Tom Holland has expressed his excitement about joining Christopher Nolan’s latest cinematic venture, following the confirmation that he will star in the esteemed director’s next film after Oppenheimer.
The actor, known for his role as Spider-Man, shared his enthusiasm on Good Morning America, saying: “When the opportunity came in, it was the phone call of a lifetime.”
He likened the moment to receiving the news about Spider-Man a decade earlier: “[It was] reminiscent of getting that call about Spider-Man 10 years ago. It’s an amazing thing for me. I’m super proud and I’m really, really excited.”
Despite his eagerness, Tom kept details about the new project close to his chest, adding: “All I can say is that I’m incredibly excited and obviously honoured, but that’s all I can say because to be honest that’s really all I know.”
The upcoming film, which remains untitled, is set for release on July 17, 2026. This announcement comes on the heels of Nolan’s Oppenheimer, which was a box office hit last year, raking in an impressive $977 million against its $100 million budget.
In what promises to be a hectic period for the actor, Holland’s schedule will be packed in July 2026, as Spider-Man 4 is slated to premiere just a week after his collaboration with Nolan, on July 24.
However, with both films being major productions, there’s always the possibility of changes to their scheduled release dates, reports the Express.
Holland is set to swing back into action as Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the fourth time, with Zendaya returning as his on-screen and real-life love interest MJ.
In a chat on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he spilled the beans about the start of production. “Next summer, we start shooting. Everything’s good to go – we’re nearly there. Super exciting. I can’t wait!” he shared excitedly.
Having donned the Spider-Man suit in three standalone movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), as well as making appearances in Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, Holland has become synonymous with the web-slinging hero.
While Jon Watts directed the previous trio of Spider-Man films, the upcoming installment will see Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton taking the reins.
Christopher Nolan’s yet-untitled film releases on July 17 2026, while Spider Man 4 comes out on July 24.
