How This Affects the Film

The movie, titled "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," is set for release on July 31, 2026. According to insiders, the injury shouldn't impact the release schedule. If needed, some scenes can be shot with stunt doubles while post-production continues in parallel.

There's precedent for this: Tom Cruise broke his leg filming "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" and proved that such delays can be managed through smart editing and schedule adjustments.

What We Know About the Plot

"Brand New Day" will be Holland's fourth solo Spider-Man film and the 38th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing.

The story sees Peter Parker returning to New York's street-level crime fighting: after the events of "No Way Home," the world has forgotten who he is, and now the hero faces criminals head-on once again.

Zendaya returns as MJ, while Jacob Batalon comes back as Ned — fans suspect his character might be getting a dark Hobgoblin storyline. We at zoomboola.com previously covered Batalon's potential transformation in detail, along with all the actors set to appear in the new film.
