Spider-Man

The film Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens July 31, 2026, in Japan and the U.S., with a promotional campaign that includes a Japanese theme song by Mrs. GREEN APPLE, a Happy Kuji lottery, and premium format screenings. A Shueisha manga collaboration with Marvel is ending September 30.

Synthesized from 13 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the next Tom Holland Spider-Man film, is set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film follows a lonely Peter Parker facing a new threat, including a physical mutation caused by the pressure of being Spider-Man. A character relationship chart and video released by Marvel introduce villains including a mind-manipulating hooded figure, Scorpion, The Hand, Boomerang, Tarantula, and Tombstone, as well as allies Hulk and Punisher. The video suggests the hooded figure knows about Peter Parker and MJ's erased relationship.

The film's promotional campaign has been extensive. Mrs. GREEN APPLE provides the Japanese theme song 'Brand New,' written and composed by vocalist and guitarist Motoki Ohmori, which plays over the end credits of the Japanese dubbed version. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, producer Amy Pascal, and music supervisor Dave Jordan met with the band in Los Angeles, and director Destin Daniel Cretton held online meetings with them. Tom Holland performs most of his own stunts with minimal CG, and Cretton frames the action as a practical homage to Marvel comic covers. The film is the first produced as a Shot For SCREENX project, meaning it was designed from the planning stage and shot with SCREENX-specific cameras. It will screen in seven premium large formats including SCREENX, 4DX, ULTRA 4DX, MX4D, Dolby Cinema, and Dolby Atmos, plus standard 2D; IMAX is not among the announced formats.

Merchandise and tie-ins include a Happy Kuji lottery from Sunny Side Up, on sale from August 7, 2026, at FamilyMart, Lawson, Ministop, Ito-Yokado, hobby shops, and online, with prizes including a Spider-Man Swing Statue and a Hulk Diorama Statue. A promotional video shows Tom Holland's Peter Parker encountering Lionel Messi at a New York cafe. Separately, Shueisha announced that its contract with Walt Disney Japan for Marvel character manga adaptations, including Spider-Man: Bonds and Spider-Man: Octopus Girl, will end September 30, 2026, with physical copies sold only while stocks last and digital versions removed from e-book stores by that date.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE to Perform Japanese Theme Song for Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Mrs. GREEN APPLE will provide the Japanese theme song for the film 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' which opens in Japan and the US on July 31. The band's new track, 'Brand New,' was written and composed by vocalist and guitarist Motoki Ohmori. It will play over the end credits of the Japanese dubbed version. The collaboration was announced via a video message from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

The film is set four years after 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and follows a lonely Peter Parker facing a new threat.
