Spider-Man: Brand New Day Kicks Off Filming Soon, And As A Walking Dead Fan, I Hope This Fancasting Pays Off In Real Life
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly releasing new content, both in theaters and streaming with a Disney+ subscription. One of the most hotly anticipated upcoming Marvel movies is definitely Destin Daniel Cretton's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will bring Tom Holland's title character back to the shared universe. There's some fan casting swirling around online, and as a Walking Dead fan I hope one actually comes true. What we know about Spider-Man: Brand New Day is limited, but the recently revealed title is an exciting step forward. Fans are wondering who might be joining Tom Holland in the project, including chatter about Sadie Sink having a role. Some fans on Reddit notice the director was following Walking Dead alum Steven Yeun on Instagram, and think he'd be a great choice to bring Mister Negative to life on the big screen. And I am personally completely sold on this casting. Yeun was a fan favorite on The Walking Dead before Glen's infamous death, and has taken a variety of exciting projects in the years that have followed. That includes his Emmy-winning performance in Beef, as well as movies like Jordan Peele's Nope. And after voicing the title character in Invincible (streaming with an Amazon Prime subscription), it seems like the perfect time to give him a live-action superhero role. Mister Negative is a Spider-Man villain who has had less time on the page, debuting back in 2007. His Darkforce abilities give him a variety of powers, and is a primary foe of the wall crawler. He's perhaps best known for being the primary villain of Sony's Spider-Man video game, as well as his appearance in the sequel. Ever since these games became so wildly successful, fans have been wondering when the character might make the leap to live-action.

But fans spent years watching the Marvel movies in order, and are emotionally invested in the fan favorite character. So the theories, rumors, and fan castings will likely continue until some official announcements occur. Yeun is clearly a wildly talented actor, but as someone who was a Walking Dead superfan during the flagship series' run on AMC, I'm ready to see him kicking ass on the screen again. He did a ton of actions dispatching zombies as Glenn, and watching him go toe to toe with Tom Holland's Peter Parker sounds thrilling. Moviegoers are curious about what comes next for Holland's hero after Spider-Man: No Way Home's ending, which saw him erased from the memories of anyone who knew him. Brand New Day is currently expected to arrive in theaters on July 31st, 2026, so I'm not expecting any footage coming with the 2025 movie releases.

SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY: SPIDER-MAN 4 Gets Official (and Controversial) Title
No one in the MCU remembers Peter Parker after Doctor Strange's spell in No Way Home. No one even knows who is underneath Spider-Man's mask after that universe-changing event. It will essentially be a brand new day for the character when Tom Holland's webslinger returns to big screens. So it makes sense that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have decided to officially call his next movie, Spider-Man 4, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Spider-Man: Brand New Day might not sound like a very controversial title, but the comic book the film takes its name from certainly is. Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' Destin Daniel Cretton is taking over directing duties for Spider-Man 4. He's taking over from Jon Watts, who helmed the Home trilogy. Cretton also got to take the stage at this year's CinemaCon in Las Vegas to discuss Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He wasn't entirely alone during the presentation, though. Holland joined him via video to reveal the title of their Spider-Man movie, Holland's fourth standalone installment. The actor called Spider-Man: Brand New Day 'a fresh start.' And Holland additionally described it as 'a ride that we haven't really seen before.' Only comic book fans will know all about Spider-Man's previous Brand New Day. Joining Holland in the movie is The Bear actress Liza Colón-Zayas in a currently undisclosed role. The MCU's Spider-Man: Brand New Day title is a reference to the 2008 comic run that followed Peter Parker after his marriage to MJ was undone by a universe-changing event. (Sound familiar?) It was part of a controversial storyline for the friendly neighborhood hero in the 2000s that not everyone loved. Sony and Marvel obviously know that. Yet they still decided to title their film after a comic series that got a mixed reaction. That indicates they fully believe in this adaptation. They might even be hoping the negative connotations some (not all!) have about the storyline will be a good thing for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It will also be especially interesting to see what becomes of this movie because it'll take place right between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. But this always seemed like the most logical place for the character to go after Spider-Man: No Way Home. No one in the MCU knows who Spider-Man is right now. It truly is a brand new day for him. Or at least it will be when Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters July 31, 2026. Originally published on April 1, 2025.

Tom Holland's ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day' confirmed—Could Doctor Doom appear?
Sony has officially unveiled Spider-Man 4 as Spider-Man: Brand New Day during CinemaCon 2025. Starring Tom Holland, the film is scheduled to release on July 31, 2026, fitting between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) timeline. Director Destin Daniel Cretton took the stage at CinemaCon to share insights into the next chapter of Spider-Man's journey. He promised a unique, emotional story that would offer audiences something entirely new. Tom Holland, currently filming Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, appeared via Zoom to apologize for his absence and tease the film: 'I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start.' While official story details remain a mystery, leaks suggest possible Marvel cameos, including Doctor Doom (rumored to be played by Robert Downey Jr.). Fans are also speculating about the return of Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, as well as Sadie Sink's potential casting as Jean Grey. With production set to begin later this year, more casting announcements, trailers, and plot reveals are expected soon.

Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day Logo Revealed for Tom Holland Movie
Spider-Man: Brand New Day received its official logo reveal at the 2025 CinemaCon, generating buzz ahead of its 2026 release. The reveal included a video announcement from Tom Holland and comments from director Destin Daniel Cretton. Together, they set the stage for what Marvel calls a 'fresh start' for the character. While plot details remain under wraps, the film's branding suggests a narrative shift after the events of No Way Home. The design features a classic red and blue color scheme with bold, angled lettering that echoes traditional comic book aesthetics. The subtitle 'Brand New Day' appears in yellow beneath the iconic Spider-Man title, and the image confirms the film's release date: 'Exclusively in movie theatres July 31, 2026.' Tom Holland announced the title in a pre-recorded video, stating, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that' (via Variety). Holland is currently filming The Odyssey with director Christopher Nolan and was unable to attend CinemaCon in person. Director Destin Daniel Cretton, who appeared on stage, said, 'I'm spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world.' The title Brand New Day originates from a 2008 Marvel Comics storyline that reboots Peter Parker's life following a timeline reset. The storyline followed the One More Day arc, in which Peter makes a deal that results in everyone forgetting his identity, a plot that aligns with the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Cretton announced that the team will begin filming in summer 2025. The new logo reflects a refreshed chapter in the Spider-Man narrative through both its visual style and story direction. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon plan to return to their roles, while Sadie Sink has joined the cast. Holland stated, 'That's all I've been allowed to say,' and assured fans he would not reveal any spoilers.
