MCU fans are concerned that Spider-Man 4’s release date might be delayed due to Tom Holland‘s reported involvement in another big project. At the moment, the movie’s potential release date and plot details are not yet announced. However, many believe that Holland’s future scheduling conflicts could cause a significant delay in Spider-Man 4’s production.

Here’s a detailed article on why many believe Spider-Man 4’s delay is possible.

Will Spider-Man 4’s release date get delayed?

There are no confirmed reports of a potential Spider-Man 4 delay. However, reports suggesting Holland’s participation in Christopher Nolan’s next movie have fueled speculation.

Holland’s filmography is stacked with prominent Hollywood projects. The latest reports suggest that he is set to add another big project to the list: Christopher Nolan’s upcoming untitled movie.

Universal Pictures, which held distribution rights for Oppenheimer, will also acquire it for the upcoming movie. Aside from Holland, Matt Damon, popularly known for Good Will Hunting and Interstellar, will also be a part of his undisclosed movie. Nolan and his wife, Emma Thomas, under Syncopy’s name, will produce the film. The studio has currently slated its release for  July 17, 2026. As of now, the plot and other casting details remain under wraps. Moreover, when the film begins shooting remains unknown.

This sudden news of Holland’s participation in a Nolan movie made fans believe that a Spider-Man 4 delay is inevitable. Holland is currently associated with two Marvel Studios projects: Avengers: Doomsday and fourth installment. With Nolan’s venture adding on, his 2025 will likely involve juggling between these projects, which might lead to a potential delay.

Although the Spider-Man 4 release date remains unannounced, many speculate it will be between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. These films are likely to be released in 2026 and 2027, respectively. Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, will return to the director’s chair for Spider-Man 4.
