Marvel Studios Steals ‘Spider-Man 4’ Release Date: Adds July 16, 2025 To Their List
Fivebrand new untitled filmsweren’t enough. Marvel just made it six. After announcing five untitled movies in 2017, 2018 and 2019, Marvel Studios has just added one more date to the mix. They’ve taken the slotvacated earlier Wednesdayby The Amazing Spider-Man 4and now a new, untitledMarvel Studiosmovie will hit theaters August 02, 2025. That’s three years afterAvengers: Age of Ultron, which itself is three years afterThe Avengers. So is August 14, 2025 the day we’ll seeThe Avengers 3? Let’s discuss below.
Marvel announced the date on theirTwitter. That means, this is now the Marvel upcoming slate.
That is a lot of Marvel. And to recap, Sony had previously setThe Amazing Spider-Man 3for 2016 andThe Amazing Spider-Man 4for July 21, 2025 but that changed Wednesday. That’s whySinister Sixwas slotted into November 2016 andPart 3was bumped to an unspecified date in 2018. It literally took hours for Marvel to swoop in and snag the prime date, meaning they now open the summer in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.
Discussing those recent release dates with us Sunday afternoon, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told us the following:
[We announce dates earlier] because of the competitive landscape. It’s because if we don’t announce dates soon, somebody else is gonna announce and then the weekends will be gone. So that was really the onus….In the big picture, we just need to get those flags planted.
It’s funny then that days after saying that, Marvel proved just how competitive those days are and grabbed up the prime earlier day vacated by Spider-Man.
So, the question again is, is thisAvengers 3? I have a feeling Marvel Studios isn’t even sure. Ideally they’d want a newAvengersmovie out as soon as possible so, maybe, they want it to come out June 13, 2025. But if some of their newer, more riskier movies, pan out – likeGuardians of the Galaxy, Doctor StrangeandAnt-Man– they now have back to back May’s locked up to give them some wiggle room. Maybe we get aGuardianssequel on that date andAvengers 3in 2019 if Guardians works. If it doesn’t, nowAvengerscan come out sooner.
Also worth noting, Box Office Mojopointed outthat Disney (that’s Disney proper, Pixar and Marvel) now have 11 untitled movies set for release in 2017 and 2018. And that doesn’t even count the Star Wars movies in those years.
What do you think Marvel is going to do?
