‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Teases Tom Holland's New Costume: ‘Something Brand New Is Coming'
A nine-second video shows a close-up of Holland's Spidey suit with the caption 'something brand new is coming.' It was posted on Aug. 1, which happens to be national Spider-Man Day.

Jon Bernthal's Punisher Set for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' With Tom Holland
At the end of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' there's a quick shot of Holland swinging through New York City in a new suit that resembles the classic, bright red-and-blue costume from the comics. At first glance, the 'Brand New Day' teaser seems like it's similar to that costume, with its sharper colors and raised black edges. There's also a faint, black spider webbing design that's a nod to the original Marvel comics.
Marvel fans will have to wait a year for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' which is the next entry in the MCU. Holland will suit up and swing back into theaters on July 31, 2026.
The fourth 'Spider-Man' film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton from a screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Cretton is no stranger to the MCU as he previously helmed 2021's 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.' That Marvel film was praised for its crazy kung-fu action sequences and story, which seems like a great fit for Holland's wall-crawling superhero.
'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' will see the return of fellow franchise stars like Zendaya, who plays Peter Parker's girlfriend M.J. Jones-Watson, and Jacob Batalon, who's his best friend Ned Leeds. There are some major additions to the cast as well, like Jon Bernthal, who plays the violent Punisher. He was last seen in Season 1 of 'Daredevil: Born Again' and is expected to return for Season 2, along with a TV special. Bernthal's 'The Bear' co-star Liza Colón-Zayas is also joining 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' as is 'Stranger Things' standout Sadie Sink. Their roles remain mysteries, but fans have theorized Sink could be playing the red-haired 'X-Men' character Jean Grey, who's a powerful telepath.
The last time Holland suited up as Spidey was in 2021's 'No Way Home,' which saw past Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield cross over into the MCU. After the heroes defeated several multiversal villains, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange casted a spell that made everyone in the world forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man.

Disney+ Oversaturation Backfires as Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar Face Brand Damage: "People Don't Care Now" — GeekTyrant
When Disney+ first launched, it felt like a dream for fans. It gave us The Mandalorian , WandaVision , and long-awaited character spotlights that wouldn't have made it to the big screen for these franchises. But five years later, the dream is showing cracks. A new report breaks down how Disney's biggest franchises such as Marvel, Star Wars , and Pixar have been worn down by an overstuffed content pipeline, and now the fallout is real. Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, didn't sugarcoat things recently: "It was just too much. It was a big company push. And it doesn't take too much to push us to go. There was a mandate that we were put in the middle of." That mandate pushed Marvel into overdrive, delivering shows like Moon Knight and She-Hulk , while also expanding the MCU with supporting characters like Loki and the Scarlet Witch . It was exciting at first, but the novelty wore off fast. According to The Wrap, the studio's declining momentum has led to a significant subscriber loss. 700,000 Disney+ users in Q1 of 2025 alone. One anonymous producer with Marvel experience said: "Given the quality of the Marvel Disney+ output has been incredibly mediocre, it's dragged the entire brand down and diluted its creative. People don't care now." That sense of burnout isn't exclusive to Marvel. Star Wars has also suffered from its own content overload. A marketing executive shared: "When you went to a Star Wars movie, it used to be special. But there's a difference between let's have a movie every four years versus let's have three shows on the air all the time and have a movie every year." Lucasfilm seems to be adjusting. Besides a second season of Ahsoka , Star Wars has pulled back on streaming series. Films like The Mandalorian and Grogu are heading to theaters, aiming to recapture the magic. But perhaps the harshest reality check came from Dave Gonzales, co-author of MCU: The Reign of Marvel Studios . He explained: "I do think that it has eroded the branding. All of the sub-brands have been eroded. They were finally getting to do what they wanted to do – put everything in development. 'Marvel remade how they made franchise movies but they thought they could do the same thing with television – you can't. They think they're more nimble than they actually are." Shows like WandaVision may have broken ground, but they also cost hundreds of millions to produce, without bringing in the same return as box office blockbusters. Then there's Pixar. Of all the major Disney brands, it's been hit hardest. The move to release films like Soul and Turning Red straight to streaming weakened the prestige Pixar once carried. Meanwhile, other arms like Walt Disney Animation and Walt Disney Studios have largely escaped the fallout, in part because they weren't pushed as aggressively on Disney+. Now, Disney is playing catch-up. There's a strategic shift happening. Marvel is easing back, with just one or two Disney+ shows planned per year moving forward. These series will mostly be stand-alone stories, disconnected from the broader film narratives. Titles like Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps haven't lit the box office on fire, but they've been well-received critically, which is a possible sign of recovery. Only time will tell if that's enough. For now, it's clear that Disney's ambitious streaming plans over the past few years may have hurt the very franchises that made it a powerhouse in the first place.

Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver Fighting in ‘Marriage Story' Is Being Used by the USDA to Scare Off Wolves and Save Cattle: ‘They Need to Know Humans Are Bad'
A new report from The Wall Street Journal reveals that audio of Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver screaming at each other in Noah Baumbach's 'Marriage Story' is being used by the United States Department of Agriculture to scare off wolves from killing cattle and scaring livestock on farms across the America. The fight scene is the most emotionally volatile moment in Baumbach's 2019 drama, which earned both Johansson and Driver Oscar nominations. Per the WSJ: 'Riding to the rescue are drone cowhands, whose quadcopters have thermal cameras that can reveal any wolf lurking in the darkness and bathe it in a spotlight. A loudspeaker broadcasts alarming sounds like fireworks, gunshots and people arguing. One recording is of the fight between Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in the movie 'Marriage Story.'' More from Variety Jessica Chastain, Adam Driver to Star in Apple Series 'The Dealer' Cannes Film Festival Starts to Take Shape: Spike Lee, Wes Anderson, Kristen Stewart, Jim Jarmusch, Ari Aster, Richard Linklater Vying for Competition Slots Adam Driver Off-Broadway Play 'Hold on to Me Darling' Recoups $1.8 Million Investment (EXCLUSIVE) 'I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad,' a USDA district supervisor in Oregon told the publication. 'Wolf hazing,' as the practice is called, also uses loud music like AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' to scare off deadly wolves. The USDA has relied on drones because gray wolves had long been on the federal government's list of endangered species. The process seems to be working. As the WSJ reported: 'Drones were deployed in the Klamath Basin of southern Oregon after 11 cows were killed by wolves there in a 20-day period. Over the next 85 days when drones were on patrol, only two were killed.' 'Marriage Story' stars Johansson and Driver as a couple going through a bitter divorce and custody battle over their son. The movie earned critical acclaim after premiering at the 2019 Venice Film Festival. Variety's Owen Gleiberman named 'Marriage Story' the second best movie of 2019. 'Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, in spectacular performances that work together with searing intimacy, enact the anger, pride, despair, and passion of a couple who tear their relationship apart, and their souls too, even as they both struggle to remain whole inside,' Gleiberman wrote. ''Marriage Story' tells the story of divorce in our time, and in doing so it earns a place next to those harrowing and heartrending texts of separation, 'Kramer vs. Kramer' and 'Scenes from a Marriage.''
