Despite teasing the symbiote in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a new project is now more likely to tell the Venom story than Spider-Man 4.

Sony and Marvel Studios’ new untitled Spider-Man with Tom Holland and from Destin Daniel Cretton is going a week later on July 31 instead of July 24 in 2026. What’s so special about July 31 over July 24?

Sony has nudged the release date for Tom Holland ‘s fourth “Spider-Man” installment by one week, shifting it from July 24, 2026 to a new date of July 31, 2026. That adjustment now positions the Marvel entry for launch two weeks after Universal’s release of “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan’s next film which also stars Tom Holland.
