Los Angeles, CA – A new Spider-Man film, tentatively titled Spider-Man: A New Day, is officially in development with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm. The project promises a unique storyline centered around Garfield’s Spider-Man embarking on a multiversal journey that ultimately results in his complete erasure from collective memory, even impacting his relationship with Mary Jane Watson.
The screenplay will be penned by Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, the writing duo behind Spider-Man: No Way Home. Their previous collaboration successfully navigated the complexities of the multiverse within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, suggesting a similar approach for this upcoming installment.
Currently slated for release on July 30, 2026, Spider-Man: A New Day will mark cretton’s second venture into the superhero genre following the success of Shang-Chi, which grossed over $432 million worldwide. The film’s premise, involving a forgotten Spider-Man, diverges significantly from established narratives, perhaps exploring themes of identity, loss, and the fragility of reality within the MCU.
Details regarding the casting of other Spider-Man iterations or supporting characters remain undisclosed. Production is expected to begin in late 2025, with principal photography potentially taking place at pinewood Atlanta Studios, a frequent location for Marvel Studios productions. The film is being produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, and executive producers include Louis D’esposito and victoria Alonso.
