The web-slinger is officially swinging back into action. Marvel Studios has confirmed that Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is in development — and director Destin Daniel Cretton is sharing his enthusiasm for bringing the next chapter to life.
Speaking during a panel at CinemaCon, Cretton — best known for directing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — expressed his excitement about working on the iconic superhero’s story.
“I honestly can’t believe every day, right now, I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world,” he said.
Cretton hinted at a fresh cinematic direction, adding, “We’re all just daily nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”
The film will continue the story from Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), where Peter Parker made the ultimate sacrifice by erasing his identity from everyone’s memory to protect his loved ones. Tom Holland, who reprises his role as Peter Parker, touched on the emotional weight of the upcoming film.
“I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home,” Holland said in a recent interview. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say.”
Holland remained tight-lipped on further plot details, promising fans that he wouldn’t spoil anything — despite his reputation for accidentally revealing secrets.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slated for release on July 31, 2026, and is expected to mark a bold new direction for the beloved franchise. With Cretton at the helm and Holland returning as the fan-favorite superhero, anticipation is already building for what’s next in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day officially in the works and Destin Daniel Cretton bringing a fresh creative vision, fans can look forward to a thrilling new chapter in Peter Parker’s journey. As excitement builds toward the film’s 2026 release, the promise of emotional depth and bold storytelling suggests this installment could redefine the Spider-Man legacy for a new generation.
