Will there be a Spider-Man 5? Everything we know about Peter Parker’s MCU future
Spider-Man 5 has not been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures, despite the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on 31 July. The article says Peter Parker’s next likely MCU appearance is Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027, where multiverse storylines could set up a transition towards Miles Morales.
Tom Holland is not listed among the cast of Avengers: Doomsday, while a Brand New Day post-credits scene suggests Spider-Man is on a distant planet. Sony has scheduled Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse for June 2027, but Marvel’s announced films through 2029 include no further Spider-Man instalment; based on previous gaps, the article suggests Spider-Man 5 may not arrive until around 2030.
In short
- Spider-Man 5 has not been announced.
- Peter Parker may return in Secret Wars in 2027.
- A Miles Morales handover could follow around 2030.
Explained simply
Spider-Man is a Marvel character whose films are made through a partnership between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Peter Parker is played by Tom Holland; his story also connects with larger team-up films featuring other Marvel heroes.
The films have introduced multiverses, where stories can involve different versions of familiar characters. Miles Morales is another Spider-Man in Marvel’s stories, and his animated films are produced separately from the live-action MCU films.
Whether the live-action series continues matters to viewers following Peter’s story and to how Spider-Man fits into the wider Marvel films. Sony and Marvel announce projects on their own schedules, so an unannounced film has no confirmed release date or cast.
