Tom Holland is ready
Holland also spoke with the UK’s GQ on Friday.
“I’m prepping for Spider-Man 4, so I’ve been at the studio doing stunts all day. Today was strenuous, but, you know, we’re making great progress. Everything’s shaping up. Yeah, life couldn’t be any better, really,” he said.
The official Spider-Man Instagram account has also been wiped clean and removed all of its previous posts. The move syncs up with the start of filming as well as everyone forgetting who Peter is at the end of No Way Home.
Punisher and Street-Level Focus
In a recent roundtable MCU interview with the press, Kevin Feige spoke about the direction of the new film, suggesting a major tonal shift from previous entries.
“We are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man… dealing with street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events,” Feige said.
He added, “Of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic… Destin [Daniel Cretton] is doing an amazing job right now on that movie… He’s got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life.”
Rumors also offer Mark Ruffalo may be the villain as the Savage Hulk.
Returning Cast and Release Date
Tom Holland returns in the lead, joined by Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
Newcomers Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas also join the cast in unknown roles.
Destin Daniel Cretton is directing, with longtime Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige producing.
“We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker and he was gonna focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard. So that’s what the movie is about,” Pascal said in a previous interview.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
