With about a year left in the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, new set photos from the project have come to light that provide a rough estimate about when the film is set, with respect to the current MCU continuity. The 2026 film will see Tom Holland reprise his role of the iconic web-slinger for his fourth solo outing in the MCU after a hiatus of five years. While plot details regarding the project continue to remain under wraps, we now have a faint idea of the film’s timeline thanks to the recently released images from the set.
New Spider-Man: Brand New Day set photos suggest it happens before Avengers: Doomsday
A series of photos from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day have made their way onto the internet that highlight a few New York construction sites. While the images do not reveal much about the film’s story, they showcase the deadline for a building project, shedding light on the potential timeline of the movie. The signage claims that the construction work would wrap up in December 2027, confirming that the events of Spider-Man 4 will occur sometime that year. (via MCU Film News)
Notably, the timeline of this year’s Captain America: Brave New World falls between the years of 2026 and 2027. Meanwhile, the events of Marvel’s Thunderbolts* happened in 2027. Additionally, the post-credits scene of the latter film, which leads directly into Avengers: Doomsday, included a ’14 Months Later’ title card, confirming that the project will take place sometime between 2028 and 2029.
As such, Spider-Man: Brand New Day should happen before Avengers: Doomsday, provided that the aforementioned set photos are accurate. This goes against the previous speculations that claimed that the wall-crawler’s fourth outing in the MCU will take place between the two upcoming Avengers movies. Recent reports suggest that production on the film will commence in the coming days, with Spider-Man 4 on track to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
