One aspect of Spider-Man: Brand New Day that has both fans and Tom Holland himself excited is the use of practical effects versus blue-screen CGI, which was, of course, heavily featured in the previous Spider-Man movie, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.
“I’m obviously over the moon and so excited. Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal. And I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID; we shot the entire film on stages,” Holland said of filming Brand New Day.
“Now, we’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we’re starting in Glasgow and we’re gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece that we’re putting together. So it’s gonna feel like making [2017’s] Spider-Man 1 again. It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it, it’s gonna feel like a breath of fresh air, and I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we’re putting together.”
In addition to Tom Holland starring in his fourth solo film as Spidey, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will also star Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Liza Colón-Zayas, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, and Michael Mando.
Prior to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland will next be seen starring as Telemachus in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which releases on July 17, 2026.
