Sorry, ‘Deadpool,’ Spidey Just Shattered Your Record for the Biggest Trailer Ever
Drop whatever you are doing and watch the ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ trailer this week
The first three movies (and additional MCU appearances) of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man could not have been more well-received, culminating in the multiversal madness of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which earned nearly $2 billion and united three generations of wall-crawlers.
It left us with a heartbreaking hard reset—a world where no one remembers Peter Parker exists. After a five-year wait that felt like a lifetime, the first look at Spidey’s next chapter has finally arrived.
And it didn’t just arrive; it dominated. The trailer for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” obliterated records, racking up over 718 million views in its first 24 hours, nearly doubling the previous record held by “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Instead of high-tech Stark suits and Avengers backup, this season of Peter’s life is grounded, gritty, and entirely solo. Here is everything you need to know about the trailer, the release date, and the shocking new cast.
What is ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ about?
The new film follows a 20-something Peter Parker as he navigates a New York City that has completely forgotten him. Operating out of a cramped apartment with a hand-stitched suit, Peter is focusing on street-level heroism to cope with the loss of his Aunt May and his social circle.
But things get weird for Spidey. The trailer teases a profound evolution in Peter’s powers, including organic webbing and a mysterious mutation that sees his eyes turn black. To figure out what’s happening, he turns to the only person who might still recognize his soul, if not his name: Bruce Banner.
Over the course of this new adventure, Peter will face off against classic threats like the Scorpion and the brutal Punisher, all while trying to move on as M.J. finds a new life—and a new boyfriend—without him.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ release date
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” (officially the fourth solo MCU film) premieres in theaters on Friday, July 31, 2026. Originally slated for a week earlier, the date was shifted to avoid clashing with Marvel Studios’ massive San Diego Comic-Con presentations.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ cast highlights
The cast is a mix of MCU veterans and exciting newcomers:
- Tom Holland: Peter Parker / Spider-Man
- Zendaya: Michelle “M.J.” Jones-Watson
- Jacob Batalon: Ned Leeds
- Jon Bernthal: Frank Castle / The Punisher
- Mark Ruffalo: Bruce Banner / The Hulk
- Sadie Sink: In a top-secret, highly anticipated role

How to watch “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”
To follow the journey of the web slinger as he starts over from scratch, keep these viewing details in mind:
- Primary platform: This is a theatrical-first release. You’ll need to head to the cinema on July 31 to see it on the big screen.
- Streaming home: Because Sony owns the film rights, it won’t hit Disney+ immediately. Per Sony’s latest global deal, the film is expected to land on Netflix first after its theatrical and VOD (digital rental) window.
- Digital access: You can expect to buy or rent the film on platforms like Apple TV, Amazon, and Vudu roughly 45–60 days after the theatrical premiere.
- Catch up: If you want to refresh your memory, the previous MCU Spider-Man films (“Homecoming,” “Far From Home,” and “No Way Home”) are currently surging in popularity on Disney+ and Netflix.
