Tom Holland says ‘Spider-Man 4' will be a ‘breath of fresh air' after Covid forced last movie to be shot on sound stages
In a recent interview for 'Flip Your Wig,' Holland explained the new film – the fourth in the MCU series, titled 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' – will be a return to form for the franchise after the Covid-19 pandemic hampered the filmmaking team's abilities with the last entry, 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.'
'I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid. We shot the entire film on stages,' Holland said. 'Now we're really going to lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations.'
He added that one of those locations will be Glasgow, Scotland, where production will soon be starting.
'We are going to use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together,' he teased.
Holland also said that 'playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal,' and that filming the next entry is 'going to feel like making 'Spider-Man 1' (2017's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming') again.'
'It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together.'
While Holland acknowledged that there were some creative challenges in making 'No Way Home,' those certainly did not impact the film's massive box office success – the third film in the franchise ended up grossing $1.9 billion worldwide.
That surely had to do with the fact that the movie welcomed back the actors who portrayed Peter Parker a.k.a. Spider-Man in the previous two franchises, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is slated for release in summer 2026.

Tom Holland says ‘Spider-Man 4' will be a ‘breath of fresh air' after Covid forced last movie to be shot on sound stages
Tom Holland is 'over the moon' to soon be slinging webs again as everyone's favorite neighborhood Spider-Man, but he's 'so excited' about the next sequel for a particular reason. In a recent interview for 'Flip Your Wig,' Holland explained the new film – the fourth in the MCU series, titled 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' – will be a return to form for the franchise after the Covid-19 pandemic hampered the filmmaking team's abilities with the last entry, 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.'

Marvel Plans to Recast X-Men, Tony Stark after "Secret Wars"
Yara Sameh A new X-Men and an all-new Tony Stark are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a wide-ranging conversation with press on Saturday , Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige confirmed that the company will introduce a new cast for the mutants in its upcoming 'X-Men' movie, directed by Jake Schreier ('Thunderbolts*'), following the events of 2027's 'Avengers: Secret Wars,'. Many actors who starred in the 'X-Men' movies of the 2000s and 2010s are reprising those roles in 2026's 'Avengers: Doomsday,' including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romijn, James Marsden, and Kelsey Grammer. In future films, the X-Men characters who appeared in previous movies will be played by new actors, along with mutants making their big screen debut. The decision echoes changes in the composition of the Marvel comics following the 2015 'Secret Wars' storyline, which involved multiple timelines collapsing and re-converging, mixing up the characters of the main Marvel timeline in the process. 'We're utilizing that [story] not just to round out the stories we've been telling post-'Endgame,' just as importantly — and you can look at the at the 'Secret Wars' comics for where that takes you — it very, very much sets us up for the future,' Feige said. ''Endgame,' literally, was about endings. 'Secret Wars' is about is about beginnings.' Feige, however, was also careful not to label the changes as a 'reboot,' instead, the executive said 'Secret Wars' will serve as a 'reset' for the MCU. 'Reboot is a scary word,' he said. 'Reboot can mean a lot of things to a lot of people. Reset, singular timeline — we're thinking along those lines.' Later, he added, ''X-Men' is where that will happen next.' Feige noted that the X-Men comics, with their focus on Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, naturally centered on stories about adolescent characters. 'They have been a place to tell stories about young people who feel different and who feel Other and who feel like they don't belong,' he said. 'That's the universal story of mutants, and that is where we're going.' Even more intriguingly, the executive also indicated that other Marvel characters will eventually be recast, including its most iconic roles, like Tony Stark and Steve Rogers. He pointed to many other major film franchises that have done the same thing, multiple times over. 'Amy Pascal and David Heyman are now searching for a new James Bond,' Feige noted, referring to the producers of Amazon MGM's upcoming Bond film. 'David [Corenswet], the new Superman — he was awesome. That will always be the case.' Feige acknowledged that stars who've retired their original MCU roles like Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans have made it difficult to imagine anyone else in their characters' shoes. But it isn't an impossible task. 'I think it's hard for anybody to do that when an actor has done such a great role,' he said. 'How are they going to ever replace Sean Connery [as James Bond], right?'. At least two legacy actors may still appear in the MCU, as well. Asked about his plans for a follow-up to Marvel's 2024 blockbuster 'Deadpool & Wolverine' with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, Feige, in typical fashion, made no definitive statements, but also did not close off any possibilities. 'I think there is more fun to be had with both of those characters,' he said. 'But we'll see where.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs

"Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" Release Delayed by 3 Weeks
Yara Sameh Spider-Man fans will have to wait just a little bit longer for 'Beyond the Spider-Verse.' The third installment in Sony's popular web-slinging animated trilogy has shifted its release date back by three weeks, from June 4, 2027 to June 25, 2027. Studio insiders tell Variety the move was made to capitalize on school-aged moviegoers — 100% of schools in the U.S. will be on summer break by the new date, as opposed to only 65% on June 4. 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' is the conclusion to a trilogy that began with 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse' and continued with 2023's 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.' Bob Persichetti and Justin K. Thompson serve as directors for 'Beyond the Spider-Verse.' The screenplay is scripted by 'Spider-Verse' creators Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, alongside David Callaham. Lord and Miller will also produce with Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Jinko Gotoh. Aditya Sood and Christina Steinberg are executive producing while Jessica Berri will serve as co-producer. At CinemaCon in March, Lord told the audience that the threequel would begin with protagonist Miles Morales as a fugitive on the run from every other spider in the multiverse, and hinted that 'Gwen and his other friends may or may not be enough to help him save the family that's been the leading part of the entire system.' 'Into the Spider-Verse' took home the Oscar for best animated feature at the 91st Academy Awards, and 'Across the Spider-Verse' landed a nod in the same category. The first entry grossed $384 million globally in addition, while the sequel raked in a mighty $690 million. Sony also added the animated comedy 'Buds' to the schedule for March 12, 2027 from Sony Pictures Animation. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
