Rumor: SPIDER-MAN 4's Release Date May Be Pushed Due To Production Delays

Spider-Man 4 has a release date of July 24, 2026. However, a new rumor from Jeff Sneider suggests the highly anticipated film could be delayed.

It's been nearly three years since Spider-Man: No Way Home arrived in theaters. Now, the world is eagerly anticipating the release of Spider-Man 4. Though Peter Parker's next MCU installment seemed uncertain for a while, the follow-up to his multiversal adventure appears to be well on track. First, it was revealed that Destin Daniel Cretton, director of 2021's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, would be helming the film. Then, an official release date of July 24, 2026 was announced for the project.

Overall, things seem bright for the wall-crawler. However, if a new rumor is to be believed, it seems fans could end up waiting a little longer than expected for Spidey's latest outing. Speaking on The Hot Mic podcast on November 14, Jeff Sneider revealed that, while he initially expected the untitled Spider-Man 4 to start shooting mid-2025, he has now heard the movie could be facing both production and release date delays:

"I'm under the impression that ['Spider-Man 4'] would go in the second half of the year. Sounds like if it does [...] I keep hearing 'Spider-Man 4' may have been pushed to like, end of 2025, early 2026. I don't see a world in which it makes that release date in 2026 in the summer. So, I'm hearing that something's up with 'Spider-Man 4''s date, and that that may be pushed some months."

Sneider clarified he did not confirm the information with Sony, but that his source advised him to keep an eye on the situation. He also stated he did not know how this possible outcome could affect Avengers: Secret Wars. A delay for Spider-Man 4 would be surprising, given how, just in October, during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Spider-Man actor Tom Hollland revealed the movie would start shooting summer 2025.

Interestingly, Spider-Man 4 is meant to fall right between Avengers: Doomsday (May 1, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7, 2027). Spider-Man 4 has long been rumored to feature some sort of multiversal element. Furthermore, given its placement between two major MCU events, it's often assumed the film will lead into the fifth Avengers chapter in some form. So, if the movie were to be delayed, it opens the question mark of whether or not Secret Wars could be affected, both in terms of story and release date. 

Of course, it's important to stress this is just a rumor, so we should wait and see how things develop. It's also worth stressing that, even if there were to be a delay, it wouldn't necessarily mean bad things for the project. The potential delay Sneider refers to could come down to something as simple as actors' scheduling, for example. So, time to panic, it is not. 

Spider-Man 4 is scheduled to be released July 24, 2026.

I'm not surprised by this. There's no way Spider-Man 4 is releasing a week after Christopher Nolan's movie.

@jst5 -
It's stacked with movies, but a majority are corporations just pushing out another sequel based on a nostalgia property and given the times we live in, many are likely to be just leaning heavily on what we've already seen or be made by creative teams trying to push their viewpoints socially or politically, let alone the groups of wackjobs who hate the fans of the stuff they are paid to create.

@jst5 -
Honestly, none of the film releases in 2026 currently interest me other than a mild interest in Spider-man 4.

Everything else has so many red flags that I don't feel anything towards them.

You know how cheaply you could throw together an urban Spidey/Daredevil Vs Mayor Kingpin, Scorpion, Prowler movie (with Sidney Sweeney Black Cat and Punisher thrown in)? And how quickly? You'd only need a few weeks of Holland's time.

You could have the movie out by next December.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 11/16/2024, 5:45 PM
@ObserverIO - I said the same thing. Make Spider-Man 4 about Fisk hiring Scorpion, Black Cat, and Shocker to work for him to fulfill many of his political hits while stealing evidence and planting evidence to lock up his enemies. Spider-Man intervenes when he interrupts an assassination attempt on Yuri Watanabe.

What a bad article based on rumors from a scooper.

Jeff Sneider is not trustworthy.

Holland said when the filming begins and it is in summer 25.

Fantastic Four had only 10 months of filming and will make it's release date.

A good director is able to shoot a big movie in 3 months. Then there are 6 months of fx and a few weeks of reshoots and additional scenes.

@MarvelZombie616 - actually Sneider is one of the only trustworthy scoopers in the game more often than not.

I am ABSOLUTELY OKAY WITH THIS!!! Spiderman's movies have been shoehorned into the MCU. Where's Shang-Chi 2???? Where's this Blade movie they can't seem to make? We can chill on Spiderman for a bit, in my opinion.

Daredevil is about to bless us, and if this is a setup for Midnight Suns, or the "street level" side of the MCU they want to show, then hit us with that Blade movie, Marvel. They managed to get Deadpool 3 processed and delivered quicker than ANY movie I've ever followed/tracked. If you have the time, go down the rabbit hole and do the math yourself. Once principal photography started, they got that movie out QUICK.

I also understand there may be A LOT of "business" involved since Spidey is kind of on loan to Marvel. However, other priorities seemed to have shifted to the side in exchange for Spiderman.

I doubt it's gonna be pushed into 2027. Christmas worked for No Way Home, so I can see Sony wanting to repeat that with SM4. Don't think it's because of production issues or something though.
Scarilian
Scarilian - 11/16/2024, 6:33 PM
@bkmeijer1 -
Latest it'd get pushed is to November 6th 2026, which is currently the date of an untitled MCU film so they have that slot reserved.

This would give the audience more time after Avengers Doomsday in May rather than immediately going into Spider-man 4 and slots Spider-man 4 neatly in the middle of both Avengers movies.

Avengers Doomsday: May 2026
Spider-man 4: November 2026
Avengers Secret Wars: May 2027
bkmeijer1
bkmeijer1 - 11/16/2024, 7:07 PM
@Scarilian - that does work well in between both. Think the November slot is reserved for Blade though.

I could see them put Blade in October (i.e. spooky season) and then release Spider-Man in December. There's no Star Wars anymore then, so no big competition.

It should be a grounded Spider-man movie:

After NWH, Peter trying to push his real life away by focusing on being Spider-man, ends up making him vulnerable to the symbiote which bonds to him. He's trying to do everything on his own and avoids interacting during his normal life, getting bullied because of it which he accepts because he thinks he deserves it, blaming himself for the situation in NWH.

Kingpin hiring Mac Gargan to take out Spider-man, Gargan getting the Scorpion suit and fighting Spider-man only for Daredevil to lend a hand.

Daredevil and Spider-man teaming up to investigate, only for the black suit to draw a wedge between the two's methods resulting in them fighting and seperating.

Black-suited Spider-man tracking down Scorpion and accidentally killing him, regretting his actions and ditching the symbiote, retreating to Matt Murdock to repent.

Matt giving Peter an emotional talk about how we cannot undo the past and we have to move on from it the best we can. Advising him that trying to tackle anything alone won't help him. The two then teaming up to stop Kingpin, managing to arrest him and bring him to justice.

Mid-Credit scene of Peter returning to his apartment and making small talk with his next door neighbor 'Miles' offering to hang out sometime.

Post-Credit scene of symbiote finding Gargan's body, reviving him as 'Venom' and teasing the creation of a 'Codex' another chance at Knull's freedom.
