Tom Holland's Spider-Man to team up with The Punisher in new MCU film?
Tom Holland's Spider-Man is getting back to basics. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has confirmed that the next film in the Spider-Man saga, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will take a more grounded approach, bringing Peter Parker back to the streets of New York City, with a little help (or trouble) from Jon Bernthal's The Punisher. A report in Collider states that Feige, speaking during a roundtable for Fantastic Four, said this upcoming film will mark the beginning of a 'proper Spider-Man' era in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). '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," he said, as quoted by Collider. "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.' Feige also revealed that this street-level focus opens up exciting possibilities — including the long-awaited team-up between Spider-Man and The Punisher. 'Of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic,' he 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.' While plot details remain under wraps, the title Brand New Day is a nod to the 2008 comic storyline in which Peter Parker resets his life after a deal with the demon Mephisto. The MCU version will likely skip the supernatural elements, but the core theme of starting over in anonymity remains. At the end of No Way Home, Peter made the heartbreaking decision to let MJ and Ned forget him, moving into a small apartment and sewing his own suit, signalling a fresh, solo start for the web-slinger. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. The film is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, best known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day film adds 8 Glasgow road closures
Production for the next instalment in the Spider-Man franchise will shut down a number of streets in the city centre. Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is set for a July 2026 release. Cameras are set to begin rolling in Glasgow on August 1, and a full list of the roads which will be closed to accommodate filming was released earlier this month. The long-anticipated movie will be helmed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton, with reports suggesting that Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink has been cast opposite Holland.

She said: 'We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker [in No Way Home], and that he was going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard.' Tom Holland revealed that Spider-Man 4 will begin filming in the summer of 2025 during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in October last year. The council has now revealed that more streets and restrictions have been added to allow for filming in different areas.

Spider-Man and The Punisher will come together in the next Tom Holland film, confirms Marvel's Kevin Feige
These sure are exciting times for fans of the superhero genre, with James Gunn's Superman rewriting iconic character traits and Marvel's Fantastic Four: First Steps all set for its worldwide release this week. Fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe haven't had a lot to celebrate in recent times, but some much-needed good news has just been delivered by the president of the studio, Kevin Feige. He has just confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is going to release in July 2026, is likely to feature another iconic comic-book character, and that is going to be Frank Castle, The Punisher. While attending a roundtable discussion for the upcoming Fantastic Four, Feige shed some light on Marvel's plans for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, and how is that movie going to fare considering that it is the last MCU movie to release before Avengers: Doomsday? When asked about whether the film is going to act as a proverbial bridge, which takes the audience to Doomsday, Feige made it clear that Peter Parker is all set to explore his story now, and considering how the last film ended, he has a lot of time to focus on just himself and become the hero he needs to be. He said, 'I think there's a promise at the end of No Way Home that, for as sad as it is, Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life.' ALSO READ: Fantastic Four first reactions say Marvel dials down the noise, turns up the heart in cosmic reboot: 'Emotional punch' He added, 'We are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. He is, by himself, dedicated to saving the city and dealing with—for lack of a better term—street-level crime as opposed to world-ending events that he faced when working with the other characters.' Kevin Feige does make a good point, because even though all of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies have been successful and well received, it can be argued the character has always had people to rely on. He is yet to go on that 'Batman-like' lonesome journey, where he can discover himself while caring about just his neighbourhood and his city. Interestingly, the Punisher's first-ever comic book appearance was in The Amazing Spider-Man issue #129. Apart from the several gritty storylines he has been a part of in the comics, the character was brought to life by actor Jon Bernthal back in 2016, when he featured in the second season of Daredevil. Since then, Bernthal has impressed audiences with his portrayal of the 'obsessed with justice' character and even played him in two stand-alone seasons. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is all set to release on July 31, 2026.

Tom Holland's Spider-Man set to start over in ‘Brand New Day' with The Punisher in tow
Marvel Studios is taking Tom Holland's Spider-Man in a sharply different direction. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the focus shifts from multiversal chaos and Avengers-scale disasters to a grounded New York story. Marvel boss Kevin Feige, speaking at a roundtable during promotions for Fantastic Four: First Steps, said, Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Others others Data Science Cybersecurity Data Science Finance CXO Healthcare Artificial Intelligence Leadership Project Management Technology PGDM Digital Marketing healthcare Public Policy Design Thinking Product Management MCA Management MBA Data Analytics Degree Skills you'll gain: Duration: 28 Weeks MICA CERT-MICA SBMPR Async India Starts on undefined Get Details Skills you'll gain: Duration: 28 Weeks MICA CERT-MICA SBMPR Async India Starts on undefined Get Details '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.

