Spider-Man: Brand New Day Just Hit a Huge New Milestone

by

Filming has finished on the highly anticipated Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a major moment for Tom Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker and the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Multiverse Saga. Director Destin Daniel Cretton announced the wrap on Instagram, praising the film’s team. This movie is designed to refresh the Spider-Man story for a new generation, and is shaping up to be the most ambitious, large-scale Spider-Man film focused on street-level action ever created. It’s now entering post-production, with a planned release in July 2026.

This fourth movie essentially restarts Peter Parker’s story, focusing on what makes him fundamentally Peter Parker. After the events of No Way Home and a spell that wiped everyone’s memory of him, Peter is now completely unknown. He has no high-tech gadgets, no connections to the Avengers, and no friends to help him.

The movie takes cues from the Brand New Day comic series, focusing on Peter Parker’s attempt to juggle college life with being a hero in his local neighborhood. This approach presents a more grown-up and independent Peter, who must rediscover who he is while dealing with very personal dangers. Even before filming finished, the movie has broken franchise records, hinting at how innovative Peter Parker’s fourth solo film will be.

Milestones Spider-Man Brand New Day Has Hit So Far

First Spider-Man Movie to Receive a Fourth Film

For many years, Spider-Man movies in theaters seemed to struggle after the third installment. Both Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man series and the series starring Andrew Garfield ended after a third film was planned or released.

With the release of Brand New Day, Tom Holland is the first actor to star in four solo Spider-Man movies, solidifying his place as the most recognizable Spider-Man of today. This also makes Spider-Man the third MCU character to lead a four-film series, following Thor and Captain America.

The Multiverse Saga’s First True Sequel

I’m really excited about Spider-Man: Brand New Day! While the MCU has revisited characters like Doctor Strange, Black Panther, and Thor recently, those were all continuations of stories from the earlier ‘Infinity Saga.’ This new Spider-Man film feels different – it’s the first true sequel within the ‘Multiverse Saga,’ directly building on the amazing events of No Way Home which kicked things off during Phase 4. It’s a big moment because it makes Spider-Man the first superhero to get two solo movies within this new saga!

First Spider-Man Film to Feature a Primary Female Villain

Since the first Spider-Man movie in 2002, the villains have almost always been male. But the upcoming film, Brand New Day, looks to change that after a 24-year run. Although the movie will include familiar enemies like Scorpion and Tombstone, Marvel is keeping the identity of the primary female villain a closely held secret.

There’s been a lot of speculation about who the villain will be in the new movie. Right now, Madame Masque is a strong contender, especially after a photo from the set showed a woman with white hair who looked like her. Her connections to the criminal underworld would be a good fit for the film’s gritty, realistic tone. But some fans also think it could be Silver Sable, a mercenary who frequently clashes with Spider-Man.

First Spider-Man Film To Feature Hulk

The Spider-Man movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe are known for surprise appearances by popular heroes like Iron Man, Nick Fury, and Doctor Strange. Now, with the latest installment, Brand New Day, they’re adding another big name: Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.

For the first time ever, the Hulk will appear in a Spider-Man movie that focuses solely on Spider-Man’s story. While the two heroes have a long history of teaming up in comic books and cartoons, fans have been eager to see that dynamic play out on the big screen. This new film will finally bring that long-awaited interaction to life.
