Coming Soon: Spider-Man Next, Avengers: Doomsday Trailer, Fall Slate

Nolan’s The Odyssey is already #1 — now the slate turns to what opens next. From this Friday’s counterprogramming through December’s MCU tentpole, the calendar stays stacked with superhero spectacle, elevated horror, and franchise reboots.

What opens this Friday (July 24)?

Three notable titles land the same day:

• Motor City (Potsy Ponciroli) — Alan Ritchson’s near-silent Detroit revenge trip; Venice Spotlight alumnus.
• Her Private Hell (Nicolas Winding Refn) — Sophie Thatcher and Charles Melton in neon sci-fi horror from Neon.
• Pinocchio Unstrung (Rhys Frake-Waterfield) — fairy-tale slasher with Robert Englund.

What are the biggest movies still coming in 2026?

The next tentpole is Spider-Man: Brand New Day (July 31), Destin Daniel Cretton’s street-level MCU reset with Tom Holland. After that, the fall slate deepens — and winter brings the event film:

• Aug 14 — Flowervale Street (David Robert Mitchell): elevated suburban dread.
• Aug 21 — Insidious: The Further Beyond (Patrick Wilson).
• Sep 11 — Clayface (James Watkins): DC body-horror.
• Sep 18 — Resident Evil (Zach Cregger).
• Sep 25 — Trolls 4 (Walt Dohrn).
• Oct 9 — TMNT: Mutant Mayhem 2 (Jeff Rowe).
• Oct 10 — TRON: Ares (Joachim Rønning).
• Dec 18 — Avengers: Doomsday (Anthony and Joe Russo): the first full Avengers ensemble since Endgame; the July 20 trailer unveils Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, with Infinity Vision tickets already on sale.
• Dec 17, 2027 — Avengers: Secret Wars: Multiverse Saga closer.
• Feb 18, 2028 — The Batman Part II (Matt Reeves): Pattinson returns to Gotham.

What about TV — when is HBO’s Harry Potter series?

HBO’s Harry Potter lands Christmas Day 2026 — eight episodes on HBO / HBO Max, with Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alastair Stout as the new trio and John Lithgow as Dumbledore. Season 2 (Chamber of Secrets) is already ordered. Full cast, trailer context, and how it differs from the films: HBO Harry Potter series guide. Film library watch order: Harry Potter watch order.

Which coming-soon movie should you be most excited about?

For near-term scale, Spider-Man. For year-end scale, Doomsday. For director voice, Mitchell and Cregger. For pure style-or-bust, Refn’s Her Private Hell. None of the unreleased tentpoles has a final Celluloid Score yet; we’ll publish full ratings the moment each one opens.
