Tom Holland has confirmed that Spider-Man 4 will begin filming next year.
The actor was last seen as Peter Parker in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, where he teamed up with previous Spideys Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield to confront villains from across the multiverse.
During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Holland confirmed that a fourth Spider-Man movie is definitely “happening” and will kick off production next summer.

“It’s happening. Next summer we start shooting, everything’s good to go, we’re nearly there, super exciting. I can’t wait,” he said.
The update comes after Holland revealed that he and co-star Zendaya have already read a draft of the upcoming instalment’s script.
“It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago, and it really lit a fire in me,” he shared.
“Zendaya and I sat down, read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room.”

Following its release in December 2021, Spider-Man: No Way Home became the seventh-biggest movie of all time after earning $1.92 billion worldwide.
While Jon Watts directed No Way Home and the previous two Spider-Man films, it was confirmed last month that he is being replaced on the fourth movie by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton.
Away from the Marvel universe, Holland was recently cast in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film opposite Matt Damon.
The film’s title and plot details are yet to be confirmed, but we do know it’s currently set for a 2026 release.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is available to buy now on Prime Video, iTunes, Microsoft Store and other digital retailers.
