Spider-Man 4 Gets Small Delay to Move Clear of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

The release of the next Tom Holland Spider-Man film has been pushed back a week, now slated for July 31st, 2026, instead of July 24th, 2026. This scheduling adjustment likely aims to provide more breathing room between the Spider-Man film and Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

The revised release date positions the Spider-Man movie two weeks after The Odyssey, offering a more comfortable gap compared to the previously planned one-week separation. This is beneficial for both films, potentially ensuring optimal IMAX screen availability, a preference known to be held by Christopher Nolan.

Marvel has confirmed a fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland is in production, following Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026). Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) will direct, taking the reins after storyline shifts related to the Kang character altered the original plans for the next Avengers film.

The Russo Brothers have returned to direct Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. surprisingly cast as Doctor Doom. For a complete list of upcoming MCU projects, check here. Prepare for the potential double-feature excitement of The Odyssey and Spider-Man 4!
