Kevin Feige teases Tom Holland will become 'proper Spider-Man' in next movie instalment, Entertainment News
Kevin Feige has teased Spider-Man: Brand New Day will see Tom Holland become a "proper Spider-Man". The 29-year-old actor is set to suit up as the Web-Head once again for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster, and the Marvel Studios boss has now said Holland's Wall-Crawler will be his own fully-fledged superhero by Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Speaking at a roundtable interview for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Feige said: "I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home, that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. "Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with — for lack of better terms — street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events." The Marvel head also explained what direction Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton would be taking with Jon Bernthal's The Punisher in the movie. Feige said: "So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we've never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic. "That great cover ... I don't want to say too much, but Destin — I will say too much — Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. "And he's got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool." As well as Holland and Bernthal, Spider-Man: Brand New Day — which is slated to hit screens on July 31, 2026 — will see the return of Zendaya as Michelle 'MJ' Jones-Watson and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds. Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink and The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas have also been cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, though it has not been confirmed what roles they will be playing in the film. Although plot details about Spider-Man: Brand New Day are being kept under wraps, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk is rumoured to be the main antagonist of the movie. Looking to the future, Feige teased he wanted Spider-Man to cross paths with the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn). He said: "We didn't do chemistry reads, but whenever we cast it is with that blue sky dream in mind of one day being able to do that. "And that's a great example. That's one of the key relationships in Marvel comics is Johnny Storm and Peter Parker. And we've never been able to come close to it before and now it is in the realm of possibility. That's exciting. That gets me up in the morning." Recently, Holland teased Spider-Man: Brand New Day would feel like a "breath of fresh air", much like his original 2017 film Spider-Man: Homecoming. He told Flip Your Wig: "It's gonna feel like making [Spider-Man: Homecoming] again. It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's gonna feel like a breath of fresh air. "And I think the fans are gonna be over the moon with what we're putting together." [[nid:715595]]

Kevin Feige confirms gritty new direction for Spider-Man in 'Brand New Day' with the Punisher by his side
Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has shed new light on the direction of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, teasing a grounded, street-level approach to Tom Holland's Peter Parker — and revealing that Frank Castle's Punisher will play a significant role in the upcoming film. The Marvel boss spoke about this at a roundtable for the upcoming film 'Fantastic Four'. Speaking about the next phase of Spider-Man's cinematic arc, Kevin Feige said, 'I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home, that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with — for lack of better terms — street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events.' This shift marks a distinct tonal departure from the previous trilogy, which saw Peter navigating multiversal chaos and galactic threats. Now, the web-slinger will be back to his roots — alone, unknown, and focused on everyday urban threats. Feige also confirmed that the film would reintroduce another beloved, albeit darker, Marvel character: Frank Castle aka The Punisher. 'So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we've never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic. That great cover... I don't want to say too much, but Destin — I will say too much." Praising the director Destin Daniel Cretton, Feige said, "Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. And he's got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool.' 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is slated for release on July 31, 2026, with Destin Daniel Cretton ('Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings') directing. The title references the controversial 2008 comic arc in which Peter Parker makes a deal with Mephisto to erase his marriage and identity, effectively rebooting his life. Even though Mephisto has already been introduced in 'Ironheart', it is yet to seen whether he will be a part of 'Brand New Day'. While Feige remained tight-lipped about exact plot details, the mention of classic comic book covers being brought to life — and the debut of a new Punisher — suggests Brand New Day may be one of the most comic-faithful and character-driven Spider-Man films yet. Fans will be watching closely as production ramps up, especially to see how Peter Parker and Frank Castle collide — or collaborate — in the alleys of New York.

Tom Holland shares how Spider-Man: Brand New Day will improve on No Way Home
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be better than Spider-Man: No Way Home because it will 'shoot in real locations' instead of on production sets, Tom Holland has said. The 29-year-old actor is due to suit up as the Wall-Crawler once again for the upcoming Marvel superhero blockbuster and has now stressed Spider-Man: Brand New Day will improve on its 2021 predecessor by dropping the sound stages in favour of filming on location – with principal photography set to start in Glasgow next month. Speaking with Flip Your Wig, Holland said: 'I'm obviously over the moon and so excited. Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal, and 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." 'Now, we're really going to lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we're starting in Glasgow.' The Odyssey star added the streets of the Scottish city would be used for a 'massive set piece' in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Reflecting on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland teased the film would feel like a 'breath of fresh air', like his original 2017 movie Spider-Man: Homecoming. He said: 'It's going to feel like making [Spider-Man: Homecoming] again. It's been such a long time that I've done it [and] it's going feel like a breath of fresh air." 'And I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together.' Spider-Man: Brand New Day will see the return of Zendaya as Michelle 'MJ' Jones-Watson, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds and Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will also introduce Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink and The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas, though it has not been confirmed what roles they will be playing in the movie. While little is known about the plot of the upcoming movie, it has been rumoured Mark Ruffalo's Hulk may be the main antagonist of the film, but this has not been confirmed. Spider-Man: Brand New Day – which will be helmed by Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton – is set to land in cinemas on Jul 31, 2026. When Holland and Cretton revealed the title for Spider-Man: Brand New Day at CinemaCon in March, the Uncharted star teased the movie would be a 'fresh start' for the Wall-Crawler. Appearing on screen at the event, Holland said: 'I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, where Peter Parker sacrificed his identity to save the people that he loves most in the world." 'So, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That's all I can say. That's all I've been allowed to say, and I'm well over the hump of giving away spoilers. So don't you worry: I'm not going to do that today.'

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.' '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 certainly 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.
