Since Tom Holland took over the role of Peter Parker, Sony Pictures has now completed initial production on 11 Spider-Man movies. Spider-Man is still Sony Pictures' biggest IP, as the studio still has big plans for the web-slinger in the foreseeable future. While many of these projects exist in their own universes under Sony's watch, this also includes the work the studio has done bringing Spider-Man into the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures completed initial production and filming for 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In a lengthy Instagram caption, director Destin Daniel Cretton thanked his cast and crew for the work they put into the movie, singling out star Tom Holland for his "kind, generous leadership on and off screen" and "relentless work ethic." He concluded the post by saying, "That's a wrap" on the MCU's fourth Spider-Man movie:
"I'm so deeply grateful for the people who walked with me through the biggest, most rewarding film I've ever been a part of. To @nik__ki , for laughing through the insanity and carrying our entire family on your back. To my kids, for forcing me to put my phone down and get out of my head long enough to build a fort in the living room with couch cushions. To our amazing cast, for breathing so much life into these beloved characters and moving us every day. To our unbelievable crew, who worked tirelessly with unmatched creativity and craftsmanship, who made me laugh so hard my stomach never stopped hurting. I love you all so much and can't wait for the world to see your stunning work on the big screen. And of course, to @tomholland2013 , for your kind, generous leadership on and off screen, for your relentless work ethic, your fearless performances, and for your friendship. That's a wrap on 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'!"
After filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicked off in late July 2025, this update confirms the end of a five-month filming schedule for the MCU sequel. This gives Sony and Marvel seven months to finish the necessary post-production work before the film is ultimately released in theaters.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be the fourth Spider-Man movie released in the MCU and the franchise's third theatrical release of Phase 4. Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Michael Mando, Jon Bernthal, and Mark Ruffalo, the story will show Peter Parker operating as Spider-Man and working to rebuild his identity after Doctor Strange's spell forced the world to forget about his existence. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.
