Spider-Man 4 is officially set to be released in July 2026, directed by Shang-Chi

Sony Pictures officially announced that Spider-Man 4 will be released on July 24, 2026. As expected by the outside world, it will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi. After Cretton left the Avengers 5 film project, the Russo brothers took over the Avengers 5 and Avengers 6 films.

Considering that Avengers 5 will be released on May 1, 2026, the release date of Spider-Man 4 only leaves the former with a release window of more than two months. This reminds people of Spider-Man 2: Far From Home, which also landed in theaters shortly after Avengers 4 was released.

In addition, the leading actor Tom Holland is also very busy. In addition to "Spider-Man 4", he is said to be filming Nolan's vampire movie at the same time, which will also be released in July 2026.

The story of Spider-Man 4 will be a continuation of the 2021 Spider-Man 3: No Homecoming movie, and is scheduled to start filming in the summer of 2025. Tom Holland and Zendaya have both read the script and were very moved. Former Spider-Man Garfield said that after his cameo in Spider-Man 3, he would not star in Spider-Man 4.
