Sony announced on Friday that Spider-Man will return to theaters on July 24, 2026. Tom Holland returns in the currently untitled Spider-Man 4, which is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
Holland last played Spider-Man in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, the multi-verse extended film that grossed $1.916 billion at the global box office despite the challenges of the coronavirus pandemic. He previously headlined Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and appeared in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).
Holland is expected to film the new Spider-Man movie next year, which will be busy for him. He will also star in Christopher Nolan’s next film, and may portray a role in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday.
No Way Home ended with the world forgetting that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, and in the process, even Peter’s closest friends forgot who he was. No Way Home creators Eric Sommers and Chris McKenna are the writers of the new Spidey movie.
Sony controls the film rights to the character, while Disney-owned Marvel Studios produces it with Sony through a historic partnership concluded in 2015 that allowed Spider-Man to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Holland will be everywhere during the summer of 2026. One week before Spider-Man 4 opens, he’ll be on the big screen with Universal’s Nolan film, which opens on July 17, 2026. If he does show up in Doomsday, that’ll be the start of that film. On May 1, 2026.
