Day One on the “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” Set Feels Different for Tom Holland

“Putting the suit on feels different this time,” Tom Holland says at the top of a new video from day one on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. One new element for Holland’s fourth spin as Peter Parker is that the Brand New Day set marks the first time fans have been on the set, and as you’ll see in the video, it made for some very special moments.

We see Holland suited up as Spider-Man riding on top of an armored vehicle that he rips the hatch off of (could Jon Bernthal’s The Punisher be in there?). A little boy dressed as Spider-Man gets a very special photo with Holland. We also get a glimpse of director Destin Daniel Cretton as he and Holland embrace at the start of the shoot.

This follows the reveal of Spidey’s new suit, which boasts a larger spider symbol on his chest. This is Holland’s fourth adventure after suiting up in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Far From Home (2019), and No Way Home (2021), which unleashed three Peter Parkers on a single universe, with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprising their roles as they try to help Holland’s Peter Parker keep his universe from imploding.

Mark Ruffalo is returning to the MCU fold in Brand New Day as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, with Bernthal’s The Punisher and newcomer Sadie Sink (the speculation is that Sink is playing a young version of X-Men heroine Jean Grey, as we know the X-Men are majorly back in the MCU fold now.)

Cretton directs from a script by Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, the long-tenured scribes on all of the Holland-led Spider-Man films. Their script for No Way Home had Peter having to wipe the memories of everyone he loves, including MJ (Zendaya), to keep his identity a secret, thus willingly ending his relationships and essentially isolating himself to protect them. The plot details for Brand New Day are, of course, being kept well webbed up.

Check out the video from the set. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is due in theaters on July 31, 2026.
