SPIDER-MAN 4: Talk Of The Movie Being Delayed Appears To Be Much Ado About Nothing

Despite rumblings that Spider-Man 4's production start date has been pushed back - resulting in a release date delay - a new report suggests it's all part of Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' plan...

Over the weekend, you might have seen comments from Jeff Sneider claiming Spider-Man 4's release date was likely to be pushed back as a result of production on the movie not starting until the second half of 2025. 

He posited that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures would push the untiled Spider-Man: No Way Home sequel by "some months," a decision which makes little sense so soon after the movie's July 2026 release date was announced to great fanfare. 

Now, we have a somewhat more believable update from insider Daniel Richtman.

Confirming that Spider-Man 4 will indeed start production next summer, he explains that this minor delay is simply to allow Tom Holland to film his roles in Avengers: Doomsday and Christopher Nolan's next movie. There's no indication of any sort of release date delay. 

While Spider-Man: No Way Home found great success in the December of 2021, that was a unique situation. For starters, the pandemic meant that Sony had no other choice than to release it then and, with restrictions lifting across the globe, it came at a time when people were eager for the big screen experience. 

Spider-Man 4 could take Marvel Studios' vacant November 6 slot in 2026. However, we're sure everyone involved wants this to be one of the biggest summer movies of that year as that isn't the most favourable month for blockbusters. 

A supposed synopsis for Spider-Man 4 - which has been rumoured to be titled both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Spider-Man: King in Black - reads, "Following the events of Doomsday, Peter Parker is determined to lead a normal life and focus on college, stepping back from his responsibilities as Spider-Man."

"However, peace is short-lived when a deadly new threat emerges, endangering his friends and forcing Peter to reconsider his promise. With stakes higher than ever, Peter reluctantly returns to his Spider-Man identity and finds himself teaming up with an unlikely ally to protect those he loves," it concludes.

"All I can tell you is that it's happening," Tom Holland said last month on Good Morning America while discussing his new non-alcoholic beer, Bero.

Revealing they've spent quite a bit of time working on the movie's concept, he said everyone involved now feels "strong enough" to go ahead and reiterated that shooting will begin next summer. "The idea is crazy," the actor teased. "It's a little different to anything we've done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it."

Spider-Man 4 has been officially dated for July 26, 2026 with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton helming a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

i'm just gonna take this new news as a rumor and believe the previous rumor news that this movie has been delayed unless there is a new rumor that is newer then this one.

"while discussing his new non-alcoholic beer, Bero"

That sounds fun.

Well, obviously. His schedule is busy, but I think Holland makes it work. Probably wouldn't have taken Nolan's job if it didn't work out with Marvel's (assumed) lock-in schedule.

And I don't think it would've taken that November slot. Blade isn't released next year anymore, so it probably takes that first available slot of November 2026.

@bkmeijer1 - next year is 2025 , not 2026

Blade could take the November 2026 slot if it happens

@TheVisionary25 - wasn't Blade originally supposed to release in November 2025? But yeah, if it happens at all

TheVisionary25 - 11/20/2024, 9:55 AM
@bkmeijer1 - yes but I thought you said Soider Man could take the November 2026 spot since Blades not happening right now?

bkmeijer1 - 11/20/2024, 10:08 AM
@TheVisionary25 - oh gotcha. I don't think Spider-Man will move or Blade will be removed altogether.

I'm guessing 2026 will look like this: Doomsday in May, Spider-Man 4 in July and Blade in November.

I [frick]ing hate how journalism has changed since covid, all made up shit with no substance but it's also so simplistic that it could possibly happen. AHHHHHH

@bobevanz - they throw every generic possibility at the wall so that one of them ends up being right and they say “see? I told you so”

@bobevanz - As someone who has spent the past 15 years working in news (production, then shifting to news producing and finally creative services), I’m not sure I consider this website journalism. It’s just relaying information from other sources. More often than not, those sources are online people that truly have no accountability over whatever they decide to share.

@bobevanz - the problem is Josh only writes about what leakers say and leakers are notoriously hit or miss.

@thedrudo - And people like Daniel Richtman and MTTSH have to put out something or they lose Patreon subscribers. So they put out some BS and some real leaks.

That would make sense if so but we’ll see…

Hollands definitely making a hell of a big screen comeback it seems with not just this but the next Chris Nolan film aswell as the movie he’s doing with Austin Butler where they play drug running brothers.

Anyway, , hope this turns out well especially with Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm since I liked Shang Chi quite a bit!!.

I heard this came out 5 years ago, and this is just the reboot.
