The upcoming Tom Holland Spider-Man film has been pushed back by one week, likely for a strategic reason.
Sony revised its release schedule today, announcing that the fourth Spider-Man movie will now hit theaters on July 31, 2026, instead of the previously set July 24, 2026 date. This adjustment likely aims to give the film some distance from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
With this change, the fourth Spider-Man movie will now debut two weeks after The Odyssey, rather than just one week later. This is notable since Tom Holland stars in both films, potentially easing any scheduling conflicts for the actor.
The extra week allows both movies to secure valuable Imax screen time, a format Christopher Nolan is known to prioritize.
Marvel confirmed that the fourth Spider-Man film, starring Tom Holland, is in development and will follow Avengers: Doomsday, set for release on May 1, 2026. Destin Daniel Cretton, who directed Shang-Chi for Marvel and was initially slated to helm the next Avengers film before story changes involving the Kang character, will direct this Spider-Man installment.
The Russo Brothers have returned to direct Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. cast as Doctor Doom. Check out our full list of upcoming MCU projects here and prepare for the buzz around a potential The Odyssey and Spider-Man 4 double feature.
