Tom Holland has officially swung back into the Spider-Verse, making his much-anticipated return as the iconic web-slinger.
On Sunday, the Uncharted star was seen in high spirits on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking his first appearance for the upcoming Marvel blockbuster.
Filming is currently taking place in Glasgow, Scotland, with the city transformed into a striking New York backdrop. The choice of location comes down to Glasgow’s architectural resemblance to the Big Apple and its cost-effective production benefits. Fans were thrilled as Holland, dressed in Spider-Man’s signature suit, waved to onlookers and struck playful poses, even mimicking the hero’s famous web-shooting move—a nostalgic nod to his 2016 debut as the superhero in Captain America: Civil War.
While the film’s final cast list has not been officially announced, industry buzz suggests that Holland could be sharing the screen with Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, 23. Additionally, Zendaya, 29, is confirmed to reprise her role as MJ, continuing the on-screen chemistry that began during Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016, where she and Holland first met.
The new installment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is expected to explore fresh storylines for Peter Parker while potentially introducing new characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios has kept plot details tightly under wraps, fueling fan speculation about surprise cameos and crossovers.
Holland’s return to the red-and-blue suit also comes amid rumors about his possible involvement in the James Bond franchise. Recent reports suggest he is being considered as a contender to play the next 007, though the actor has remained tight-lipped. When asked about the speculation in a video posted last Thursday, Holland offered no clues, keeping fans guessing.
With filming underway, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to become one of the most highly anticipated superhero releases of the year. Fans can expect a blend of action, humor, and emotional depth—hallmarks of Holland’s portrayal of the beloved Marvel hero.
Marvel is yet to announce an official release date, but with production gaining momentum, excitement for Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man adventure is already reaching new heights.
