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 has nudged the release 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 now positions the Marvel entry for launch two weeks after Universal’s July 17, 2026 release of “The Odyssey,” Christopher Nolan’s next film which also stars Holland.

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?

However, the delay that the movie now faces is a minuscule change, which means superhero fans will only have to wait one extra week until Tom Holland returns to the big screen as Peter Parker and his webslinging alter ego.

Tom Holland and Zendaya's Spider-Man 4 has been pushed back as it steered clear of clashing with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Marvel and Sony have confirmed that Spider-Man 4 will be postponed for one week from its initial release date of July 24,
