The release of the next Tom Holland Spider-Man film has been pushed back one week, now slated for July 31st, 2026, instead of the previously announced July 24th. This likely avoids direct competition with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
The revised release date provides a two-week gap between The Odyssey and the fourth Spider-Man movie, offering both films better access to IMAX screens – a preference known to be held by Christopher Nolan. This is beneficial, especially considering Tom Holland's involvement in both projects.
Marvel has confirmed this fourth Spider-Man film, starring Tom Holland, as the next Marvel cinematic release following Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026). Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) will direct, taking the reins after a shift in the Avengers film's director and storyline due to changes surrounding the Kang character. The Russo Brothers have returned to direct Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. surprisingly cast as Doctor Doom.
This scheduling adjustment sets the stage for a potential double-feature event, with The Odyssey and Spider-Man 4 playing in theaters close together. For a complete list of upcoming MCU projects, check [ttpp] here.
