July 31, 2026 — Holland’s forgotten Peter gets Cretton’s street-level MCU Friday
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens Friday, July 31, 2026. Cretton picks up after No Way Home’s memory wipe: Holland’s Peter fights full-time in a city that doesn’t know his name, with Zendaya and Batalon back while Bernthal’s Punisher and a stacked supporting cast (Sink, Mando, Ruffalo, Tillman) crash the borough. Runtime sits around 144 minutes.
This is Phase Six MCU / Sony live-action — not Miles’s Beyond the Spider-Verse, and not a Watts trilogy Part 4. Buy July 31.
Confirmed: Jul 31 2026 Cretton/Holland MCU — not Beyond the Spider-Verse, not Watts returning
Confirmed: July 31, 2026 theatrical; Cretton; Holland/Zendaya/Batalon; post–No Way Home forgotten-Peter pitch; ScreenX “Shot for ScreenX.” Not confirmed as an animated Miles movie, as Tobey/Andrew headlining, or as still a late-2025 soft date. Fake “Brand New Day = Beyond the Spider-Verse” mashups collide two Sony Spiders.

The world forgot Peter Parker — and Sony still made Brand New Day the first film shot for ScreenX
No Way Home’s ending is the story engine: anonymous Spider-Man, friends who don’t remember, a villain “no one can even see.” The production flex that scrapers miss is format — Brand New Day is marketed as the first title under ScreenX’s “Shot for ScreenX” program, not just another IMAX stamp on a Watts rerun. Cretton’s July 31, 2026 card is street-level MCU with a side-screen gimmick built in.
Keep Miles off this page. Beyond the Spider-Verse is the June 2027 animated trilogy closer.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Spider-Man: Brand New Day open?
July 31, 2026 in U.S. theaters from Sony Pictures Releasing (Columbia / Marvel Studios / Pascal). It plays RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, D-Box, and is the first film marketed under ScreenX’s “Shot for ScreenX” program.
2Who directs — is Jon Watts back?
No. Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) directs. Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers write. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker; Zendaya and Jacob Batalon return as MJ and Ned. Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo, and Tramell Tillman are among the new company.
3Is this the animated Miles Morales movie?
No. Brand New Day is Holland’s live-action MCU Spider-Man. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse (Miles’s animated trilogy finale) is June 18, 2027 — different Friday, different Spider, different animation pipeline.
4What does “Brand New Day” mean here?
Marketing frames a Peter the world forgot after No Way Home’s spell — full-time Spider-Man while friends move on, facing a threat “no one can even see.” It shares a title vibe with the comics’ Brand New Day era but is not a beat-for-beat remount of that 2008 status-quo run.
