Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens Thursday July 31 — 10 days from now. Tom Holland returns for his fourth solo outing as Peter Parker. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Zendaya returns as MJ. The film picks up four years after No Way Home — Peter Parker living entirely alone after erasing himself from the memories of everyone he loves. The Avengers: Doomsday official trailer will be attached to Brand New Day screenings when it opens — meaning every theater showing Brand New Day will be screening the Doomsday trailer for the first time on a big screen.
