Recent fan artwork has sparked hope that the next Spider-Man movie will focus on street-level stories in New York City, keeping Peter Parker’s adventures grounded. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – the last time was in Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), where he teamed up with Spider-Men from different universes to fight classic villains. As we look forward to his return in July 2026, fans are wondering if the story will continue to explore the multiverse, or if it will take a more personal and localized direction.
Look, the last Spider-Man film really leaned into the whole multiverse thing, and honestly, a lot of us are craving something a little more… down to earth for the next one. I’ve seen a fantastic new fan poster circulating on Instagram – shared by @elilusionista.cl and @gonzalezprostudio – and it gives me exactly what I want to see. It shows Spider-Man facing off against the Hulk on top of a police car, with hints of the Punisher and Kingpin lurking in the background. It feels like a classic, street-level Spider-Man story, and frankly, it’s got me incredibly excited for where they might take the next sequel. It’s a brilliant piece of art that captures the vibe perfectly!
Why Would a Grounded Story Be Perfect for Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Many fans consider Spider-Man: No Way Home to be the ultimate Spider-Man movie dealing with the multiverse, making it a tough act to follow. A potential sequel might be best served by avoiding multiverse storylines for now. Instead, the next film could pick up where No Way Home left off, focusing on Peter Parker after Doctor Strange’s spell erased everyone’s memories of him. This would allow us to see a more mature, anonymous, and grounded Spider-Man – a true ‘Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ – as envisioned in a Brand New Day storyline.
While Spider-Man is known for his multiversal stories in Marvel comics, the direction of Brand New Day feels more focused on personal narratives. Cretton has a talent for directing both large-scale and emotionally resonant action, and fans are eager to see his vision for Spider-Man. The return of characters like the Punisher and Bruce Banner in Spider-Man: Brand New Day suggests a more mature and realistic tone for the franchise, and positions this era of Spider-Man as central to the MCU’s gritty, street-level stories.
Before the massive, reality-bending events of Avengers: Doomsday in December 2026, Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers a moment of peace. Doomsday will begin the wrap-up of the Multiverse Saga, culminating in Avengers: Secret Wars a year later. That year promises to be filled with stories heavily focused on the multiverse. Essentially, Spider-Man: Brand New Day can serve as a quiet prelude, offering a more grounded story before Marvel Studios dives into its biggest, most fantastical adventures.
