Will Spider-Man 4 Bring Back Andrew Garfield?

Andrew Garfield, who played Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man movies, reprised his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home alongside Tom Holland and Tobey Maguire.

That said, it's worth taking this with a pinch of salt. Marvel contracts often prevent actors from confirming their involvement in MCU projects. If you recall, Garfield also denied his involvement in Spider-Man: No Way Home until the very last minute. So, it's possible that he has already signed on and is just keeping it under wraps.

Is Spider-Man 4 Set for a July 2026 Release?

The buzz around Spider-Man 4 intensified further when Disney recently announced its upcoming release schedule for the next two years, leaving a vacant spot in July 2026 for an undisclosed project. Fans quickly did the math and speculated that Spider-Man 4 might occupy that slot. While nothing has been confirmed, the speculation seems plausible, especially in light of new reports suggesting that the film may also be another Multiverse movie.

A new report has surfaced regarding the filming schedule for Spider-Man 4. According to scooper Daniel Richtman, who is known for providing credible industry scoops, Marvel and Sony plan to begin production on Spider-Man 4 next year. While there is no specific timeframe for when filming will commence, it is expected to be in the first half of the year. Richtman also suggested that the movie could hit theaters in July 2026, fitting snugly between Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. If true, this would lend more weight to the rumors that the film will have Multiverse elements.
