Fans can officially mark their calendars: Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland, will swing into theaters on July 26, 2026. This latest adventure for Holland’s Peter Parker arrives during a packed summer, strategically releasing just one week after the premiere of a major new film by Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, who will also star Holland, TheHollywoodReporter says. Before that, Holland might appear in Marvel's Avengers: Doomsday, which debuts on May 1, 2026, kicking off a blockbuster summer with Spider-Man at its center.

Behind the camera, Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will direct the latest Spider-Man installment. Sony announced that production starts in summer 2025, with Holland confirming the timing during his recent Tonight Show appearance with Jimmy Fallon. “Next summer, we start shooting,” Holland said, noting the excitement building around the project. Since his last web-slinging turn in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans have been eager for more.

A Promising New Story Arc

Holland teased that he and Zendaya, his co-star, recently read through the script together, with both actors thrilled by the direction of the story. “Zendaya and I sat down and read it together,” Holland said, describing how they “were bouncing around the living room.” Writers Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, who penned No Way Home, return for this sequel. The previous film left Peter Parker with an erased identity, as even his closest friends no longer remember him—a twist that left fans anticipating how the series would unfold.

While Sony owns Spider-Man film rights, its unique deal with Disney’s Marvel Studios continues, allowing Holland’s character to appear in the MCU. Holland’s Peter Parker has already shown up in major crossover films like Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Endgame, which has only boosted his fanbase. With Spider-Man 4 expected to build on No Way Home's success, this film looks poised to meet—and perhaps exceed—audience expectations.

Cretton, who previously planned to direct Avengers: Doomsday before scheduling conflicts, took on Spider-Man 4 as part of his overall Marvel Studios deal. Having previously handled large-scale action films, Cretton’s involvement signals an exciting blend of character depth and action-packed scenes.

The summer of 2026 promises a Holland-filled movie landscape, with Spider-Man 4 dropping days after Nolan’s movie and possibly just months after Avengers: Doomsday. As anticipation builds, this upcoming chapter is shaping up to deliver another iconic performance from Holland and further evolve one of Marvel’s most beloved characters.
