Brand New Days follows the events of No Way Home, with the spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) causing the world to forget Spider-Man's real identity and erasing all memories of Peter from those closest to him, including girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon).

Destin Daniel Cretton ( Shang-Chi) is directing the film, which just started filming this week and is aimed at a July 31, 2026, release date. That’s a tight turnaround for a movie of this size, but it’s similar to what Marvel Studios did with Fantastic Four last year.
