Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) [+]
Sep 09 2026
Spider-Man: Brand New Day in a theater which does help. This is the 4th Tom Holland Spider-Man movie.
After the ending of the last movie everybody's memories of Peter Parker (Tom Holland) were erased and he decided not to reveal himself again to MJ (Zendaya) or his best friend Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon). That means at the start of this movie he's alone in a dingy apartment battling crime and that's his whole life. He keeps up with MJ and Ned via their social media posts as they go to college and four years later it's still the same crime-fighting-no-life day to day for Peter.
A new supervillain enters the scene. Someone who can jump into bodies and take over their consciousnesses. He's targeting Damage Control (introduced in the first Tom Holland Spider-Man movie), a government organization tasked with imprisoning supervillains and examining their powers and tech. Seemingly the good guys as Peter starts investigating he'll come to realize Damage Control has some authoritarian/oppressive tendencies, CIA-level they're-on-your-side-until-they're-not sort of thing.
Frank Castle aka The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) is a supporting character sort of allied with Spider-Man but more like getting in Spidey's way because of his "it's fine to kill bad guys" tendencies. Later on though they do seem to become real friends. Bruce Banner aka The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) has a cameo role though also The Hulk becomes a Spidey enemy due to the big bad. Yelena Belova aka Black Widow (Florence Pugh) has a humorous cameo providing Spidey with info and not helping otherwise because her "Avengers" don't do small scale stuff anymore.
Overall I liked Brand New Day and seemed suitably cinematic.

Turns out the main villain is not a body jumper but a mind controller, Jean Grey (Sadie Sink). And I guess this ties into the X-Men reboot coming in 2028. I did like this surprise as I was thinking of the Wild Cards Jumpers but it's just that Grey's mind control can jump from body to body but only can jump 30 meters at a time.
