The character portrayed by Tom Holland in the Spider-Man series has clashed with the Avengers, battled tech-savvy villains, and aided in thwarting an invasion by a purple extraterrestrial. However, his most challenging fight wasn’t against any of these adversaries; it was the coronavirus pandemic. During 2020, Sony Pictures altered the release date for Spider-Man: No Way Home, initially slated for July 2021, to November 2021, and later postponed production from summer to a later period in the year. Once filming commenced on Atlanta’s sound stages, numerous COVID-19 precautions were implemented, impacting both the production process and postproduction. For instance, Thomas Haden Church’s Sandman and Rhys Ifans’ Lizard had limited roles primarily consisting of repurposed footage from 2007’s Spider-Man 3 and 2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: A Fresh Start, directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings‘s Destin Daniel Cretton, is preparing for a summer filming in Glasgow, Scotland. The inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher hints at a grittier Spider-Man narrative — one that will revisit real-world locations, as Tom Holland shared in a recent interview.
Tom Holland expressed his immense joy and excitement about the new Spider-Man movie, “No Way Home”. He said playing Spider-Man feels like catching up with an old friend. In the previous film, they were limited due to COVID-19 restrictions, but this time they’re going to embrace traditional filmmaking techniques more by shooting on real locations instead of stages. That’s why they’re beginning production in Glasgow.
Holland hinted that the city streets of Glasgow, which were also used for sections of Gotham City in the 2022 movie “The Batman,” will serve as a filming location for an extensive action scene in “Brand New Day.” Previously, Marvel filmed parts of “Avengers: Infinity War” (2018) and Sony’s “Kraven the Hunter” in Glasgow.
Speaking about returning to film “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” Holland expressed that it will be like enjoying a fresh breeze after such a long break from the project. He believes that fans will be thrilled by what they’ll see in the new production. The movie was filmed in Atlanta, serving as a stand-in for New York City in 2017.
Actress Sadie Sink, known for her role in “Stranger Things”, and Liza Colón-Zayas, star of “The Bear”, are rumored to be entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe in unspecified roles. Meanwhile, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who previously appeared alongside Tom Holland in the Spider-Man trilogy as Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson and Ned Leeds, respectively, are set to reprise their roles once more.
Jon Bernthal, who initially played vigilante Frank Castle on season 2 of Daredevil back in 2016 and later starred in two seasons of his own series The Punisher, reentered the Marvel Cinematic Universe this year with Daredevil: Born Again. In Brand New Day, Bernthal makes his big-screen debut as the character who first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man comic book issue #129 from 1974.
The film “Spider-Man: No Way Home” raked in an impressive $1.92 billion upon its release in December 2021, but the challenging circumstances caused by COVID-19 during production took a toll on director Jon Watts to the point where he decided to step away from the upcoming “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” movie.
In June, Watts conveyed that he felt “exhausted” due to the challenging experience of adhering to COVID protocols while simultaneously ensuring creativity, safety, and well-being for his cast and crew. He emphasized that the stakes were high as mistakes could have potentially been fatal, and the post-production process was particularly demanding.
In the process of creating visual effects for the movie “No Way Home”, Watts mentioned during the Mediterraneo Film Festival, there’s a global aspect involving vendors from various countries. However, due to COVID-19 disrupting the supply chain, it became quite challenging to carry out visual effects in a conventional manner.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to open in theaters July 31, 2026.
