With Venom: The Last Dance opening in theaters and no word on another installment in Sony’s MCU-set Spider-Man franchise, it was increasingly likely that the studio would add to the buzz around Venom’s release by addressing its plans for Spider-Man 4. And with just a couple of days remaining before Tom Hardy‘s last go around as the lethal protector, Tom Holland did indeed let the cat out of the bag.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Holland confirmed plans to film the sequel in the summer of 2025. Should Marvel Studios stick to that schedule, it is likely that Sony will release the film in the summer of 2026 with the July 24th date recently abandoned by Marvel Studios being likely.
When asked by Fallon if he could confirm that he would be back as Spider-Man in Spider-Man 4, Holland played to the crowd a bit before saying,”It’s happening.” The star went to reveal a start date for the project, confirming recent reports. “Next summer, we start shooting. Everything’s good to go – we’re nearly there. Super exciting. Yeah, I can’t wait!“
Holland didn’t give anything more away but it is likely that Spider-Man 4 will join Avengers: Doomsday as MCU-set films releasing in 2026. Marvel Studios has an additional two dates set aside for currently untitled films.
Holland recently updated the status of the script for Spider-Man 4, saying he read a draft that “really lit a fire in me” while cautioning that there were “a few things we need to figure out before we can get that going.” In the same interview, the star expressed interest in eventually helping bring Miles Morales into the MCU, sparking buzz that the hero may make his live-action debut in Spider-Man 4. Despite plenty of rumors about the plot of the film, nothing has been officially revealed making Miles Morales just as likely to appear as Daredevil, Eddie Brock, The King in Black or Shang-Chi.
