Fans who just finished *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* already want to know when Tom Holland swings back. The honest answer is: not soon. Six major films are lined up first, and each one could shape where Peter goes next.

## Spider-Man MCU Updates

| Detail | Info |
| --- | --- |
| **Film** | *Spider-Man 5* |
| **Release date** | Not announced |
| **Likely window** | Possibly 2029 or 2030 (estimate) |
| **Star** | Tom Holland |
| **Likely director** | Destin Daniel Cretton (expected, not confirmed) |
| **Gap before it** | Six major Marvel and Sony movies |
| **Previous gap** | Almost five years between *No Way Home* and *Brand New Day* |

## Why the Wait Could Be Long?

Cretton is widely expected to direct *Spider-Man 5*, but his schedule is full. He’s next working on the live-action *Naruto* adaptation, he recently signed on for a *Hawaii Five-0* movie, and he’s still attached to *Shang-Chi 2*. That could push the film back several years.

Holland isn’t idle either. He’s leading Paul King’s untitled Fred Astaire biopic and may appear in the upcoming *Avengers* films. Fans also expect *Spider-Man 5* to tap into the *Daredevil: Born Again* storyline, with Season 3 premiering on Disney+ next March. That would bring Peter face to face with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil and Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin. That’s fan expectation, not confirmation.

#### 1. Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026)

This is the next big MCU event, with Doctor Doom as the central threat. Unlike the last two *Avengers* ensembles, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker isn’t expected to appear in a major way. However, Spider-Man will reportedly still show up. The film is said to open in Sam Raimi’s *Spider-Man* universe, with Tobey Maguire’s Spidey facing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool amid an incursion with the Fox X-Men universe. These details are reports, not confirmed.

#### 2. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (June 18, 2027)

Sony softens the long wait with this animated finale to Miles Morales’ trilogy. Fans have waited since *Across the Spider-Verse* arrived in June 2023, and the film was once slated for March 2024. Phil Lord and Christopher Miller aim to stick the landing, with Spider-Man variants from across the multiverse. Since the last film used archive footage of live-action Spider-Men, a Holland cameo isn’t impossible.

#### 3. Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027)

Spider-Man reportedly gets a bigger moment here, on a multiversal scale. *Brand New Day*’s post-credits scene established that he’s heading to space, which many fans read as a tease for Battleworld. Heavy rumours say both Holland and Maguire have major roles, and some theorise the two Spider-Men remember the old multiverse and help lead a rebellion against Doom. There’s no reliable word on Andrew Garfield.

#### 4. X-Men (May 5, 2028)

This kicks off Phase 7 as the MCU’s *X-Men* reboot. Sadie Sink returns as Jean Grey, who debuted in *Brand New Day*, with Tramell Tillman’s William Metzger reportedly joining her. By the end of *Brand New Day*, Peter and Jean had become something of friends. But the mutants may not feel as warmly about the wall-crawler, since Peter reportedly created the greatest weapon against the new X-Men.

#### 5. Ghost Rider (July 28, 2028)

Marvel’s second new Phase 7 franchise stars Ryan Gosling as the Spirit of Vengeance, with *Deadpool & Wolverine* director Shawn Levy at the helm. The story is a complete mystery, and production starts in 2027. Don’t expect any Spider-Man connection, even though Peter is getting a horror redesign in the comics this year.

#### 6. Black Panther 3 (December 15, 2028)

Ryan Coogler returns to direct the confirmed slate’s closer. David Jonsson joins as a brand new Black Panther, the son of Chadwick Boseman’s T’Challa. Several Wakandan characters are expected back after appearing in *Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*. It will probably stay fairly standalone, but could address the fallout from *Avengers 6* and what it means for Earth-616.

## So When Will Spider-Man 5 Arrive?

If the slate holds, audiences may wait until 2029 or 2030. A longer gap could also help the film repeat *Brand New Day*’s box-office success by keeping fans hungry. Dates can shift, so treat these as current plans, not promises.
