'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' crew signals filming wrap in now-deleted post — here's everything we know

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the superhero flick stars Tom Holland, alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, and Mark Ruffalo

Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' has finally wrapped up filming, and we cannot be more excited. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the superhero flick is eyeing a Friday, July 31, 2026, release. In line with its tradition, Marvel Studios is leaving no stone unturned to keep details of the new movie under wraps. So much so that the post confirming the production of the superhero movie had been wrapped is now deleted, and we might know why.

Notably, Director Cretton's assistant, Ziyi Cao, posted a photo with the caption "Wrapping is always so emotional," noting she'd hugged everyone before they parted, as per Comic Book Movie. The post was later removed for unknown reasons, though it's likely she was asked to take it down so Sony/Marvel can announce the wrap themselves.

Although filming has ended, 'Brand New Day' still has reshoots planned for early next year, and despite several revealing set leaks, the team successfully kept certain details, like the identity of Sadie Sink's character, a secret. A recent video from the London set showed armed police tackling a woman to the ground, and although her face wasn't visible, she appeared to be wearing the same green-and-yellow coat Sink was seen in last month.

The set reports suggest Sink may be playing a villain, other sources say she'll actually be an ally to Holland's Peter Parker and part of a major twist—possibly introduced as one character before being revealed as another. Reportedly, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is also set to shake up the MCU, not just for Peter Parker but for another major hero as well. The movie becomes the first 'Spider-Man' film to feature the Hulk, making Mark Ruffalo's return as Bruce Banner in a story otherwise described as "street-level."

For the unversed, no version of the Hulk has ever appeared in any Spider-Man movie, making this a true first. Set photos show Banner looking disoriented on a stretcher, hinting he may have lost control and become the savage Hulk again, as per ScreenRant.

Not only that, 'Brand New Day' breaks a long-standing Marvel pattern at exactly the right moment, since Hulk is the hero who needs the boost most. He's only had one MCU solo film, and that is 2008's 'The Incredible Hulk'; ongoing rights issues make another standalone movie unlikely. Featuring him in a major Spider-Man film solves that problem, giving Hulk a high-profile platform in Marvel's most popular franchise and one of its most reliable box-office draws.
