Tom Holland has confirmed that Spider-Man 4 is officially happening, with the 28-year-old actor sharing on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon that filming on the sequel is set for Summer 2025.

Said Holland: “It’s happening!  Next summer, we start shooting. Everything’s good to go. We’re nearly there. Super exciting … I can’t wait.”

In a separate appearance on Good Morning America, Holland shared that the team is “super close to having a creative that’s worthy of the fans. Now we feel confident that the idea is strong enough that this is going ahead, we’re going to shoot this summer. The idea is crazy, it’s a little different than what we’ve done before.”

Sony Pictures later announced that the untitled project from director Destin Daniel Cretton will debut on July 24, 2026 — shortly after “Avengers: Doomsday” comes out on May 1, 2026.

Holland debuted as Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) in Captain America: Civil War (2016). He has since starred in the films Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), along with other films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Beyoncé surprised fans on Tuesday by releasing a video for her song “Bodyguard,” which sees the Grammy-winning singer channeling actress Pamela Anderson. The video, released on Election Day, also urges people to vote in the 2024 presidential election.

The video – retitled “Beywatch” – depicts Beyoncé in a variety of settings, donning a red swimsuit styled like Anderson’s when she starred on the series, “Baywatch”.  Bey also channels Anderson’s look in the 1996 film “Barb Wire,” wearing a black dress and high boots, as well as the Pam’s outfit in the 1999 MTV Video Music Awards.

The Election Day message shown in the ‘Bodyguard’ visual comes more subtly, and appears when the singer pulls out a prop pistol which releases a flag that reads “Vote.”   Beyoncé had publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for president, speaking at a rally in the singer’s hometown of Houston late last month.

“Bodyguard” appears on Beyoncé’s country-themed album Cowboy Carter, which was released in March. The album features the singles “Texas Hold ‘Em,” “16 Carriages” and “II Most Wanted.”
