The Spider-Man 4 rumor mill continues to churn with a new twist. After an insider said a few days ago that Sony and Marvel might postpone the Spider-Man 4 release date, we have more reports that echo the sentiment. The movie might begin production later than the summer 2025 window that Tom Holland mentioned in interviews a few weeks ago. As a result, Spider-Man 4 might hit theaters ahead of Christmas 2026.
Even before the first delay rumors appeared, I pointed out that Spider-Man 4 has a big problem if it keeps that July 2026 release date that most leakers agreed on. Christopher Nolan's mysterious new movie will premiere during the same month.
That's not necessarily a problem. There will always be some sort of competition at the box office. The problem is that Tom Holland and Zendaya will star in both movies. Therefore, Holland and Zendaya would have to shoot both projects around the same time and then promote the films at about the same time.
A Christmas release makes better sense for Spider-Man 4, considering how well No Way Home did at the box office during its Christmas 2021 release window. Also, Spider-Man 4 is part of the larger MCU story, where the movie needs to serve a specific purpose. That aspect will also impact its release.
Mind you, some spoilers might follow below.
