Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)
Tom Holland's Peter Parker returns on July 31, 2026, for the fifth and most ambitious entry in the MCU Spider-Man saga. Four years after Doctor Strange's memory spell, Peter exists as a ghost in New York City: no name, no identity, still protecting the city. Then his biology begins to change. Organic webs. A berserk state in combat. Something is rewriting Peter from the inside, and he turns to Bruce Banner to understand why. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and clocking in at 2 hours 30 minutes, this is Phase Six's defining event.
