It’s already been four years since Spider-Man: No Way Home united Tom Holland’s version of the character with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s, and for a time, there were questions about whether Holland was hanging up his saddle as the character.

We’ve known that Spider-Man 4 was coming for some time, though, and now, we know the movie will be called Spider-Man: Brave New World. The title dropped at Cinema Con along with a release date of July 31, 2026.

Tom Holland wasn’t on hand for the presentation because he’s filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, but he promised that the title was appropriate to the film they were making. “I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie,” Holland said in a video. “I know we left you with a massive clip hanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say.”

“That’s all I’ve been allowed to say,” Holland added. “And I’m well over the hump of giving away spoilers, so don’t be worried. I’m not going to do that today.”

Director Destin Daniel Cretton was on-hand to present the project and spoke about how he’s approaching the film, which is set to shoot this summer.

“I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world,” Cretton hinted. “We’re all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”

While we don’t know exactly what the movie will be about, we do know that Holland’s Peter Parker is totally alone at the end of No Way Home, with everyone he loved having forgotten who he is. That means that there are endless possibilities for how Brand New Day might play out.

Scarlett Johansson is one of the stars of Jurassic World Rebirth, and to hear her tell it, she's been waiting for this moment for years. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Johansson spent years sending rumors of new Jurassic Park movies to her agents because she was simply that desperate to join the franchise.

“I was really crazy about the [original] film, and I slept in a Jurassic Park pup tent in my bedroom I shared with my sister for a year,” Johansson said about her enduring love for the franchise. “Anytime the trades would report a new ‘Jurassic’ movie, I would forward to my agents like, ‘Hey, I’m available.’”

Dune: Part II didn't make quite the impact at the Oscars that the first installment did, but nonetheless, the movie earned five nominations on top of an impressive box office haul. While the last Dune movie is still less than a year old, director Denis Villeneuve is already hard at work on the next one, which will bring the series to a close.

"I’m in the writing zone right now," Villeneuve said in an interview with Deadline before adding that he'll "go back behind the camera faster than I think."

From 2001 to 2011, the Harry Potter franchise was one of the most dominant ongoing franchises in Hollywood. The final installments seemed to cement the franchise as the definitive version of this story but in an era filled with reboots, it was only a matter of time before they came for Harry Potter. As casting news continues to leak out about the new Harry Potter series that HBO is developing, one of the original franchise's directors has weighed in on the new version of the story.

"The fact that they have the leisure of [multiple] episodes for each book, I think that's fantastic," director Christopher Columbus told People. "You can get all the stuff in the series that we didn't have an opportunity to do ... all these great scenes that we just couldn't put in the films."
