Spider‑Man: Brand New Day Begins Filming, Watch Out for Spoilers!

Glasgow is now the apple of Marvel’s eye. As the city is decked out in yellow taxis, NYPD cars and skyscraper-style façades, Marvel’s next Spider-Man movie, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” has swung into action, turning Scotland into New York City for an epic new chapter in Peter Parker’s journey.

Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially kicked off in Glasgow, Scotland. The city is being redressed as New York City straight out of a classic streetscape. Over the coming weeks, Glasgow’s roads will be filled with American flags, faux hot dog carts, and police cars bearing NYPD markings. Major streets are closed as the production sets up multiple large scale action scenes.

Landing back in his red and blue suit, Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker. This time he is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for directing Shang-Chi, bringing a fresh tone to Spider-Man’s world. Zendaya returns as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds. Also joining the cast is Sadie Sink, with her role still under wraps. Adding to the excitement, Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, a character who could amplify the street-level grit hinted at in early announcements.

Tom Holland described the production as a nod to classic filmmaking, saying the crew is embracing “real locations” after the COVID-era constraints made No Way Home heavily studio-bound. Holm suggestions that the production style may capture the same grounded feel fans loved in Homecoming.

Sony and Marvel have locked in a July 31, 2026 release date. Behind-the-scenes photos show Glasgow being dressed like a busy Manhattan block with building facades. One prop sets the year as 2027, offering a clue to where the movie fits in the MCU timeline. Observers believe the events in Brand New Day may take place before Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, aligning it closer to a mid‑2027 setting.

With 60 roads slated to close, fans are expecting sprawling sequences involving web‑swinging, car chases, or even a showdown involving Punisher. Some speculate that Jon Bernthal’s character may clash with Spider-Man over moral boundaries in urban crimefighting drama, marking a tonal shift from world‑saving heroics to street‑level conflict.

No full plot details have been confirmed yet. Fans are eager to know how Liza Colón‑Zayas fits in, and whether Zendaya’s MJ and Ned will finally regain their lost memories following No Way Home. The film is also expected to tie into broader Phase Six narrative threads leading toward Avengers: Doomsday.

As Glasgow pulses with Hollywood energy, Marvel continues its momentum in Phase Six of the MCU. Expect more teasers and possibly behind‑the‑scenes glimpses in coming weeks. For now audiences can prepare for Spider-Man swinging through an all‑new story rooted in gritty realism, classic city fight scenes, and the next chapter in Peter Parker’s evolution.
