With Disney shifting the release dates for their upcoming slate of films today, Sony has decided to swing the Spider-Man: Far From Home sequel release as well. The upcoming addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe will be pushed back a month to December 17, 2021, according to Deadline.

  • The next Spider-Man film was previously set to be released on November 5, 2021.
  • With Disney moving the long-awaited Avatar 2 from December 17, 2021 to December 16, 2022, Sony decided to move their film into the holiday season release date.
  • The film will of course be a co-production between Disney and Sony, as has been the case for the previous two Spider-Man films.
  • While we don’t yet know the name of the next Spidey movie, we do know Tom Holland will return as the web-slinger.
