Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man 4” Gets New Title Ahead of Production This Summer
Sony had a lot to reveal yesterday in Las Vegas at the annual CinemaCon gathering—the cast and release date for Sam Mendes’ four-part Beatles biopic, the release date for the trilogy-capping third film in the Spider-Verse franchise, and the new title for Tom Holland’s fourth spin as Spider-Man.
Peter Parker’s next live-action outing, to be directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton, is now officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is fitting considering the conclusion of Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Parker and his fellow Parker-pals (played, once again, by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield) restoring order to the multiverse but also re-setting the memories of people in Parker’s world, so that nobody remembered he was Spider-Man, or, even, that they love him. It was a bittersweet coda for Holland’s Parker, considering it meant losing, at least for now, the love of his life, Zendaya’s MJ.
Holland couldn’t be in Vegas for the presentation, but he sent a video to tease his fourth turn as Peter Parker.
“I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie,” said Holland, who’s currently filming with his longtime co-star Zendaya, Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, and more for Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. “I know we left you with a massive cliff hanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say.”

There are no plot details at present for Brand New Day, but we do know it’ll hit theaters on July 31, 2026, and that the filmmaking team is working hard to ensure that the story lives up to the killer trilogy capper that came before it.
“I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world,” Cretton said at CinemaCon. “We’re all just daily nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”
Cretton revealed that production begins this summer.
One major piece of speculation is that new cast member Sadie Sink will play the iconic X-Men character Jean Grey, previously played by Sophie Turner and Famke Janssen. What’s intriguing is a slew of previous X-Men performers from Janssen’s era are joining the MCU for Avengers: Doomsday—Patrick Stewart, James Marsden, Alan Cumming, Kelsey Grammer, and Ian McKellen. Doomsday arrives in theaters before Spider-Man: Brand New Day on May 1, 2026, and will have direct implications over what Cretton and his team have cooked up for Spidey, whoever Sink is playing (we’re guessing it’s Jean Grey), and more.
