Tom Holland returns in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ for July 2026

Sony and Marvel collaborate on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth MCU installment starring Tom Holland.

The wait for the next Spider-Man adventure is nearly over. Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have confirmed Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release on July 31, 2026. This fourth installment will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who famously helmed Shang-Chi.

The film features a massive cast that bridges various corners of the MCU. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker, alongside Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned. Most notably, Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher, while Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk will also make an appearance. Rumors suggest the plot follows Peter as he balances a "fresh start" at college with a rising gang war in New York City, pitting him against new street-level threats while he remains forgotten by his closest allies.

Robert Downey Jr. returns as MCU gears up for ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ production

The Russo Brothers are set to direct the pivotal film featuring the debut of Victor von Doom in the Avengers: Doomsday storyline.

Marvel Studios is officially moving into high gear for what is being described as its most ambitious crossover since Endgame. According to sources close to the production, filming for Avengers: Doomsday is slated to begin this March in the United Kingdom, marking a massive shift in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) trajectory.

The production has recently expanded its scope, with veteran cinematographer Newton Thomas Sigel joining the crew. The narrative pivot from the "Kang" storyline to Victor von Doom has necessitated significant script rewrites by Stephen McFeely. Inside sources suggest that the "Doomsday" subtitle isn't just for show; the plot reportedly involves a "collision of realities" that will serve as a direct lead-in to Secret Wars. Robert Downey Jr.’s involvement is said to be more than a mere cameo, with the actor reportedly undergoing extensive prosthetic tests to perfect the iconic mask-clad look of the Latverian dictator.
