Sony has officially revealed the title of Tom Holland’s highly anticipated Spider-Man 4 — Spider-Man: Brand New Day — and confirmed its theatrical release on July 31, 2026. Director Destin Daniel Cretton, best known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, took the stage at CinemaCon to discuss the film, calling it “a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”
Holland, appearing in a video message, thanked fans for their continued support and described the new installment as “a fresh start.” The title itself is a nod to a controversial 2008 comic storyline in which Peter Parker’s identity is erased from public memory after a universe-altering event — closely mirroring the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The film will be penned by Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, the writing duo behind No Way Home, and marks a significant moment in the ongoing Sony-Disney collaboration that has allowed Spider-Man to remain part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Sony also shared exciting updates about the animated side of the Spider-Man franchise, confirming that Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse will hit theaters on June 4, 2027. The third entry in the Spider-Verse trilogy follows Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), both of which were massive box office hits.
Filmmaker Phil Lord, alongside co-directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson, emphasised their commitment to ensuring the finale meets fan expectations. “We just could not run it back,” Lord said, explaining that they needed more time to craft a satisfying conclusion. He assured audiences that the final chapter would be “a massive finale to the trilogy.”
CinemaCon attendees were treated to an exclusive first look at Beyond the Spider-Verse. The footage showcased the franchise’s signature animation style and revealed that Miles Morales is now a fugitive, hunted by other Spider-People across the multiverse. The teaser also hinted at tensions between Miles and his allies, including Gwen Stacy, as he insists on writing his own story rather than following a predetermined fate.
Spider-Man fans have plenty to look forward to in the coming years.