No more swinging through alternate realities or relying on Tony Stark's tech. This is Peter, alone and anonymous, facing the kind of threats he was first built for. The Punisher returns Feige also confirmed that Jon Bernthal is returning as Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher. His inclusion brings a rougher edge to the story. Live Events '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.' This is more than a crossover. It's a deliberate attempt to tap into the roots of both characters, and the darker moral grey zones they navigate when their paths cross. 'Brand New Day' inspired by the Comics The film's title, Brand New Day, references a 2008 comic book arc where Peter Parker strikes a deal with Mephisto to undo his marriage and identity, essentially rebooting his life. While Mephisto has already appeared in Ironheart, it's unclear if he'll appear in this version of the story. Feige has kept plot details tightly guarded, but the nod to classic comic covers and Bernthal's return suggests this will be one of the more faithful adaptations in recent memory. Cast, characters and fresh faces Alongside Tom Holland, Zendaya returns as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds. Also joining the film are Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas. Their roles remain under wraps for now. Meanwhile, there's buzz around Mark Ruffalo's Hulk being lined up as the film's primary antagonist. Nothing confirmed yet, but it's a detail fans will be watching closely. Future crossovers already on the table Feige hinted at his long-term hopes for the Spider-Man character within the Marvel Cinematic Universe , particularly with the incoming Fantastic Four. '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 between 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.' That crossover between Peter and Johnny Storm (to be played by Joseph Quinn) has been long awaited. If it happens, it could mark a new chapter for both characters. What Tom Holland said about returning After years away from the solo Spider-Man films, Tom Holland has said returning for Brand New Day feels familiar in the best way. Speaking to Flip Your Wig, Holland said, '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.' Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled for release on 31 July 2026. It will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton , best known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Production begins soon. And while much of the plot remains under wraps, what's clear is this: Spider-Man is heading back to the streets. Back to the shadows. And perhaps, back to where he belongs.

The Punisher's Role in SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Teased by Kevin Feige — GeekTyrant
When Marvel first introduced The Piunisher antihero on the cover of Amazing Spider-Man #129 back in 1974, it came with the the introduction, 'He's different! He's deadly! He's — THE PUNISHER!' Co-created by Gerry Conway, Ross Andru, and John Romita, the character was initially a hired gun working for the Jackal, tasked with taking down Spider-Man over a murder he didn't commit. From the very beginning, Frank Castle was a lethal wildcard, and while he eventually realized Spidey wasn't his real enemy, their relationship has always been… complicated. Now, more than 50 years later, the Punisher is coming full circle and coming back to Spider-Man's world, but this time on the big screen. And according to Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, this team-up (or clash?) is going to be something fans have never seen before. After Spider-Man: No Way Home left Peter Parker (Tom Holland) erased from everyone's memory, he's finally living as the 'proper Spider-Man' Feige has always envisioned… alone, broke, and patrolling the streets without the Avengers on speed dial. '[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 a better term, street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events that he faced when working with the other characters.' This is where Spider-Man: Brand New Day comes in. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film will lean heavily into the street-level side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and that means new faces, including Frank Castle. Feige explained: '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 Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic, and that great cover.' Jon Bernthal's Punisher, who made his MCU return in Daredevil: Born Again , is officially stepping into Spider-Man's world. This marks the first time the character will appear in a Spider-Man feature film, a move that feels long overdue considering their comic book history. Feige wouldn't say too much, but he couldn't help teasing how excited he is for what's coming: '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. That 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.' Details are still under wraps regarding the story, but rumors point to appearances from major crime-centric villains like Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tombstone, which are characters that should make any Spidey fan's ears perk up. Considering Punisher's war on organized crime, his involvement feels like a natural fit. The big question is… will Frank Castle be hunting Spider-Man like in the comics, or will they begrudgingly team up to take down a bigger threat? Given Spider-Man's 'wanted man' history after Far From Home and the Punisher's brutal sense of justice, there's a strong chance their first encounter won't exactly be friendly. But as history shows from Amazing Spider-Man #135 to countless crossovers since, these two have a way of finding common ground when the city needs saving. Sony Pictures has locked in Spider-Man: Brand New Day for July 31, 2026, giving fans plenty of time to speculate about how this partnership will play out. Whether Punisher ends up being an ally, an adversary, or something in between, one thing is clear, this is going to be a awesome Spider-Man story unlike any we've seen in the MCU. Via: CB
