The release of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 may take longer than expected. Following the huge success of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which earned nearly $2 billion at the box office, fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment. While Tom Holland is excited about the upcoming Spidey movie, it has been almost three years since the release of No Way Home, and the exact release date for the sequel remains unknown.
Later Expected Release for Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4
Alex Perez of The Cosmic Circus recently divulged an update regarding the release timeline for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man 4 via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Perez revealed that Sony has an untitled film slated for a theatrical debut on July 27, 2025, which is a mere nine months away. Originally, this was the intended release date for Spider-Man 4, but Perez clarified that the film has now been postponed, shifting its release to July 2026.
“This date was originally the set date for ‘Spider-Man 4.’ As of this moment, the film has been moved to July 2026.”
Back in August, insider Daniel Richtman suggested that Spider-Man 4 could be arriving in July 2026, aligning with Perez’s more recent claims and lending further credibility to the rumored delay.
What Will Happen With Spider-Man 4?
In September 2024, it was reported that the director of “Shang-Chi,” Destin Daniel Cretton, is in line to direct “Spider-Man 4.” However, progress on the sequel has been slow. The story for “Spider-Man 4” started development back in late 2021 during the press tour for “No Way Home,” but almost three years later, the film has yet to move out of pre-production. Filming is now set to start in May 2025, with Tom Holland and Zendaya expected to return for major roles. The big question is how Zendaya’s MJ will be used in the story after forgetting about Peter Parker’s existence by the end of “No Way Home.”
The latest rumors about Spider-Man 4 suggest that it could be a multiversal event similar to No Way Home, following the success of that film. If filming begins next May, the movie is expected to be released between Avengers: Doomsday (May 1, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027). Although details about the storyline have not been revealed, Marvel may choose to place it at a different point in the timeline. Fans are eagerly anticipating Spider-Man’s next solo adventure, which is rumored to hit theaters in 2026.
