The new untitled Spider-Man movie has been added to the release calendar for July 24, 2026, with Tom Holland returning as the webslinger and Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton directing.
No other movies are dated on that weekend. The fourth installment opens in the wake of a Universal event film on July 17, 2026 and prior to Paramount/Spinmaster’s Paw Patrol 3 on July 31.
There had been chatter out there that Holland was circling a new Spider-Man movie. At the time when Justin Kroll first reported on Cretton as director for the fourthquel back in September, Holland and Zendaya’s deals weren’t closed yet, but both A-listers were in touch with execs and producers about the development of the film with new contracts underway. Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige are back as producers.
The previous movie, 2021’s Spider-Man No Way Home, is the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time at the global box office at $1.95 billion, and the third highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office with $814.8 million.
