It is no secret that Tom Holland is going to make a return as Spider-Man for the upcoming Spider-Man 4 movie, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will take place after the events we saw unfold in No Way Home. Now that no one remembers Peter Parker, it could mean that this movie has the opportunity to build something brand new out of the character. If you are excited about Spidey’s return, here is everything we know about Spider-Man 4 so far.
What Is the Release Date of Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Spider-Man 4 is easily one of the most sought-after movies following the release of Fantastic Four: First Steps. The release date of the upcoming movie was revealed at Cinemacon 2025, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release on July 31, 2026.
Now, fans are understandably a bit skeptical about where Spider-Man is headed next, especially since Tom Holland hasn’t been officially confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday yet. But honestly, I think the answer to that might be tucked neatly inside Spider-Man: Brand New Day itself. With all the multiversal buildup and the growing importance of street-level heroes in the MCU, this movie could very well set the stage for what role Peter Parker is going to play moving forward. So for now, it’s all eyes on Brand New Day to drop the clues.
Is There a Trailer or Teaser for Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Yes, Sony has recently released the first teaser for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, giving us the first look at the Spidey suit and web shooters. The short clip does not reveal anything about the plot of the movie, and only shows the suit in a close-up shot.
Moreover, a new clip was released recently displaying BTS shots of Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s filming. Multiple clips from Spider-Man: Brand New Day have surfaced, displaying what appears to be a combat sequence where Spider-Man is trying to stop an armored vehicle.
What Could Be the Plot of Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
While the filming of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already underway, Marvel is doing what Marvel does best: keeping us completely in the dark when it comes to plot details. That said, a few key pieces have made it through the secrecy filter. We know The Punisher and The Hulk will both be making appearances, and at some point, the two are set to square off, briefly, but intensely.
And let’s not forget, in the current state of the MCU, no one remembers who Peter Parker is anymore, which means we’re likely heading into a very different version of Spider-Man, one that’s more isolated, more grounded, and maybe even a little rough around the edges. So, until Marvel decides to spill the beans, all we can do is sit tight and see how this new chapter unfolds.
Who Will be the Villain in Spider-Man 4?
Now, this is where things get interesting. Spider-Man: Brand New Day reportedly brings us an entire cavalry of villains, and as of now, we have recently received confirmation for one of them. There are rumors that the main antagonist of Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be Mister Negative, but as of now, there is no confirmation from Marvel or Sony on that front.
However, we do have a confirmation that Michael Mando will be appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Scorpion after appearing briefly in the post-credit scene of Homecoming. So, the hype around this upcoming movie is quite understandable.
Who Is the Spider-Man 4 Director?
Initially, John Watts was speculated to be directing Spider-Man 4 since he was going to direct Fantastic Four, but later on, he stepped down from the movie, stating that he needed a break from superhero movies. However, now Marvel has confirmed that the director of Shang-Chi, Destin Daniel Cretton, will direct Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set Photos
At this point, we are all aware that the filming of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is at full swing, and while we are awaiting a trailer or some footage as it wraps up, there are certain behind the scenes images that have surfaced via Tom Holland himself and other people who were present during the filming of the upcoming movie. Holland posted the said pictures on his Instagram handle, while the others can be seen on X from multiple sources.
An entire montage of images and a video from X user Xanadulinda featured Tom Holland in his new Spider-Man suit. However, the one thing common in all the BTS images is the filming of this particular scene, where Spider-Man seems to be trying to stop a tank.
Another insane BTS image has surfaced courtesy of Spider-Man Brand New Day Updates, showing Spider-Man perched heroically on top of what looks like a car, surrounded by a massive crowd, and honestly, the image goes ridiculously hard. It’s a striking reminder of just how much of an icon Spider-Man really is, not just in-universe but in the real world too.
Alongside this, several behind-the-scenes videos have popped up via TheJamofSteel, giving us a taste of the practical effects being used in Brand New Day. These clips show Spidey swinging through the streets and sitting on the car mid-chase, and the use of real stunts here is genuinely refreshing. It looks like Marvel is going all in on bringing that classic street-level Spider-Man energy back to the big screen
Fans speculate that in images featuring the said tank, The Punisher is driving it, causing havoc in the city as he fights the Hulk, and Spider-Man is trying to stop him, but the truth will only come to light once we have a trailer for Brand New Day. So, what do you guys think is happening over here? Let us know in the comments.
