The Definitive Timeline: When Are The Next Two Spider-Man Movies Finally Coming Out?
The wait is finally over. After years of speculation following the mind-bending conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have confirmed the release date for not just one, but two massive new Spider-Man films. As of today, December 23, 2025, fans can officially mark their calendars for the return of both Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in the MCU and Miles Morales in the animated Spider-Verse saga, with both projects now well into production.
The next time the Web-Slinger swings onto the big screen will be in the summer of 2026, kicking off a new era for the character in a solo film rumored to be titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The animated conclusion to the Miles Morales story, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, will follow in 2027, completing a spectacular roadmap for the hero across both live-action and animation.
The Next Live-Action MCU Film: Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)
The immediate answer to "When is the next Spider-Man movie coming out?" is July 31, 2026. This date is locked in for the fourth solo installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series, starring Tom Holland. This film is arguably the most anticipated project in the MCU’s current slate, as it will finally reveal the consequences of Doctor Strange’s final, memory-wiping spell from No Way Home.
Official Release Date and Production Status
The film, which is widely rumored to be titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. This places it firmly in MCU Phase 6, potentially bridging the gap between major events like Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.
- Confirmed Release Date: July 31, 2026
- Director: Destin Daniel Cretton (known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings)
- Screenwriters: Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers
- Star: Tom Holland (as Peter Parker / Spider-Man)
- Production Status: Principal photography is reported to have wrapped in late 2025, with filming locations including Glasgow, Scotland, and Leavesden Studios in the UK. Reshoots are reportedly scheduled for late 2025/early 2026.
The New Cast, Villains, and Plot Leaks
The subtitle Brand New Day is a direct reference to a major 2008 comic book storyline where Peter Parker's identity was erased from the world. The film is expected to explore a dramatically different, grounded life for Peter Parker, who is now truly alone, without his past connections to MJ, Ned Leeds, or the Avengers.
The New Status Quo:
The new film will reportedly focus on a Peter Parker who is living in a small, run-down apartment in New York, struggling to make ends meet, and operating as a street-level hero. This shift back to a more grounded "Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" is a major selling point for the new trilogy. The film is rumored to heavily explore Peter’s psychological struggle as he grapples with the permanent loss of his loved ones' memories.
Key Rumored Cast and Entities:
While the return of Zendaya (MJ) and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) is heavily rumored, their roles are expected to be significantly altered due to the memory wipe. The biggest new additions point to a gritty, street-level conflict:
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / The Punisher: Bernthal is heavily rumored to appear, connecting the film to the grittier side of Marvel's street-level heroes and the DODC (Department of Damage Control).
- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / The Hulk: Rumors suggest a cameo, which could tie into the larger MCU Phase 6 narrative and the potential for a Grey Hulk storyline.
- Michael Mando as Scorpion: The return of Mando's character Mac Gargan, first seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming, is a strong rumor, potentially setting him up as the main, street-level antagonist.
- Sadie Sink: The Stranger Things star is rumored to be cast in a significant, undisclosed role, potentially a new love interest or a character from the wider Spider-Man mythos.
The Villain Question:
Initial leaks suggest Peter will face multiple, boss-fight style encounters with classic comic book villains, including Scorpion. Intriguingly, there are persistent rumors of a classic Daredevil villain appearing in the film, potentially Kingpin or Bullseye, signaling a major crossover with the street-level heroes of Hell's Kitchen. While the direct involvement of Charlie Cox's Daredevil remains a point of debate, his supporting cast's villains are clearly in play.
The Animated Conclusion: Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (2027)
While Tom Holland's return is the next on the calendar, the ultimate conclusion to the Miles Morales saga is a monumental event in the world of animation. Following the massive success and cliffhanger ending of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, fans are desperate to see the final showdown between Miles Morales and The Spot, as well as the fate of Gwen Stacy and the Spider-Society.
The Delayed but Confirmed Release Date
Originally scheduled for a 2024 release, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse has been pushed back significantly due to the complexities of its groundbreaking animation process and industry-wide production struggles. The good news is that the film is definitively not cancelled and has a new, confirmed release window.
- Confirmed Release Date: June 18, 2027
- The Saga's Conclusion: The film is the final chapter in the trilogy, wrapping up the story started in Into the Spider-Verse.
- Main Character: Miles Morales
- Antagonist: The Spot
- Key Entities: Gwen Stacy, Peter B. Parker, Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), Miguel O'Hara (Spider-Man 2099), and the entire Spider-Society.
The new June 18, 2027, date places the film in the highly competitive Father's Day weekend slot, a testament to Sony's confidence in the final chapter of the Spider-Verse saga. The story will pick up immediately after the cliffhanger, with Miles trapped in an alternate universe and facing the ultimate challenge to his destiny.
The Future of Spider-Man: What to Expect in 2026 and 2027
The next two years are set to redefine the Spider-Man cinematic landscape. The dual projects showcase Sony and Marvel's commitment to exploring both the Multiverse and the grounded, street-level crime-fighting that defines the hero.
A New Era for Peter Parker
For Tom Holland's Peter Parker, Brand New Day promises a stark contrast to his previous adventures. The film is expected to feature a new, homemade-style new suit that reflects his solitary, financially strained life, a visual nod to his classic comic book origins.
The film's focus on street crime and the involvement of characters like The Punisher and potential Daredevil villains suggests a mature, darker tone. This move is a strategic way to differentiate the new trilogy from the high-flying, global adventures of the previous three films, like Far From Home and Homecoming. It returns Peter to his roots: a lone hero in New York City, fighting for the little guy.
The Animated Universe's Legacy
The *Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse* conclusion will focus on Miles Morales' fight against The Spot—a villain who has gained cosmic, multiversal power. The film's core conflict revolves around the concept of "canon" events—the tragic moments that must happen for a Spider-Man to exist. Miles' refusal to accept this destiny sets him against the entire Spider-Society, led by Miguel O'Hara. The film is expected to deliver a definitive, visually stunning, and emotionally resonant conclusion to his journey.
With a confirmed release date, the production team is now focused on delivering the highest quality animation, ensuring the story's complexity and the visual spectacle meet the incredibly high bar set by the previous two installments. The wait is long, but the payoff promises to be worth every delayed minute.
