Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set Photos Spoil Zendaya’s Return

by

Information about potential plot points in the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” set for release in 2026, has been circulating due to leaked set photos. One of these images appears to hint at Zendaya’s character and her involvement in the film. Since the events of “No Way Home” in 2021, Spider-Man has been out of action on the big screen, except for some animated appearances. This hiatus followed a significant reset for Peter Parker, who wished that everyone would forget him to prevent a multiversal disaster. As a result, he lost all his friends, his girlfriend, and his entire history and life, making a selfless and painful sacrifice.

There’s been speculation about whether Peter Parker will move on from MJ. Could a new love interest be introduced? While it’s still unclear, there are strong rumors suggesting that Zendaya will reprise her role as MJ, possibly alongside Ned Leeds, in a more limited capacity compared to past Spider-Man movies. The exact roles they’ll play in the upcoming film, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” aren’t clear yet, but recent set photos seem to confirm Zendaya’s return as MJ.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set Photos Leak MJ’s Return

Photographs of the latest set have been shared by TikTok user justbuzz.exe, who noticed filming taking place in Glasgow. Although numerous set photos for Spider-Man: A Fresh Start have primarily focused on large action sequences involving tanks and police vehicles, this one appears to depict Peter Parker visiting Aunt May’s grave. The images show Tom Holland standing with Zendaya, who seems to be holding a dog leash in one hand. Some fans speculate that she was there merely as his fiancée, but her attire hints at MJ being present. She wears her hair in a similar style and is dressed in clothing reminiscent of MJ, suggesting that she may be portraying the character rather than just paying a visit.

Given that Dune 3 is currently in production and Zendaya is expected to play a significant role in it, filming her Spider-Man scenes might be more practical now instead of waiting. Some fans theorize that the scene being filmed could approach the end of the movie, as Peter Parker seems injured and beaten. This sequence could resemble a scene from No Way Home’s conclusion where Happy Hogan visits Aunt May’s grave without recognizing Peter. In this potential scenario, MJ might recall May but not recognize Peter himself, due to his altered state or disguise.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release on July 31st, 2026.
