Tom Holland says ‘Spider-Man 4’ will be a ‘breath of fresh air’

The much-awaited fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland seems to be taking shape finally.

According to Deadline, Holland, during a new chat with the YouTube series Flip Your Wig, opened up about the next instalment titled ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day.’ The actor said he’s excited to return as Peter Parker and revealed that the movie will use a more “old-school” style of filmmaking, with real locations and practical effects.

“I’m obviously over the moon and so excited. Playing Spider-Man is like hanging out with an old pal. I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID; we shot the entire film on stages.”

“It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it”

“Now, we’re really gonna lean into that old-school filmmaking and shoot in real locations, which is why we’re starting in Glasgow. We’re gonna use the streets of Glasgow to build this massive set-piece we’re putting together. So, it’s gonna feel like making [2017’s] Spider-Man 1 again. It’s been such a long time since I’ve done it, it’s gonna feel like a breath of fresh air, and I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we’re putting together,” he continued.

As per the publication, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ will hit theatres on July 31, 2026, with filming set to begin once Holland and co-star Zendaya finish working on Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

The movie will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Amy Pascal and Marvel boss Kevin Feige will produce the film once again.

New cast

Actors Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Colon-Zayas (The Bear) will join the cast; however, their roles have not yet been disclosed.

The last Spider-Man movie, No Way Home (2021), became a huge hit and earned nearly $2 billion worldwide, as per Deadline. The film ended with Peter Parker erasing his identity to save the world, setting up a clean slate for Brand New Day.
