Marvel Studios has begun principal photography on “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” with shooting starting this month and a large-scale action sequence planned for the streets of Glasgow, Scotland. The film is the fourth standalone outing for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and reunites him with Zendaya, who returns as MJ. Holland told Variety the production will “lean into old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations,” a shift he said was impossible on 2021’s “No Way Home,” which was filmed almost entirely on sound stages under COVID restrictions. The actor described the Glasgow set piece as “massive” and likened the new picture to the more grounded tone of his 2017 debut, “Homecoming.” Destin Daniel Cretton (“Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings”) is directing. Confirmed cast members include Sadie Sink in her Marvel debut, Jon Bernthal reprising Frank Castle/The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo, Jacob Batalon and Liza Colón-Zayas. Plot details remain under wraps. Disney has scheduled “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” for theatrical release on July 31 2026, positioning it two weeks after Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which also stars Holland and Zendaya. The three previous Holland-led Spider-Man films have generated a combined $3.9 billion at the global box office.
