Happy Spider-Man Day! It’s a thing apparently!
And to celebrate the occasion, Marvel Studios has released the very first teaser for the fourth movie in its Tom Holland-led series, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Emphasis on the “tease.”
We’re less than a year away from the return of Peter Parker, and while the teaser may not provide a ton of information, there’s plenty we already know about the sequel.
So here’s a rundown of everything out there about Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Brand New what?
Breaking with the naming convention of including the word “Home” in the title, the fourth MCU Spider-Man movie takes its name from a divisive 2008 comic book storyline, which saw Peter’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson erased from the timeline—among other retcons.
But since the events of No Way Home already futzed with the memory of this universe’s MJ, there’s some of that title’s DNA baked into the film’s status quo from the jump.
Who is in it?
Brand New Day will see the return of Holland in his fourth standalone movie and seventh MCU film overall. Also returning are Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned. Joining the cast is the current on-screen Punisher, Jon Bernthal, The Bear‘s Liza Colón-Zayas, and Sadie Sink in a mystery role that’s already fueled many hair-color-related fan theories.
Following the release of the teaser, The Hollywood Reporter shared that Mark Ruffalo has joined to cast, bringing the Incredible Hulk into the fold. Also appearing will be Better Call Saul‘s Michael Mando, who first showed up in Spider-Man: Homecoming as the Scorpion.
Who’s directing?
After successfully helming Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Destin Daniel Cretton was all set to take on the next Avengers film: The Kang Dynasty. And if you’ve been paying any attention at all to Marvel news or celebrity legal headlines, you know what happened to that.
So with the Russo Brothers returning to tackle that film’s new incarnation, Avengers: Doomsday, Cretton has moved over to Brand New Day, and according to Holland, he’s bringing with him a more tactile approach to filmmaking after COVID kept No Way Home largely confined to soundstages.
“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,” Holland told Flip Your Wig. “So it’s gonna feel like making [Spider-Man: Homecoming] 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.”
Is there a teaser?
Nine whole seconds of one! Released to mark the anniversary of Spider-Man’s first appearance in Amazing Fantasy #15, the clip gives some fleeting, close-up looks at what’s presumably Spidey’s brand new suit for Brand New Day.
The most notable detail is the raised black webbing on the red section of the costume, which is very reminiscent of the suit worn by Tobey Maguire in Sam Raimi’s trilogy.
When does it come out?
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently slated to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
