Spider-Man 4’s official title has been revealed – and it has ties to a controversial time within the Marvel hero’s 80-year-plus comedian guide historical past

• Sony and Marvel have revealed the official title for Spider-Man 4
• The superhero film’s actual title was unveiled at CinemaCon 2025
• Tom Holland’s subsequent big-screen journey is not more likely to adapt its comedian guide namesake’s story

Spider-Man 4 is not any extra. No, I do not imply one of the crucial anticipated comedian guide motion pictures has all of the sudden been canceled. I’m really referring to the truth that the superhero movie lastly has an official title.

Revealed throughout Sony Pictures’ CinemaCon 2025 presentation yesterday (March 31), the webslinger’s subsequent outing within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) known as Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Sony additionally reconfirmed the forthcoming flick’s lately revised launch date, too, with Spider-Man 4 set to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026. Originally, Brand New Day was going to land in theaters worldwide on July 24, 2026, however its launch was delayed so it will not go up in opposition to The Odyssey, aka Christopher Nolan’s film reimagining of Homer’s historical Greek epic poem.

Taking to the stage throughout Sony’s presentation, director Daniel Destin Cretton additionally reaffirmed filming will start on Spider-Man’s newest MCU outing in mid-2025. Tom Holland, who performs the titular hero and his civilian identification Peter Parker, addressed the viewers through a pre-recorded message.

Given he has earlier kind for spoiling the plot of Marvel motion pictures, Holland erred on the facet of warning this time round. Indeed, after apologizing for not being on the occasion in-person – Holland is a part of The Odyssey‘s all-star solid, so he is presently filming that flick – he went to say about Spider-Man 4: “I do know we left you with a large cliff hanger on the finish of Spider-Man: No Way Home, so Spider Man: Brand New Day is a contemporary begin. It is strictly that. That’s all I can say.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s controversial title defined

Spider-Man 4‘s new title clearly alludes to the beginning of a *ahem* model new trilogy for the beloved wallcrawler that’ll start with this Marvel Phase 6 undertaking. No Way Home successfully closed the door on the newest chapter in Peter Parker’s life; the superpowered teenager starting anew after Doctor Strange solid a spell to make everybody – together with Peter’s girlfriend MJ and finest buddy Ned – neglect he was Spider-Man in No Way Home‘s ultimate act.

Nevertheless, the mere point out of the upcoming film’s subtitle is sufficient to ship a shiver down essentially the most devoted Spider-Man fan. Indeed, Brand New Day can be the title of a comic book guide storyline, which ran from January 2008 to July 2008, that adopted essentially the most controversial comedian collection within the Marvel hero’s 80-year-plus existence.

For the uninitiated: the ‘Brand New Day’ storyline was the sequel to the extraordinarily divisive ‘One More Day’ occasion. In the latter four-part collection, Peter and Mary Jane sacrificed their marriage to avoid wasting Aunt May’s life after she was shot by Kingpin. The Parkers made a take care of the demon lord referred to as Mephisto to spare Aunt May, however he’d erase the couple’s whole historical past so as to take action.

While followers praised Joe Quesada’s art work throughout the pages of the ‘Brand New Day’ comics, many had been infuriated by the choice to wipe out a long time of historical past between Peter and Mary Jane. Others referred to as the story “downright disrespectful” and that it not solely “undermined” Spider-Man lore, but additionally went in opposition to all the things the hero, plus the broader themes at play all through his illustrious historical past, stood for.

Fortunately, it is extremely unlikely that ‘Brand New Day’ might be tailored advert verbatim for Spider-Man 4. No Way Home was solely loosely impressed by ‘One More Day’, so I count on Brand New Day to eschew a lot of its comedian guide namesake’s story to inform an unique story as an alternative. Now, in regards to the character that Sadie Sink is reportedly going to play in Spider-Man 4, Sony and Marvel…
