We are still a long ways away from seeing what awaits the MCU’s version of Spider-Man following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. While there are many unconfirmed rumors on what we can expect, we have gotten some information on who will be cast in the fourth installment to the highly successful Marvel franchise.
According to Deadline, Emmy winner Liza Colón-Zayas has been cast to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Her role remains a mystery, but we’re low-key hoping that The Bear‘s star actress will have some kind of connection to a certain Black and Puerto Rican superhero who’s become quite popular in the Marvel universe as a friendly neighborhood web slinger himself.
Still, this is just wishful thinking at this point, but regardless, Colón-Zayas is already joining a star-studded cast that has taken the Spider-Man franchise to a whole new level.
Deadline reports:
The Emmy winner joins an ensemble led by Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker and his superheroic alter ego, with Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink also on board in a mystery role. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who respectively play Peter’s love interest MJ and close friend Ned, are expected to return.
Destin Daniel Cretton will direct, with Amy Pascal producing alongside Marvel president Kevin Feige, when production kicks off later this year. Pic is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release two months after Avengers: Doomsday. According to numerous rumors, Brand New Day will take place after the events of Doomsday and will place Spidey in a post-Doomsday reality where worlds have collided and characters from numerous Marvel films find themselves in the same space and time.
That being said, rumors have circulated that this may mean that Tom Holland’s Spidey will finally get to meet Tom Hardy’s Venom. Other rumors have Steven Yeun being cast as Mr. Negative as the primary villain for Brand New Day, and as much as we love Yeun, that wouldn’t be too exciting for hardcore Spider-Man fans who’d rather see another classic villain make their film screen debut. Hobogoblin maybe? A better iteration of Carnage? A new Venom who’s actually a villain and not an anti-hero?

Sorry Spider-Man fans, but it looks like y’all will have to wait a bit longer to see the fourth installment of the MCU’s Spidey series, as Spider-Man 4 has been delayed to make room for another blockbuster film starring your friendly neighborhood wall crawler.
According to Hypebeast, Sony has moved the release date of the still untitled Spider-Man 4 from July 2026 to August 2026. They’re banking on Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey to make huge waves as it also stars Tom Holland along with Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya (she and Tom really do everything together) amongst many other stars. Based on Homer’s famous Greek poem, The Odyssey is a fantasy film centered around the Greek King of Ithaca and his return home from the Trojan War in which he crosses paths with all kinds of supernatural beings including a cyclops, sea sirens and even a witch.
Needless to say, that film is bound to make bank at the box office.
Per Hypebeast:
Both of Holland’s films will be coming out a week from one another and the schedule shift is said to give the actor some breathing room between both blockbuster premieres. Zendaya is rumored to also be in Spider-Man 4 and is currently confirmed to be in The Odyssey as well. Had Sony not changed the schedule, the newest Spider-Man film would come just a week after The Odyssey, which continues to be a nod to Nolan’s decades-long relationship with Imax. Nolan is said to be shooting with Imax’s powerful cameras and is negotiating a dedicated theatrical window that will show the film at Imax dedicated auditoriums. Sony is presumably also looking to show on Imax. similar to previous Marvel adaptations.
The Odyssey is set to drop July 31, 2026 with Spider-Man 4 following two weeks later. Unfortunately, not much is known about the fourth installment about Spider-Man other than rumors suggesting it will be set in Battle World following the events of Avengers: Doomsday. With word that Doctor Doom is set to merge all kinds of Marvel superheroes and villains in one set reality, rumors suggest that we’ll finally get to see Tom Hardy’s Venom and Tom Holland’s Spider-Man finally cross paths. Whether they’ll be friends or foes is anyone’s guess, but regardless to whom or what, we’ll definitely be checking it out.
