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

The upcoming Tom Holland Spider-Man film has been pushed back a week, likely to avoid clashing with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.

Sony's revised release schedule shows the fourth Spider-Man movie now slated for July 31st, 2026, instead of the previously announced July 24th. This two-week gap between The Odyssey and the Spider-Man film allows for optimal IMAX releases, a preference known to be held by Christopher Nolan. Holland's involvement in both productions likely influenced the decision.

Marvel confirmed the fourth Spider-Man film, starring Tom Holland, as the next MCU project after Avengers: Doomsday (May 1st, 2026). Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) will direct, taking the reins after storyline adjustments impacted the initial directorial plans for the next Avengers installment. Interestingly, the Russo Brothers have returned to helm Avengers: Doomsday, with Robert Downey Jr. cast as Doctor Doom.

This scheduling shift creates an intriguing double feature possibility, prompting speculation about a combined title like "Oddy-Man 4." For a complete list of upcoming MCU projects, check [link to your complete list here].
