"A ride that we haven’t really seen before – Destin Daniel Cretton (The Hollywood Reporter)"

Washington, April 1

Sony Pictures has revealed the title of the highly anticipated fourth installment of the Spider-Man franchise, starring Tom Holland.

The film, titled 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day, ' is set to release in theaters on July 31, 2026.

The makers announced the same on their official social media handles.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the announcement was first made at CinemaCon on Monday, where director Destin Daniel Cretton took the stage to express his excitement about helming the project.

Cretton, who previously directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, revealed that he has been a lifelong fan of the character and is drawn to Peter Parker's "humor" and "messy humanity."

Tom Holland appeared in a video segment, thanking fans for their support and teasing that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is "a fresh start."

Cretton echoed this sentiment, calling the movie "a ride that we haven't really seen before," as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

The title, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', references a 2008 comic book storyline that takes place after a universe-altering event that causes everyone to forget who Spider-Man is.

This plot point is fitting, given the ending of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home', which saw the world forgetting Peter Parker's identity.

'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is written by Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, who previously penned 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.'

The film is part of Sony's ongoing partnership with Disney, which allows the character to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

So excited for this! Tom Holland is the perfect Spidey and I love that they're continuing the story from No Way Home. The title makes perfect sense with that ending. 2026 can't come soon enough! 🕷️

Not sure how I feel about the title choice. "Brand New Day" was a controversial comic arc that undid Peter's marriage. Hope they don't erase all his character development from the previous films.

Destin Cretton directing?? After what he did with Shang-Chi, this is going to be amazing! The MCU Spidey films just keep getting better. Also love that the same writers from No Way Home are returning.

I'm just happy we're getting more Spider-Man with Tom Holland. Dude was born to play this role. The fresh start angle could be really interesting if they do it right.

Excited but also nervous! The comic storyline was divisive, but if anyone can make it work, it's this creative team. Hoping we get more street-level Spidey action this time around 🤞

July 2026?? That's such a long wait! But if it means they're taking time to make it great, I'm all for it. Hope we get some casting news soon for new characters.
