In global cinema news, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures provided a major update today regarding the fourth installment of the Spider-Man franchise starring Tom Holland. Production is officially slated to begin in London this July, with director Destin Daniel Cretton taking the helm. Crucially, industry reports confirmed today that Zendaya will indeed return as MJ, ending months of speculation regarding her involvement in the new trilogy arc.

The film is reportedly titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and the plot is expected to deal with the aftermath of the memory-wipe spell from the previous film, No Way Home. Sources suggest that the story will be more "grounded" and street-level, potentially featuring a crossover with Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, following the success of the Born Again series on Disney+.

The 2026 release calendar is already becoming crowded, but Sony has tentatively staked out a July 2026 slot for the wall-crawler’s return. This news has sent shockwaves through the fan community, as it confirms that the "Homecoming" era has truly evolved into a more mature chapter for Peter Parker within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
