Tom Holland’s fourth Spider-Man movie

Tom Holland is getting ready to don his Spidey suit again. The fourth instalment of the blockbuster series has been set for a July 2026 release, Sony Pictures said.

Daniel Destin Cretton, best known for helming Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, has also signed on to direct the still-untitled film. Jon Watts directed the previous three Holland-led Spider-Man films. Together, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home have made over $3.9 billion globally. The studio claimed July 24, 2026, for its theatrical release and plan to shoot next summer.

Holland told “Good Morning America” recently that the idea for the fourth film “is crazy.” “It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are going to really respond to it,” Holland said.

Metallica’s 2025 Australian stadium tour

Metallica have officially announced their return to Australia for 2025, after teasing future tour plans as recently as last month. The tour will be the band’s first visit to Australia since 2013, not to mention their first headlining tour since 2010. The five capital city dates are, reportedly, the only shows the American metal veterans will play, i.e. no second shows added at any venues.

Joining the band on the Australasian leg of their M72 world tour — in support of their 2023 album 72 Seasons — will be Evanescence and Suicidal Tendencies. The tour will mark Metallica’s first-ever time headlining stadiums in Australia.
