From Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Odyssey: July’s Biggest Films You Can’t Miss

July 2026 may be the strongest month for cinema this year. Hollywood is fielding a franchise horror revival, a mythological epic, and the most anticipated MCU entry since No Way Home.

Bollywood counters with a female-led spy blockbuster and the return of its most chaotic comedy franchise. These five upcoming films are the ones worth your time this July.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

The crown jewel of the month arrives July 31. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker in the 38th MCU film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.

Fighting crime in a New York that no longer remembers him, Parker faces a dangerous physical transformation alongside a powerful new threat.

Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, and Mark Ruffalo round out the cast.

The Odyssey

Matt Damon stars as Odysseus in this sweeping Hollywood epic releasing July 17. The film is already being positioned as a heavyweight Oscar contender.

Built for the biggest screen available, this is the prestige theatrical event of the July Hollywood calendar.

Evil Dead Burn

The sixth entry in the Evil Dead franchise arrives in theatres on July 10, directed by Sébastien Vaniček.

The film follows a grieving widow whose family transforms into Deadites one by one at a secluded family home. Produced by Sam Raimi, this Hollywood horror entry is reportedly the most savage and technically ambitious the franchise has attempted.

Dhamaal 4

Director Indra Kumar reunites Arshad Warsi and Riteish Deshmukh with Ajay Devgn, Anil Kapoor, and Madhuri Dixit for another slapstick treasure hunt.

This fourth Bollywood installment is bigger, louder, and more outrageous than its predecessors. Releasing July 10, it sets the tone for a month of cinematic excess.

Alpha

Landing July 3, this is the biggest Bollywood release of the month.

The first female-led chapter in the YRF Spy Universe pairs Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as elite operatives on a global mission, with Bobby Deol as the antagonist.

Director Shiv Rawail has built a film designed to redraw the boundaries of Bollywood action cinema.
