Filming Locations and Production Highlights

Holland began filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day on August 8, 2025, in Glasgow, Scotland, marking the first Spider-Man movie since 2021’s No Way Home. During production, the team briefly paused filming after Holland sustained a mild concussion in September, though he returned to the set by early October. Holland later confirmed he was feeling better and fully recovered.

The actor shared behind-the-scenes videos from the set, giving fans a glimpse of the action-packed shoot. Despite the challenges, Holland’s commitment to his role as Spider-Man remained steadfast, earning praise from both the director and his co-stars.

Returning Cast and New Faces

Holland’s co-star, Zendaya, is set to reprise her role as Michelle “MJ” Jones, despite her character losing memories of Peter Parker in No Way Home. The couple, who became engaged during the 2024 holiday season, were seen spending time together on the set in London in August.

Returning cast members include Jacob Batalon as Ned and Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan. New additions to the Spider-Man universe include Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) and Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), both joining the cast to bring fresh dynamics to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Early teasers hint at exciting multiverse storylines and character arcs that will challenge Spider-Man in new ways.

Holland’s dedication to his role, coupled with the talent of his co-stars, promises a thrilling cinematic experience for Marvel fans. The film will be released just two weeks after Holland and Zendaya’s other project, The Odyssey, premieres on July 17, 2026, making it a blockbuster summer for the couple.
