Spider-Man: Brand New Day Production Background
Filming began in August 2025 with location filming in Glasgow, Scotland, while soundstage work occurs at Pinewood Studios in England. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film represents Holland’s fourth Spider-Man film, continuing Peter Parker’s journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Zendaya will reprise her role as MJ, with Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas also joining the cast in undisclosed roles, making this one of the most anticipated superhero sequels of 2026.
Holland’s Commitment to Authentic Action
Known for performing his own stunts, Holland has always been hands-on with Spider-Man’s acrobatic sequences. Recent behind-the-scenes footage showed Holland shooting a scene on top of what appears to be a tank careening down the street, demonstrating the high-octane action sequences planned for the film.
This commitment to authenticity, while admirable, has now resulted in the first major injury during his Spider-Man tenure.

Recovery Timeline & Production Future
While Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 31, 2026, as part of Phase Six of the MCU, the production delay could potentially impact post-production schedules.
