fourquel, which Destin Daniel Cretton is preparing to direct.

Having revealed in an interview with Jimmy Fallon just the other day that shooting on Spider-Man 4 is set to get underway next Summer, Holland — who's just started returning to the media circuit after a year-long post-The Crowded Room break — is suddenly a very booked-and-busy man again. In a release pattern redux of Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spider-Man 4 is set to hit cinemas just a few short months after Robert Downey Jr. makes his big MCU comeback in Avengers: Doomsday on 1 May, 2026. What's more, unless there's any release date chicanery between now and July 2026, Holland will be the face of summer blockbuster season, with his Nolan movie currently slated to open on 17 July, just a week before his big web-slinging return.

When Spider-Man 4 does finally arrive in theatres, it'll have been four and a half long years since the game changing finale of No Way Home saw the world — and Peter Parker's nearest and dearest — forget Spidey's true identity. But hold tight, True Believers — the countdown to our friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man thwipping his way back onto our screens is on! Only 637 days to go...
