Spider-Man 4: Everything we know so far

Are your spider-senses tingling? Well if they are it's for a good reason, because Tom Holland will soon be swinging back to action in Spider-Man 4.

But there's still a while to go, as the new Spider-Man film is scheduled to come out in cinemas next July.

The film is also being pushed back a week later than originally planned, so it doesn't clash with another film called The Odyssey, which also stars Tom Holland and Zendaya.

The film will also follow Avengers: Doomsday which is coming out in May 2026.

Read on to find out more - but beware, there are spoilers ahead!

When is Spider-Man 4 coming out?

The release of the new Spider-Man film is scheduled to come out in cinemas on July 31, 2026.

What is the Spider-Man 4 story about?

There's not much known about the film's plot so far, but following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) will have to deal with his closest friends no longer knowing who he is.

In a recent interview, film producer Amy Pascal said: "We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker, and he was going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard. So that's what the movie is about."

Could the multiverse be involved again?

Doctor Strange opened up a multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home, which has seen different versions of the same characters popping up in Marvel stories

Despite the introduction of multiverses, crossovers and different actors playing the same character in recent films, Spider-Man 4 is expected to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's (MCU's) Sacred Timeline also known as "Earth-616".

That's the main timeline and universe of the MCU.

It means Spider-Man 4 will tie in with other Marvel superhero movies, like The Avengers and recent release Captain America: Brave New World.

However, is there a chance we might also see Miles Morales introduced to this timeline or enter from another?

Tom Holland said he'd like to be a mentor on and off screen: "If I would be lucky enough to somehow bring Miles Morales into my Spider-Man universe and into the MCU, I'd love to do for a young kid what [Robert] Downey [Jr.] did for me."

Who else will be involved in Spider-Man 4?

Robert Downey Jr is playing Doctor Doom in Avengers: Doomsday, out two months before Spider-Man 4

Avengers: Doomsday comes out just ahead of Spider-Man 4, with Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. returning, this time in the role of villain, Doctor Doom.

Could we see Peter Parker face a villain who looks exactly like his former mentor, Tony Stark?

Is Zendaya in Spider-Man 4?

Zendaya is set to come back in her role as as Michelle "MJ" Jones for Spider-Man 4, although how much involvement she'll have is unknown.

In real life, Zendaya and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland are in fact a couple - with recent reports suggesting they are engaged to be married.

Tom's dad was the first to confirm the engagement in a blog post in January, saying: "Tom, as you know by now was very incredibly well prepared. He had purchased a ring."

"He had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter."

A new director for Spider-Man 4

Jon Watts, who directed the first three Spider-Man films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), will not be returning to direct Spider-Man 4.

Instead, Spider-Man 4 will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who also directed Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.
