Tom Holland's Spider-Man storyline gets a fresh start with 'Brand new day' in 2026

Tom Holland’s next Spider-Man adventure is officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking a shift from the previous "Home" theme that defined his earlier films. The announcement came during CinemaCon, where director Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings shared his excitement for the project, calling himself a long-time fan of the web-slinger’s relatable struggles and humour.

Holland, currently filming elsewhere, sent a video message teasing the film’s direction. “We left you hanging with No Way Home’s cliffhanger,” he said, “but this is a clean slate. A real fresh start.” Cretton added that his team is deep in development, obsessing over everything from the suit design to swinging sequences, aiming to deliver something audiences haven’t seen before.

The title isn’t just a departure from tradition but it’s also a nod to a pivotal 2008 comic arc where Spider-Man’s identity was erased from public memory, a storyline that aligns with No Way Home’s ending, where Doctor Strange’s spell made the world forget Peter Parker. The original comics stirred debate by undoing Peter and Mary Jane’s marriage, leaving fans curious if the film will follow suit.

While casting details remain under wraps, rumours suggest Stranger Things Sadie Sink may join the franchise. Meanwhile, Holland is set to appear in Christopher Nolan’s star-studded epic The Odyssey before swinging back into the Spider suit.
