The release of the next Tom Holland Spider-Man movie has been pushed back one week, now slated for July 31st, 2026, instead of July 24th, 2026. 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 film, offering both films better access to IMAX screens, a preference known to be held by Christopher Nolan.
Marvel has confirmed a fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland, following Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026). Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) will direct, taking over from his previous commitment to the next Avengers film following narrative shifts related to the Kang character. The Russo Brothers have returned to direct Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. surprisingly cast as Doctor Doom.
This scheduling change sets up an interesting double feature, potentially dubbed "Oddy-Man 4" or a similar catchy title, for moviegoers in July and August 2026. For a complete list of upcoming MCU projects, check out [link to your MCU project list here].
