Spider-Man 4 will be a "fresh start" for Peter Parker, according to star Tom Holland, so forget everything you know about the character and get ready for a brand-new MCU adventure. The film, which is now officially titled Spider-Man: Brave New Day, is heading to our screens next year, and we already know some important details.
Below, we've compiled everything you need to know about Spider-Man 4 release date, confirmed cast, plot theories, first-look footage, and more. The movie is getting release between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so we can expect Peter to have a major role in what's coming next in the superhero franchise.
Nearly four years after the heartbreaking events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, a new Spidey movie is finally taking shape, with filming starting at some point this year with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings helmer Destin Daniel Cretton, and one casting announcement already sending fans into a frenzy.
As more updates keep coming our way, we've gathered all the information available right now about Spider-Man 4 release date, cast, plot, trailers, and more. Official details are pretty thin on the ground at the moment, but that doesn't mean we don't have our fair share of theories.
For all that and more, keep reading for your friendly neighborhood guide to the future of the Spidey series.
Spider-Man 4 release date
The Spider-Man 4 release date is July 31, 2026, releasing as part of Marvel Phase 6.
The movie was originally slated for July 24 before it was pushed back a week – possibly to avoid clashing with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which also stars Tom Holland and is due to be released on July 17.
In CinemaCon 2025, it was announced that the official title for the movie is Spider-Man: Brave New Day (more on the meaning of that in plot section).
Is there a Spider-Man 4 trailer?
No, there isn't a Spider-Man 4 trailer at the moment as filming on the movie hasn't kicked off just yet.
Based on the next two big-screen Marvel outings, we can expect a trailer in January or February 2026, as the first trailer for Thunderbolts* dropped six months ahead of its release date, and the Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer was released five months before its release date. Whenever a trailer does drop, we'll be the first to let you know.
Spider-Man 4 cast
- Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man
- Sadie Sink
Holland and Sink are the only confirmed cast members so far, and Sink's role is still being kept under wraps (although fans think she might be playing Jean Grey). It's likely that Zendaya could be back as MJ Watson and Jacob Batalon could return as Ned, but it's unclear what kind of role they would play, as they won't know who Peter is after the events of No Way Home. Benedict Cumberbatch could be back as Doctor Strange, too, but he's only spoken about his involvement with the new Avengers movies so far.
Daredevil: Born Again's Vincent D'Onofrio shot down rumors that his character Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin, would appear in the movie, but we know by now to never trust anything a Marvel actor says… Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock cameoed in No Way Home, after all.
Former web-slinger Andrew Garfield has also denied any involvement in the sequel, but he understands that no one will believe him after how frequently and vehemently he denied appearing in No Way Home.
As for new characters, Sony boss Amy Pascal teased that "there’s a lot of fantastic female characters" in the movie, so it looks like we can expect some fresh faces to join the cast. As for who that could be, you'll have to stay tuned.
Spider-Man 4 plot
There are no official Spider-Man 4 plot details out there at the moment.
During an appearance at the CinemaCon in Las Vegas in late March 2025, Tom Holland teased the new movie saying: "I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That's all I can say."
Spider-Man: No Way Home ended with Peter realizing that the only way to protect the sanctity of the multiverse is to erase himself from everyone's memories – including his loved ones. Before Doctor Strange casts the spell to wipe all traces of Peter Parker from the world, he promises MJ and Ned that he'll find them and help them remember him, so we'll see if he follows through on that vow. After speaking to Happy, Peter decides not to hang up his Spidey suit for good, so we can expect plenty of web-slinging action.
Although the plot is still under wraps, the confirmation of the film's official title, Brave New Day, might have offered some clues already. The title is a direct reference to a divisive comic book storyline that ran in 2008 and was essentially a soft reboot for Peter Parker. In the story, he agreed to Mephisto's terms to sacrifice his marriage to Mary-Jane in order to save the life of his Aunt May. We don't know if this storyline will be important for the upcoming movie, but it could fit well with the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Another clue could be found in the casting of Sadie Sink. If the rumors are true and she is playing Jean Grey (or Firestar…), then we can expect some sort of crossover between Spider-Man and the X-Men, too. Kevin Feige previously said that the X-Men would be an "important part" of the MCU's future after Avengers: Secret Wars arrives in 2027, so it would make sense to lay the groundwork for that in the movies directly preceding Secret Wars.
As soon as more plot details become apparent, you'll be able to get the lowdown right here.
