Tom Holland has finally revealed his new Spidey suit for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
After briefly teasing the suit on Friday, Aug. 1, which was national Spider-Man Day, the full unveiling came on Saturday morning with a longer video. Holland emerges from the shadows in his new costume, which more closely resembles the comic-book costume than his previous duds.
“We ready?” Holland asks in the video. The new costume has brighter reds and blues and sports a larger spider insignia than his past suits from “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” “Far From Home” and “No Way Home.” The upcoming “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” set to release in theaters on July 31, 2026.
“Brand New Day” is the fourth Spidey movie from Sony and Disney in the MCU, following the blockbuster “Spider-Man: No Way Home” in 2021. This will be the first time Holland has reappeared in the MCU since joining the screen with Sony’s two previous Spider-Men, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, in “No Way Home.”
In “No Way Home,” Parker Parker’s true identity as Spider-Men is revealed to the entire world (thanks to Jake Gyllenhaal’s Mysterio spilling the beans at the end of 2019’s “Far From Home”). With his privacy erased, he turns to Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange to cast a spell and make everyone forget that he’s Spider-Man. However, the spell has some unintended consequences and pulls in the other web-slingers and their villains from other dimensions. The three team up to defeat the evildoers, but in the end Peter makes the tough decision and allows Doctor Strange to finish his spell and make everyone forget his identity. That means his girlfriend M.J. Watson-Jones (Zendaya), best friend Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) and everyone else has forgotten who Peter is. Also, in a tragic accident, Peter’s Aunt May (Marisa Tomei) dies.
Thus comes “Brand New Day,” which pulls inspiration from the Spider-Man comic storyline of the same name. In the comics, Spidey makes a deal with the devil Mephisto to make the world forget his identity and to resurrect Aunt May, but it also dissolves his marriage to MJ and effectively reboots his world.
“Shang-Chi” director Destin Daniel Cretton directs “Brand New Day,” which will also introduce Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas to the MCU. Jon Bernthal’s vigilante the Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, will also appear in the movie.
