The cinematic journey of Peter Parker is set to continue with the next installment in the Spider-Man franchise, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The movie, which marks the fourth part in the Tom Holland-led Spider-Man series, will begin filming this summer. This exciting announcement was made by the movie’s director, Destin Daniel Cretton, during CinemaCon 2025.
Tom Holland’s Involvement and Key Cast Members
Tom Holland, who has gained a reputation for unintentionally leaking spoilers, appeared via a pre-recorded message at CinemaCon. In his message, he mentioned that he couldn’t attend the event in person as he is currently filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. However, he acknowledged the massive cliffhanger at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home and assured fans that Brand New Day would be a fresh start for Peter Parker.
Additionally, the movie will see the return of Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds. One of the biggest surprises was the announcement of Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) joining the cast, with strong speculation that she might play X-Men’s Jean Grey or another pivotal character.
The Meaning Behind ‘Brand New Day’
The title Brand New Day is inspired by a storyline from The Amazing Spider-Man comics (issues #546 to #564). In the comics, this storyline follows the events of One More Day, where Peter Parker makes a deal with Mephisto to erase his marriage with Mary Jane Watson and wipe everyone’s memory of his identity. This leads to Peter starting anew in a world where no one remembers that he is Spider-Man. Given that No Way Home ended with everyone forgetting Peter Parker, it makes sense for the new movie to be titled Brand New Day.
Possible Plot and Villains
While the exact plot remains under wraps, the storyline will likely be different from the comic arc. However, some elements could be adapted, including:
- Spider-Man missing for 100 days, creating a vacuum in New York’s crime-fighting scene.
- Mr. Negative as the main villain, a crime lord aiming to take over the city.
- A new superhero named Jackpot appearing in Spider-Man’s absence.
Interestingly, Brand New Day will be released after Avengers: Doomsday, which suggests that the movie will tie into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) Multiverse Saga. There are also rumors that Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Men might make an appearance, along with Michael Keaton’s Vulture and Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.
Will Sadie Sink Play Jackpot Instead of Jean Grey?
Although early speculation pointed to Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey, her casting as Jackpot seems more likely. In the Brand New Day comic storyline, Jackpot is a red-haired superhero who takes over in Spider-Man’s absence. This aligns perfectly with Sadie Sink’s appearance and acting prowess. However, Marvel has not officially confirmed her role yet.
Future Spider-Man Titles and What to Expect
In previous Tom Holland Spider-Man movies, the word “Home” was a recurring theme in the titles (Homecoming, Far From Home, No Way Home). Now, it seems like “Day” will be the new pattern. This opens up possibilities for future titles like:
- One More Day
- Having a Bad Day
- Mayday
- Tuesday Blues
Additionally, the movie’s logo appears to be heavily inspired by the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series from Disney XD, further hinting at the direction of the film.
Release Date and Expectations
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release on July 31, 2026. With Tom Holland’s Peter Parker getting a fresh start, the movie will explore new adventures in the MCU’s post-multiverse era. The combination of a grounded story, a strong villain, and potential multiverse connections makes Brand New Day one of the most anticipated Marvel movies of the decade.
