Tom Holland is giving fans something to chew on ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In a rare move for a Marvel actor, Holland opened up about the new direction the film is taking, and it’s all about going old school.
In an interview with Flip Your Wig, Holland reflected on the limitations faced while filming No Way Home during the pandemic. “We were really restricted… we shot the entire film on stages,” he shared. This time, however, they’re heading outside. “We’re really gonna lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations,” Holland said.
One of those real locations? The streets of Glasgow, which will host a major action set piece. “It’s gonna feel like a breath of fresh air, and I think the fans are gonna be over the moon,” Holland added.
Though details about the plot remain under wraps, this marks the first substantial update on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026. Marvel fans will also see Jon Bernthal’s Punisher in the film, adding another layer of excitement to the already anticipated sequel.
While Holland didn’t spill major spoilers, his comments offer insight into both the production approach and his enthusiasm for the next chapter. And for fans who missed the kinetic energy of real-world set pieces in recent superhero films, this throwback to practical locations might be exactly what they’ve been hoping for.
