Tom Holland Reveals SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Suit

Tom Holland has revealed his new Spidey suit for Marvel's upcoming film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day". The full unveiling arrived on Saturday morning, following a brief tease on August 1st, which was national Spider-Man Day. The reveal came via a social media video, in which the actor simply asks: "We ready ?"

Are you ready? - 7.31.2026 pic.twitter.com/9evwMzflxM

— Spider-Man Movie (@SpiderManMovie) August 2, 2025

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" will be released in theaters on July 31, 2026. This is the fourth installment in the Sony/Disney Spider-Man series set in the MCU. The last film in the series was "Spider-Man: No Way Home", in which Holland shared the screen with Sony's two previous Spider-Men played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

"Brand New Day" will take inspiration from the Spider-Man comic storyline of the same name, in which Spidey makes a deal with the devil Mephisto to make the world forget his identity and to resurrect Aunt May (who perished in "No Way Home"), but it also dissolves his marriage to MJ and effectively reboots his world.

The film is directed by "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" helmer Destin Daniel Cretton, and will also star Sadie Sink and Liza Colon-Zayas. Jon Bernthal's Punisher and Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner aka the Hulk, will also appear in the movie.

Cretton also added: "I'm spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world. We're all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven't really seen before. I really wish I could introduce you to our entire team who are working their bloods off for this. They are incredible, and you will see their amazing work when 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' hits your theaters."

At the end of "Spider-Man: No Way Home", Peter Parker, having accidentally broken open the multiverse, making the difficult decision to erase his identity from the world. Plot details on the fourth installment have not been revealed. Sadie Sink recently joined the cast in an unknown role.

Donald Glover to Star in and Produce Spider-Man Movie Based on Villain Hypno-Hustler

Donald Glover ("Atlanta") is attached to star in and produce a new Sony Pictures movie set in the "Spider-Man" universe, which will be written by Myles Murphy, the son of actor and comedian Eddie Murphy. The project is currently untitled, but it is said to focus on Hypno-Hustler, one of the more obscure Spider-Man villains.

The villainous character was created by Bill Mantlo, the writer who also created Rocket Racoon, and artist Frank Springer, and he first appeared in Marvel comics in 1978. His real name was Antoine Delsoin, lead singer of a band called the Mercy Killers, who use their music to rob their audiences.

Spider-Man himself will amost certainly not be a part of the project. Glover was at one time a fan-favorite to play the web-slinger after a 2010 article by writer Marc Bernardin pointed out there is no reason why Spider-Man has to be white. The actor appeared in 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" as Aaron Davis, the uncle of Miles Morales, and he also voices Miles in the 2015 Disney XD series "Ultimate Spider-Man".

The Hypno-Hustler will join Sony's cast of Spider-Man villain solo spinoffs that also includes "Venom", "Morbius", and the upcoming "Kraven the Hunter" and "Madame Web".

Glover can next be seen in Amazon's upcoming series "Mr. and Mrs Smith" alongside Maya Erskine. The actor co-created and executive produced the series.

Sydney Sweeney Joins Dakota Johnson in Spider-Man Spinoff MADAME WEB

"Euphoria" star Sydney Sweeney is set to star opposite Dakota Johnson in Sony's upcoming superhero movie "Madame Web". Directed by S.J. Clarkson ("The Defenders", "Jessica Jones") from a script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, the film is a Spider-Man spinoff. Kerem Sanga also penned a previous draft.

Madame Web is a clairvoyant mutant who was introduced in "The Amazing Spider-Man" No. 210, in the 1980s.

She is traditionally depicted as a blind, paralyzed old woman, she is surrounded by a web-like machine necessary to keep her alive. Due to her age and medical condition, Madame Web never actively fought any villains, but it's possible the film will become something more. It is unknown who Sweeney will be playing in the film.

Sweeney is currently filming Tony Tost's directorial debut "National Anthem", which also stars Simon Rex and Halsey.

Dakota Johnson to Play Madame Web in Sony's New SPIDER-MAN Spin-off

Dakota Johnson ("Fifty Shades of Grey", "Suspiria") is set to join Sony's latest "Spider-Man" related spin-off. The actor will play Madame Web in the studio's next standalone superhero movie, which will be directed by S.J. Clarkson ("Jessica Jones", "The Defenders") from a script by Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless ("Lost in Space", "Morbius").

In the comics, Madame Web is key in the interconnected multiverse, which has already been explored by Sony in "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and "Spider-Man: No Way Home". Introduced in the 1980, Web often appeared as a side character in the "Spider-Man" comics where she is depicted as a blind, paralyzed elderly woman who has myasthenia gravis, a chronic autoimmune disorder requiring her to connect to a life support system resembling a spider web. According to various reports, due to her psychic sensory powers, she is essentially Sony's "Doctor Strange".

Johnsons can next be seen in Netflix's Jane Austen adaptation "Persuasion". Also, her Sndance film "Cha Cha Real Smooth" was sold to Apple for $15 million after premiering at the festival.
