Tom Holland kicks off 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' shooting; a look at Day 1
Los Angeles [US], August 4 (ANI): Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is officially swinging back to the screens. The actor recently took to Instagram to confirm that shooting for the film has begun. Tom Holland shared pictures of himself dressed in the brand new Spidey suit in the BTS moments. He could be seen discussing a sequence with the team while standing on top of what appears to be military-like machinery with a stunt wire attached to his body. 'Spider-Man Brand New Day 1,' the actor wrote in the caption. Fans couldn't hold back their excitement as many took to the comment section and cheered for the latest development. Some even expressed curiosity about Holland's new costume. The makers recently dropped the first-look glimpse of the superhero suit, with a visible raised black webbing against a bright red-and-blue cover. Shortly after, Tom Holland gave fans a clearer look at his Spider-Man costume. 'We ready?' he said in the teaser video as he seems to be on the sets of the film, sporting a more classic Spider-Man ensemble that resembled those of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. 'Brand New Day' marks the fourth instalment in the MCU's Spider-Man franchise, featuring Tom Holland in the titular role. His journey as Peter Parker began with 2017's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and then moved forward with 'Far From Home' and 'No Way Home'. The last film saw Peter Parker's secret identity being revealed to the world when the young hero had to make Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange erase his memories. Fast forward to 'Brand New Day', the film will be based on the same storyline. Plot details have been kept under wraps. Coming to the cast, Holland will be joined by Zendaya and Jacob Batalon alongside the latest addition of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner aka the Hulk and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, reported Variety. The 'Stranger Things' star Sadie Sink has also joined the cast. 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' will release on July 31, 2026. (ANI)

Exchange students from Japan visit Regina's QCX, youth participate in mutton busting
A group of exchange students travelling from Yokohama, Japan to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan stopped in Regina to visit the Queen City Ex (QCX). (Sierra D'Souza Butts/CTV News) A student exchange group from Japan is experiencing Canada for the first time through Regina's Queen City Ex (QCX). Travelling from Yokohama to Moose Jaw, the 11 students made a stop in Regina on Sunday during the exhibition's final day of rides, entertainment and food. 'We were able to take them to host families, take them around the city [of Moose Jaw], bring them here to Regina, experience living with a Canadian family, eating Canadian food and experiencing the culture,' shared Jamie Dupuis, head teacher of Spike and Ai English. The group of students are taking part in a homestay for 10 days in Moose Jaw – home to the owner of Spike and Ai English Arron Dobrescu. During their visit in the area, organizers thought bringing the group to the QCX would benefit them to experience the Canadian culture. 'The kids are having a wonderful time. They can't get enough of the rides and they have enjoyed all the food,' Dupuis said. Other youth also enjoyed this year's exhibition, specifically through a mutton busting activity. QCX 2025 (Sierra D'Souza Butts / CTV News) 'They come out a lot more brave. I find that some of them are leaving the arena crying, but a lot of them leave the arena with a big smile on their face, and it's wonderful to see it,' shared Abbey Harty of Canadian Western Agribition. Harty added the friendly competition aims to connect youth to agriculture in a fun environment. 'We've actually been able to host the rodeo, the Pile O'Bones Rodeo, that has come to Regina every year that QCX has been on,' she explained. 'Unfortunately, this year we didn't get the rodeo so Agribition wanted to bring Ag to QCX. We just wanted to have a little bit fun for the kids and then bring in some horsemanship demonstrations that I'm teaching every day as well.'
