Sony Boss Teases an “Incredible Spider-Man Movie”
Excitement is building fast for Spider-Man: Brand New Day — and now Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman is adding fuel to the hype.
In a recent interview, Rothman praised director Destin Daniel Cretton’s work on the upcoming Sony/Marvel blockbuster, calling the film both “surprising” and “terrific.”
“I think it’s going to be one of the most surprising and terrific movies — as a movie — [and] an incredible Spider-Man movie,” Rothman said.
“Destin has done a tremendous job, tremendous!”
While the studio has not yet seen a full cut of the film, Rothman confirmed he’s reviewed all the dailies — an early but meaningful sign of confidence from the top.
Is This Tom Holland’s Final Spider-Man Film?
Naturally, speculation is swirling around whether Brand New Day could mark Tom Holland’s final outing as Peter Parker.
When asked directly, Rothman kept things playful and mysterious:
“Next time Tom is on the line, ask him!”
For now, fans can rest easy knowing Holland is fully committed to the role — and deeply proud of the project.
A New Chapter for Peter Parker
Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up after the world has forgotten Peter Parker’s identity, following the events of No Way Home.
According to the official synopsis, Peter begins rebuilding his life while balancing:
- College classes
- Part-time work
- His responsibilities as New York’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man
But peace doesn’t last long.
As a mysterious force threatens the city from within, Peter is pulled into a conflict involving powerful enemies, lingering legacies, and unexpected allies — forcing him to redefine what it truly means to be a hero on his own.
Returning Favorites and Powerful New Characters
Alongside Tom Holland, the film sees the return of:

The cast also expands the Marvel universe with major additions, including:
