With several major productions having now gone back into production following a hiatus of several months, audiences are wondering when the rest of their beloved cinematic heroes will be returning to work. Well, one such hero is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’sSpider-Man, with the upcomingSpider-Man 3reportedly hoping to start production in September. If this holds true, that begs the question, what is happeneing with Tom Holland’sUnchartedmovie?
Thanks to an updatedSpider-Man 3talent grid, we now know that a somewhat vague date of September 2020 is the target for production to begin, however, Sony does not yet have a specific date locked down yet due to the ongoing uncertainty of the current situation. So, whilst the plan is for cameras to start rolling, andSpidey to start web-slinging againin a few month’s time, it is possible that this will not be the case.
Sony also hasUnchartedwaiting in the wings. The long-anticipated video game adaptation managed to get in one day of shooting before the world crisis shut everything down. It was reported in June that Sony planned to getUnchartedback up on its feet in July. There haven’t been any updates since. The original plan was to haveUnchartedfinished before Tom Holland suited back up as Spider-Man. With the world crisis spiking in the U.S. over July 4th weekend, many states are back on lockdown. And the Hollywood production schedule has been thrown into disarray yet again. So it’s anybody’s guess what will become ofUnchartedat the moment. Will it shoot first? Or will Sony now hold back and get Spider-Man going first?
Originally,Spider-Man 3was set for a release date of July 13, 2025, as part of the much-anticipated Phase 4 of theMCU. Due to the ongoing global circumstances, the entire Phase has now been dramatically reshuffled as a result ofBlack Widowbeing delayed to November 2020. Now, the plan is to haveSpider-Man 3swing into UK and US cinemas on June 13, 2025. The movie was supposed to begin filming this month, ahead of a premiere in the summer of next year, but, of course, this did not go ahead.
Whether or notSpider-Man 3keeps the November 2021 release date depends on a few factors, including whether or not production begins sooner rather than later. With each month that passes, the tighter the schedule becomes, making it more likely that there will be another adjustment to theMCU release schedule.
Not much is yet known aboutSpider-Man 3, but Tom Holland will of course be back as Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man, and he’ll be joined by Zendaya as MJ. Jacob Batalon will no doubt also be back as Peter’s best friend and confidante Ned, alongsideMarisa Tomei as Aunt May.
In the meantime, there are also severalSpider-Manrelated movies on the cinematic horizon, which have sadly suffered their own delays. The upcomingMorbiusis scheduled to be released on June 05, 2025, delayed from an original July 2020 release date due to current circumstances. Following Jared Leto’s Biochemist Michael Morbius, the movie finds Morbius attempting to cure himself of a rare blood disease. When his experiment goes wrong, he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead. The movie is being directed by Daniel Espinosa and stars Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson alongside Leto.
AlongsideMorbius, there is also the much-anticipatedVenomsequel,Venom: Let There Be Carnage, brings back Woody Harrelson as the murderous criminal Cletus Kasady, who appeared in a Venom post-credits scene. Kasady obtains his own symbiote, and together they become the evil supervillain Carnage. The movie is being directed by Andy Serkis from a screenplay by Kelly Marcel, and stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock/Venom alongside Woody Harrelson, Michelle Williams, Reid Scott, and Naomie Harris.Venom: Let There Be Carnageis scheduled to be released in the United States on August 16, 2025, delayed from an initial October 2020 release date due to the ongoing global situation.
