“Spider-Man 4” in Full Swing: Tom Holland Returns as Peter Parker With Official July 24, 2026 Release Date
It was only a few days ago that Tom Holland appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and revealed that Spider-Man 4 was officially happening and would begin shooting next summer. Now, it’s been revealed that Spider-Man 4 has an official release date.
Holland will swing back into action as Peter Parker on July 24, 2026. The film will be directed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Creton, and will arrive just two months after Avengers: Doomsday, which premiers on May 1, 2026 and sees the return of Robert Downey Jr. to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but crucially not as Tony Stark but rather as the arch-villain Victor von Doom, aka Doctor Doom.
The still-untitled Spider-Man 4 will be the first Spidey outing since the trilogy capping, critical and commercial smash Spider-Man: No Way Home bowed in 2021. That film boasted not just Holland’s Peter Parker but a three-pack of Parkers, with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire reprising their Spider-Man roles in a multiverse-spanning epic that also saw the return of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, and Jamie Foxx’s Electro. Holland had gone on Fallon then and famously said there weren’t any other Spider-Men in the movie except him.
“You totally, without a doubt, professionally lied to us all,” Fallon said. “But I will say, it was worth it.
It was only last week that Holland recently revealed on the Rich Roll podcast that he and Zendaya had read a draft of the Spider-Man 4 script, saying that while it needed some work, the writers had done a great job. “It really lit a fire in me,” Holland said on the podcast. “Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room, like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”
There’s no word yet on whether Zendaya will reprise her role as MJ, who the villain might be, or how it will play into the events in Avengers: Doomsday. One thing’s for certain—2026 will be a big year for Marvel.
