“When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” Holland said.“Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”

Holland also addressed why he doesn't accompany his girlfriend, actress Zendaya, on the red carpet. He explained, "It's not my moment, it's her moment, and if we go together, it's about us." This approach is why Holland was notably absent alongside Zendaya at the premieres of Challengers and Dune: Part Two.

While the couple chooses to keep certain aspects of their relationship private, they have no reservations about working together professionally. In addition to the upcoming Spider-Man 4, Holland and Zendaya are both expected to appear in Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film, The Odyssey.

Sony Pictures has confirmed that the highly anticipated Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland, will swing into theaters on July 24, 2026 . The announcement has fans buzzing, especially with the news that the film will follow shortly after the release of Avengers: Doomsday, set for May 1, 2026.

The fourth installment of the Spider-Man franchise will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, best known for his work on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. His addition to the project has sparked excitement for a fresh take on Holland's portrayal of the iconic superhero.

Holland 's return as Spider-Man will mark his first solo outing since the massive success of Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. That film made headlines not only for its incredible box office performance but also for uniting three generations of Spider-Man actors-Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield-creating a momentous crossover event.

As the buzz continues to build for Spider-Man 4, Marvel and Sony's collaboration promises another thrilling chapter in the superhero saga. Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of what is sure to be one of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
