Tom Holland Returns in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’: First BTS Video Shows Fans on Set

USA August 11: Marvel fans have been treated to an unusual sight — the filming of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has begun in Glasgow, Scotland, and unlike previous MCU secrecy, the set has been open to fans from the start. Tom Holland, returning for his fourth solo outing as the web-slinger, appeared in a behind-the-scenes video from day one, sharing his excitement and revealing what makes this shoot different.

Now, Tom Holland has appeared in a new BTS video from day one on set, talking about the excitement, challenges, and more.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth film in the MCU’s Spider-Man series. It sees Tom Holland back in the OG red-and-blue suit. In a behind-the-scenes video shared by Sony, the actor speaks about his ‘fourth-ever day one’ on a Spider-Man film. “I feel good, man,” Holland says in the video, smiling as he talks about returning to the role. “It feels funny putting the suit on. It feels different this time, somehow. It’s also the first time we have had fans on set for day 1, so it’s really exciting to share this with them,” the actor says. 

The video shows Tom in the Spider-Man suit, lifting a little fan up in his arms, and posing with a few kids before getting back to the action.

The actor adds that there were ‘familiar faces’ among the cast and crew, promising he would do his best and ‘hopefully get it right’. “We’ve got some familiar faces on set. I’m just gonna do my best, hopefully get it right. No pressure,” he added.

The video then shows filming of an action sequence in which Tom, suited up as Spider-Man, stands on top of a moving tank and rips open its top hatch. There are also BTS shots of the actor standing on top of the vehicle. An image of the shot has gone viral on social media over the last few days.

Mark Ruffalo last appeared as Bruce Banner in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (2022). His potential inclusion in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is particularly notable as fans eagerly await confirmation of his involvement in Avengers: Doomsday, which is also in development. Set reports and speculation suggest Brand New Day may take place before the events of Avengers: Doomsday, allowing Marvel to organically weave Ruffalo back into the larger narrative.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film is produced by Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. Zendaya returns as MJ, while Sadie Sink and Liza Colon-Zayas join in undisclosed roles. Serving as the fourth chapter in the MCU’s Spider-Man saga, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for a July 2026 release.
