Marvel Confirms Spider-Man Reset: ‘Brand New Day’ Erases Peter Parker Four Years On
The film unfolds alongside Avengers: Doomsday, explaining Spider-Man’s absence from that ensemble.
Overview
- An official synopsis from a retail art-book listing states that four years have passed and “Peter Parker is no more,” with an anonymous Spider-Man protecting New York City.
- Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows the Doctor Strange spell that wiped Peter Parker from everyone’s memory.
- Insider Jeff Sneider reports the story runs concurrently with Avengers: Doomsday, which helps account for Spider-Man sitting out the December 2026 event.
- Tom Holland told CinemaCon attendees the film is a fresh start, while reporting also notes his commitment to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey as a scheduling factor.
- The ensemble includes Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando, Marvin Jones III, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman, and Liza Colón-Zayas, with Charlie Cox’s return as Matt Murdock widely expected but not confirmed.
