Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s leaked Avengers cameos suddenly make sense

July 2026 can’t get here soon enough if you’re a Spider-Man fan starved for Peter Parker (Tom Holland) stories in the MCU. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will premiere more than four years after the massive Spider-Man: No Way Home blockbuster that changed everything for the only Spidey version to appear in Marvel’s cinematic universe.

If you’ve followed the past several years of rumors, you probably know all about the Spider-Man 4 drama leaked by industry insiders. Behind the scenes, Sony and Marvel couldn’t agree on the scope of the story. Sony, whose Spider-Man Universe (SSU) has been a mess, wanted a big multiverse story for Spider-Man 4, hoping to recreate the success of No Way Home.

Marvel supposedly wanted a more grounded story that followed the soft reboot teased at the end of No Way Home. Peter has lost everything. The people he loved are either gone or don’t remember him. He’s without Stark tech for his Spider-Man suit and still has villains to face.

Then again, we might never know if those rumors were accurate. What’s clear is that the Spider-Man 4 announcement delays could actually benefit the Brand New Day storyline. Marvel has spent the past few years cleaning up its Multiverse Saga and trying to improve movie and TV quality.

The longer development time for Spider-Man 4 is good news. I’m not the biggest Spider-Man fan, but this beloved superhero needs a spot in the current MCU phase. He needs to fit in with the new Avengers lineup, and I’m not just talking about the Thunderbolts*. A big threat is coming in Doomsday, and Spider-Man has to help defend against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom.

While the Spider-Man 4 plot hasn’t leaked, more and more reports are detailing some major Avengers surprises in Brand New Day, giving us clues about the movie’s direction.

I can’t tell you any of that before I warn you that massive Spider-Man: Brand New Day spoilers might follow.
