Tom Holland is swinging into his fourth Spider-Man film — and don’t expect it to be his last.

At the Los Angeles premiere for Spider-Man: Brand New Day on Monday, the star reflected on his long journey with the character, telling The Hollywood Reporter, “There’s a family here at Marvel and Sony. We’ve been making these movies for 10 years and we’re all really good friends and we all still really love working with together and there’s a shorthand, there’s a collaboration, there is a shared love for this character that is Peter Parker. When we all get together, it always feels like something magical happens, and to get to do it time and time again is something that will never really sink in for me. It still feels like this is my first-ever premiere for this character. It has been the gift of my life.”

The new movie is set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter Parker has been anonymously protecting New York City until his superpowers undergo a surprising and potentially dangerous evolution.

First reactions to the film hit social media soon after the premiere ended.

Asked about his future as the superhero, Holland responded with a smile, “I will do it for as long as they’ll have me. So if this movie does good, I guess we’ll see!” That’s probably a pretty safe bet, as Brand New Day is expected to be one of the biggest movies of the year at the box office — on the heels of fellow smash The Odyssey, also starring he and Zendaya.

It’s finally here, and judging by initial reactions, it’s going to be a monster hit.

Sony and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day held its glitzy, star-packed world premiere at the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood on Monday night, and not long after the screening ended, the first reactions began to flood social media.

Destin Daniel Cretton‘s Brand New Day is the fourth standalone Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe — as well as the 38th film overall in the MCU — and picks up the action after 2021’s near $2 billion-grossing Spider-Man: No Way Home. The films once again are led by Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, as well as Zendaya as Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson and Jacob Batalon as Peter’s best friend Ned Leeds.

The MCU’s Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/Punisher, Michael Mando’s Mac Gargan/Scorpion and Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner/Hulk also appear in the film. New cast members include Severance‘s Tramell Tillman and Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, the latter of whom is playing an unknown character which has led to feverish speculation online.

“Keeping what Sadie’s doing under wraps, you’ll honestly understand when you see the movie. The movie is a better movie if you don’t know certain things,” Cretton said in a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

The plot of Brand New Day follows the end of No Way Home, with the world — including MJ and Ned — having forgotten who Peter Parker is. Four years on, Peter is still protecting New York City as Spider-Man and he links up with street vigilante the Punisher to take on the likes of the Scorpion, all while his own powers undergo a new evolution.

Brand New Day is written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who both co-wrote the other Holland Spider-Man films, including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). The film is produced Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O’Connor. The film is part of Phase Six of the MCU and is followed by December’s Avengers: Doomsday in the Marvel continuity.

Full critics reviews for Brand New Day are embargoed till July 28, the movie is release in theaters on July 31. Below see a selection of the early social media reaction to the film posted on Monday evening.

Michael B. Jordan is finally giving his thoughts on David Jonsson being cast as the new Black Panther in Ryan Coogler‘s upcoming third installment in the superhero franchise.

At Comic-Con 2026 over the weekend, Marvel revealed that Jonsson will star as an adult version of the son of T’Challa, portrayed by the late Chadwick Boseman in the 2018 original. Black Panther 3 will also film on 70mm and hit theaters Dec. 15, 2028.

A few days after the announcement, Entertainment Tonight caught Jordan at the Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiere in Los Angeles Monday night to ask him about his thoughts on the casting.

“Oh, I love it. It’s amazing! I can’t wait, can’t wait!” the Oscar winner said in an excited tone.
