After months of speculation, Tom Holland finally set the record straight about Spider-Man 4.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Holland addressed the possibility of a fourth Spider-Man movie. Not only did Holland confirm its existence but the 28-year-old revealed when cameras will begin rolling on Spider-Man 4.

“It’s happening,” Holland told Fallon when asked about Spider-Man 4. “Next summer, we start shooting. Everything’s good to go. We’re nearly there. Super exciting. I can’t wait.”

The Spider-Man news didn’t stop there. While promoting his non-alcoholic beer Bero on Good Morning America, Holland teased the “crazy” idea that Marvel and Sony have for Spider-Man 4.

“The idea is crazy,” Holland said. “It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.”

The news comes days after Holland accepted a starring role in Christopher Nolan’s next movie. Holland’s tentative plans are to shoot Nolan’s project in early 2025 and film Spider-Man 4 next summer. At some point in the middle of those two films, Holland will likely have to shoot his scenes for Avengers: Doomsday.

Last month, Destin Daniel Creed entered negotiations to direct Spider-Man 4. Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the screenwriting duo who contributed to Holland’s previous three Spider-Man films, are penning the fourth film. Marvel’s Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal will produce.

If Spider-Man 4 shoots in the summer of 2025, when can fans expect to see their favorite web-slinger in theaters? After The Fantastic Four in July 2025, only two MCU films have dates: Avengers: Doomsday on May 1, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars on May 7, 2027.

Marvel has untitled films scheduled for February 13, 2026; November 6, 2026; July 23, 2027; and November 5, 2027. The company also added three 2028 dates. Look for a quick turnaround on Spider-Man 4, so keep an eye on November 2026 and July 2027 as potential release dates.

Spider-Man 4 cast adds Stranger Things star Sadie Sink to Tom Holland MCU movie

Spider-Man 4 is turning to Hawkins, Indiana, for some star power. Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink has been cast in Spider-Man 4.

Per Deadline, Sink joins a cast that includes Tom Holland, who returns as Peter Parker.
Sink's role is expected to be "significant." Though her role has not been specified, some theories tie the actress to the X-Men. Jeff Sneider reported in December that Sink is being considered to play Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Because of Sink's red hair, the actress could potentially play a version of Mary Jane Watson. All of these casting rumors remain unconfirmed.
Sink is best known for playing Max Mayfield on Netflix's Stranger Things. Sink recently wrapped production on the fifth and final season, which arrives later this year. Sink can be seen in O'Dessa, Hulu's post-apocalyptic musical streaming on March 20.
The X-Men are coming to the MCU sooner rather than later. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige revealed that the "Mutant Era" has begun, thanks to Deadpool & Wolverine. Grey is a significant character in the X-Men, so introducing her in a story with Spider-Man makes some sense.

Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man 4 has a new release date

Last fall, Marvel Studios and Sony confirmed that Spider-Man 4 will be coming in summer 2026. However, there's been a slight change in plans. While the original release date for the next Spider-Man was July 24, 2026, it's now been pushed back to Friday, July 31, 2026.

No official reason was given for the change, but The Hollywood Reporter noted that this will give Spider-Man 4 some additional breathing room from Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which is slated to arrive on July 17, 2026. Tom Holland is actually going to be in both movies, but the extent of his role in Nolan's film has yet to be revealed. Holland has been the MCU's Spider-Man since Captain America: Civil War in 2016, and he's also starred in a wildly successful trilogy of Spider-Man films.
