Tom Holland Teases 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' as a Bold Return to Real-World Filmmaking
Hey everyone, have you heard the latest buzz around the next Spider-Man movie? Tom Holland has officially broken the silence on Spider-Man: Brand New Day , and it sounds like we're in for something truly refreshing. During a recent chat at the Bero Padel Classic tournament with Flip Your Wig , Holland shared some exciting updates—and trust me, it’s giving serious throwback vibes in the best way.

So here's the big reveal: unlike No Way Home , which was shot entirely on soundstages due to COVID restrictions, Brand New Day is going all in on real-world filming. That’s right—actual city streets, real locations, old-school filmmaking at its core. In fact, they’re starting production in none other than Glasgow, Scotland. Holland even teased a "massive set piece" planned to unfold right on the streets of the city. If you've ever seen how cinematic Glasgow looks in films like The Batman or Infinity War , you know this is going to be visually stunning.
Tom couldn’t hide his enthusiasm about returning to the character. He said that stepping back into Spider-Man’s shoes feels like catching up with an old friend—and filming this way will make it feel more like Homecoming again, which fans absolutely adored. He called the new approach “a breath of fresh air,” and honestly, it sounds like that’s exactly what the franchise is aiming for.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the creative mind behind Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings . That's already an exciting change-up from Jon Watts, who directed the previous trilogy. And on top of that, Jon Bernthal is confirmed to appear as The Punisher, while Sadie Sink from Stranger Things is joining the cast in a mystery role. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will also return as MJ and Ned, so we’re getting a strong mix of familiar faces and new blood.
Tom previously hinted at Brand New Day being a “fresh start” for Peter Parker, especially after the major cliffhanger in No Way Home , where Peter sacrificed his identity to protect those he loves. That reset gives the filmmakers a lot of creative room to explore a new chapter in Peter’s life, and shooting in real environments might help ground the story emotionally and visually.
If you're a longtime Spidey fan or someone just excited to see Marvel embrace a more tactile, real-world feel again, Spider-Man: Brand New Day should be on your radar. It swings into theaters on July 31, 2026 , and if Holland’s excitement is anything to go by, we’re in for something that’s not just new—but genuinely memorable.
