Spider-Man 4 will open in theaters on May 6, 2011.

According to Variety, Columbia Pictures confirmed that the fourth installment in the comicbook franchise, based on the popular Marvel character, will open in both traditional and Imax theaters on the date, making it the first summer tentpole film that year.

The date had previously been held by another superhero film, Marvel Studios' planned launch of "The First Avenger: Captain America," before it moved to July 22, 2011.
Marvel will also launch "Thor" that summer, on June 17.

“Spider-Man 4” will reunite director Sam Raimi with franchise stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Gary Ross is writing the script.

The previous three films have generated more than $2.5 billion in worldwide box office.
