<em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day</em>: What We Know So Far

With Spider-Man: Brand New Day set to introduce Peter Parker’s next chapter, the long-awaited follow-up will finally continue the story left hanging in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton spoke about the upcoming project at CinemaCon in March 2025. “I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world,” he said, per Marvel.com. “We’re all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”

Filming has been underway since August 2025, and Tom Holland is set to reprise his beloved leading role. On Sept. 21, 2025, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that production on the Marvel feature stopped temporarily after Holland suffered a mild concussion on set. But filming resumed the following week, after the actor shared that he was “on the mend” in an Instagram post.

The fourth installment of Holland’s solo Spider-Man franchise will hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

In an April 2026 interview with GQ, Holland hinted that the movie hasn’t completed filming yet, and added that shooting the movie has been “really, really fun.”

“I can positively say that the stuff we’re doing, we don’t need,” he explained. “The movie works and sings as it is. We’re just adding the icing on the cake in certain areas. We’re finding some ways to add a little bit more humor. We’re layering in a villain plotline in a new way and some really fun stuff.”

In Brand New Day, it seems that Parker will try to move forward in the aftermath of No Way Home.

Holland hinted at the events of the new film in a pre-recorded video played at CinemaCon in April 2025. “I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say,” Holland teased, per Entertainment Weekly.

In addition to Holland, returning cast members include Zendaya as Michelle “MJ” Jones, Jacob Batalon as Ned, and Michael Mando as Mac Gargan/Scorpion, who first appeared in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.

One newcomer who’s been generating buzz is Stranger Things star Sadie Sink. While Marvel has kept quiet about her role, her casting immediately ignited speculation online, especially because of her signature red hair.

Sink played coy when asked about the theories surrounding her character in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “A lot of people forget that hair color can change, but yeah, I understand all of the theories,” she told the publication in November. Still, she offered no clues about who she’ll portray. “People will just have to wait and see,” she added. “I’m excited for all of it to maybe be put to rest.”

Other confirmed castmates, who are either new to the Marvel Cinematic Universe or just breaking into Holland’s solo franchise, include:

• Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner and his alter ego, The Hulk—a veteran in the MCU, but a fresh recruit in the latest Spider-Man film series.
• Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, who previously appeared in Netflix’s Daredevil series as well as the Disney+ shows The Punisher and Daredevil: Born Again.
• Marvin Jones III as Lonnie Lincoln/Tombstone, who was voiced by Jones in the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
• The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas, whose role has not been revealed yet.
• Severance’s Tramell Tillman, who dodged a question about his classified character in an October interview with Variety. “Well, you know, I can’t say too much about that. I am enjoying my time filming Spider-Man,” he said.
• Wynonna Earp star Melanie Scrofano, who confirmed her casting in an Instagram post without sharing information about her part.

Deadline reported on April 14, 2026, that a clip of the movie was shown at CinemaCon. Before the clip came on, Holland appeared in a pre-taped message. He noted that the movie is “big and fun and cool…the most emotional Spider-Man, and in some ways, the most grown up.”

Meanwhile, Sony’s Tom Rothman called the film “as big as anything we’ve ever made,” though it feels “like nothing we’ve ever made,” adding that it is Holland’s “finest performance.”

Yes! The official trailer for the movie arrived on Wednesday, March 18. In it, Peter Parker grapples with seeing MJ move on without him and struggles with his physical abilities.

“Hi, my name is Peter Parker,” Holland narrates the trailer. “You don’t remember me, but we used to know each other. Something bad was going to happen, and the only way to stop it was to make everyone forget about me, because I’m not just Peter Parker. I’m Spider-Man. But sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, even if it breaks Peter’s heart.”

Peter isn’t just nursing a broken heart, either—his spider abilities are put to the test as he finds himself between cycles, making him vulnerable in the process. Peter asks for help from Dr. Banner and appears to have some allies left, but is faced with threat after threat before he restores his full power.

Watch the full trailer below.

Sony later released a second trailer in June 2026, offering a closer look at Peter’s struggles as his powers begin behaving unpredictably. The footage also provides the first official glimpse of Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner and Hulk in the film.
