Spider-Man: Brand New Day Filming Unfolds Glasgow, Scotland

Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set for release in 2026, marks Tom Holland’s return as Spider-Man after a five-year break, with director Destin Daniel Cretton emphasizing practical effects and high-energy action. Filming in Glasgow, transformed to resemble New York City, has revealed a major action sequence involving Spider-Man chasing an armored tank driven by Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who is pursuing Michael Mando’s Scorpion. The film promises a grounded, street-level narrative focusing on Peter Parker as a solitary, financially struggling hero, who must navigate complex relationships, including teaming up with the Punisher to confront Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, whose rage is linked to a larger villainous plot. This approach distances itself from the multiversal storyline of No Way Home, instead spotlighting classic Spider-Man themes and street-level crime, with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige noting the director's dedication to faithfully adapting iconic comic covers. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon reprise their roles, while Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas join the cast, expanding the MCU’s character roster. The film is expected to lead into Avengers: Doomsday and further MCU installments, with a targeted release date of July 31, 2026.
