Hold onto your webs, Spidey fans! Marvel and Sony have officially announced Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth solo film starring Tom Holland, and it's shaping up to be one of the most exciting chapters yet in the MCU's web-slinging saga.
With a new director, fresh faces (hello, Sadie Sink!), and a storyline that picks up after No Way Home's jaw-dropping ending, this film promises a bold new beginning for Peter Parker.
What Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day About?
A Fresh Start After No Way Home
Remember that heartbreaking ending where Doctor Strange's spell made the entire world forget Peter Parker?Brand New Day will explore the fallout—Peter is completely alone, with no MJ, no Ned, and no Avengers backup.
The title is a nod to the 2008 comic arc where Spidey's life got a major reset (minus the One More Day demon deal, thankfully). Expect:
A lonelier, more independent Peter
New allies (and maybe new enemies?)
Tom Holland's most emotional performance yet
Will MJ & Ned Return?
- Zendaya is likely back as MJ, but their relationship will be completely reset.
- Jacob Batalon's Ned may return, but will he remember Peter? Unlikely.
- Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) joins the cast in a mysterious role—could she be Jean Grey? Menace? Or someone else entirely?

Big Theories & Rumors
Who Is Sadie Sink Playing?
The Stranger Things star's role is still under wraps, but fans have wild guesses:
Jean Grey – With mutants entering the MCU, could she be the first X-Men crossover?
Menace – A Brand New Day comic villain linked to Harry Osborn.
Black Cat? – A fan-favorite thief/antihero who's never appeared in live-action before.
Will We See Harry Osborn?
With Ned no longer remembering Peter, the door is wide open for a brand-new Harry Osborn—possibly even as a villain!
Is Mephisto Involved?
Probably not. The MCU seems to be skipping the One More Day devil deal, but never say never...
Why This Could Be the Best Spider-Man Movie Yet
Tom Holland has teased that this film will be "unlike anything we've done before." With a new director, fresh cast, and a Peter Parker truly on his own, Brand New Day might just redefine Spidey in the MCU.
