Iron Man and Doctor Strange have both been mentors to Spider-Man in the MCU, but Marvel Studios may have already set up the perfect replacement for them in Destin Daniel Cretton’s upcoming Spider-Man 4. Following the recent update that Spider-Man 4 will be released on July 24, 2026, anticipation has been rising about what story will unfold in Tom Holland’s fourth MCU solo movie. Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man 4 will kick-start a new trilogy for Holland’s Peter Parker, and this will likely move into more mature and heavy-hitting territory for the wall-crawler.
