Spider-Man 4’s New Update Is Not What We Wanted to Hear

by

Be prepared, as Spider-Man is on his way! The upcoming film, “Spider-Man: Fresh Start,” originally planned for release in July 2026, might appear at a different time due to changes. During CinemaCon 2025 on April 5th, Sony Pictures CEO and director Destin Daniel Cretton revealed that “Fresh Start” would be the fourth solo Spider-Man film within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Tom Holland reprising his role as the web-slinger. Initially, “Fresh Start” was set to follow the MCU’s “Avengers: Doomsday,” which was scheduled for release in May 2026. However, recent reports suggest that Marvel Studios has decided to postpone both “Doomsday” and its sequel, “Avengers: Secret Wars,” from their initial May releases to December instead.

The change in the release date of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has stirred up worry among fans. If the sequel was intended to follow the events of “Doomsday,” and it’s now set to be released before the Avengers reunite, it could potentially leave Peter Parker in a precarious narrative position. However, it seems that there might be less reason for concern than initially thought. According to DanielRPK on X, he hinted that “There’s a good chance Spider-Man will be pushed back as well.

Information from internet movie leakers should always be viewed skeptically, as they may not have the inside information they claim to have. Regardless, if the information turns out to be accurate, it does have some basis in reality. The general consensus among Marvel Cinematic Universe fans is that the upcoming Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will likely explore the aftermath of Avengers: Doomsday. This could potentially delve into Battleworld, a concept introduced in comics during the Secret Wars. Given that release dates are being moved, it’s possible that Brand New Day will require a major rewrite, which could lead to a delay in its premiere.

It’s worth noting that “Brand New Day” is scheduled to hit cinemas in July 2026, but as of now, filming hasn’t started yet. This could potentially lead to some complications. However, it’s important to remember that “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which began shooting in July 2024, will be released in theaters nearly a year later. This shows that Marvel Studios can indeed create a high-quality film within a year’s time. Nevertheless, details about the cast for “Brand New Day” have been hard to come by, which isn’t exactly reassuring for Spider-Man’s upcoming adventure. Typically, the casting would be finalized a month or two before production begins, so we can expect Marvel and Sony to make announcements soon.

Apart from Tom Holland, only three other actors have been officially confirmed for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Zendaya is set to return as MJ (as reported by Deadline), Stranger Things breakout Sadie Sink will play an unspecified character, and Liza Colón-Zayas, known for her role in The Bear, has also been cast in a yet undisclosed part. Furthermore, there are whispers that Mark Ruffalo might be joining the crew as Bruce Banner, although this hasn’t been confirmed yet.

Will Spider-Man: Brand New Day Make its Projected Release Date?

It appears that the upcoming Spider-Man film titled “Brand New Day” might still be in pre-production. There hasn’t been a concrete start date announced, with only speculation about a summer release. This has sparked concerns about the movie meeting its intended release date in July 2026. Moreover, the leading actor of Brand New Day, Tom Holland, is currently busy filming for Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, and it remains unclear when he will complete work on that project. This potential delay could impact Holland’s availability for the Spider-Man production.

It seems more delays for the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” are becoming a possibility. Given the challenges of finalizing the cast, revising the script if necessary, and securing Tom Holland’s schedule within the tight timeline needed to meet the July 2026 release date, it appears quite unlikely. While unexpected events often occur in Tinseltown, recent focus on preventing overwork among visual effects artists and Marvel Studios’ commitment to reducing production speed could lead to a later release date for “Brand New Day”.

It’s unclear if the release of “Brand New Day” will happen before or after “Avengers: Doomsday”. Releasing it after “Doomsday” would alleviate pressure on studios and possibly prevent a reshaping of the movie’s plot. Interestingly, swapping release dates has happened before – initially, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” was set to come out before “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, but it actually released afterwards in 2022. So, there’s a possibility that history could repeat itself with the new Spider-Man sequel and another movie changing places.
