Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, hitting theaters July 31, 2026. The fourth solo MCU film finds Parker four years older, forgotten by the world, and facing a new threat that transforms his powers.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton steers the franchise forward with a story that feels different from the previous three films.

Parker’s New Life

After the events of No Way Home, the world forgot Peter Parker exists. For four years, he’s worked alone to protect New York City. Now an adult facing genuine stakes, his Spider-Man powers begin changing in ways he doesn’t understand.

The film leans into what it means to be Spider-Man when nobody knows who you are.

The Cast and Crew

Zendaya returns as MJ. Sadie Sink plays a role in Parker’s new chapter. Mark Ruffalo appears as Bruce Banner, connecting the web to the broader MCU. Jon Bernthal joins as Frank Castle, the character known as Punisher.

The ensemble suggests this film ties directly into Marvel’s larger plans.

This Spider-Man feels like the story Marvel needed to tell after three films that relied heavily on nostalgia and celebrity appearances.
