Expect to see Tom Holland in IMAX in 2026 - just not in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Tom Holland's Next Spider-Man Won't Premiere in IMAX

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey appears to have secured the majority of IMAX theaters that were initially expected to screen Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This development is bittersweet for fans of Tom Holland.

Biggest Movie of 2026 in IMAX

While Tom Holland’s upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to be highly successful financially, it will not lead the pack in terms of screen size. Recent reports indicate the film will forgo an IMAX release.

IMAX Scheduling Clash

According to a November 2 article from M9 News, The Odyssey, set for release on July 17, will dominate IMAX theaters. As a result, Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios decided not to pursue an IMAX run for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which premieres two weeks later.

"Unlike Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Nolan's Odyssey is said to be specially filmed for the IMAX experience, which could explain much of the studio's decision to take a step back."
Marvel's Usual Dominance Challenged

In a time when Marvel films typically command major exhibition slots, it is notable that a Nolan film has taken precedence over a fourth installment in the MCU's Spider-Man series.

Overall, while Tom Holland fans can still look forward to the movie, the IMAX experience will be reserved for Nolan’s epic The Odyssey.

Author’s summary: Tom Holland’s 2026 Spider-Man film will skip IMAX theaters to make way for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, specially optimized for the format.
