Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. The movie will once again be led by Tom Holland as he reprises his role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Emmy winner Zendaya and Jacob Batalo are also expected to return for the sequel. They will be joined by recently announced cast members Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), with Jon Bernthal (Daredevil: Born Again) as Frank Castle/Punisher. The movie is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, Avi Arad, and Louis D’Esposito.
The movie is currently scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 31, 2026, pitting it against no direct competition at the box office. However, it will still be debuting in the same month as other high-profile movies like the live-action Moana and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey adaptation.
