Spider-Man: Brand New Day premieres worldwide, filmed with UK stand‑ins

The fourth MCU‑Sony Spider‑Man film, Spider‑Man: Brand New Day, opened on July 31 2026 in the United States and Japan and rolled out across Latin America shortly after. The movie stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, presenting a more mature, emotionally complex version of the hero. Production did not shoot on location in New York; instead, Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom and the Scottish city of Glasgow were used to recreate Manhattan streets, with over fifty Glasgow roads closed for filming. Additional UK locations such as Basingstoke and Dorchester doubled as prison and other set pieces. The story introduces a new, unseen threat that forces Parker to confront his solitude while teaming with characters like the Hulk and the Punisher. Japanese release features a theme song by Mrs. GREEN APPLE and a Japanese dub with local voice actors. Critical response in the region has been positive, noting the film’s darker tone and the integration of new characters alongside familiar MCU elements.
