Making a Spider-Man movie is no easy feat, especially when it has to fit into the continuity of a sprawling cinematic universe. It’s an issue Marvel has struggled with since 2016, and one that continues to plague the franchise as it gears up for Spider-Man 4. Though the film is finally ramping up to production, Marvel is still searching for a way to continue Spider-Man’s story after 2021’s No Way Home. The solution to that problem may lie in a familiar strategy, but it may also undo all the progress Spidey made in his last solo outing.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Spider-Man 4 is slated to premiere on July 24, 2026. That’s just a few months after the next Avengers movie, Doomsday, hits theaters, so the film will likely serve as a follow-up to that story. This won’t be the first time a Spidey movie reacted to the fallout of an Avengers adventure. Spider-Man: Far From Home was released three months after Avengers: Endgame, and followed Peter as he mourned the loss of his mentor, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.).
