To celebrate National Spider-Man Day, Sony Pictures is giving fans a glimpse at Tom Holland's new suit for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
This will mark the actor's fourth solo film after 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, 2019's Spider-Man: Far from Home, and 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, which saw the return of Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Destin Daniel Cretton.
"I’m obviously over the moon and so excited," Holland expressed about revisiting the role of Peter Parker on the Flip Your Wig. “Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal. And I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid; we shot the entire film on stages.”
He then revealed, "Now, we’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we’re starting in Glasgow and we’re gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece that we’re putting together. So it’s gonna feel like making Spider-Man 1 again. It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it, it’s gonna feel like a breath of fresh air, and I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we’re putting together."
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige opened up about this fresh chapter for the character during a roundtable interview, saying, "I think there’s a promise at the end of No Way Home, that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with — for lack of better terms — street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events."
Along with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon coming back, Jon Bernthal will be joining the cast as Frank Castle/The Punisher after being recently seen in Daredevil: Born Again.
"So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we’ve never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic. That great cover... I don’t want to say too much, but Destin — I will say too much — Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie," Feige shared. "And he’s got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool."
Liza Colón-Zayas and Sadie Sink have also been announced, but that's not all: according to The Hollywood Reporter, MCU veteran Mark Ruffalo and Michael Mando will be reprising their roles of Bruce Banner/The Hulk and Scorpion, respectively. Let the countdown to July 31, 2026, begin!
