Holland's Spider-Man seen riding tank in set photos

Production has officially commenced on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with lead actor Tom Holland sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses of himself suited up while filming atop military vehicles.

The fourth solo installment starring Holland as Marvel's beloved web-slinger is currently filming in Glasgow, Scotland, where city streets have been transformed into a dramatic action setpiece. Recent photos show Holland's Spider-Man perched atop armored military hardware - a far cry from his usual subway-surfing transportation.

The actor posted the images to his Instagram with the caption "Spider-Man Brand New Day Day 1," but the real spectacle unfolded publicly as Glasgow residents captured spontaneous footage of the superhero filming. One particularly enthusiastic fan caught the perfect reaction:

A Fresh Start for Peter Parker

Scheduled for July 2026 release, Brand New Day picks up after the emotionally charged conclusion of No Way Home. Holland's Spider-Man begins this new chapter essentially alone - having made the heartbreaking choice to erase himself from MJ (Zendaya) and Ned's (Jacob Batalon) memories.

The film introduces several new faces while bringing back familiar ones in altered capacities. Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) joins in a mysterious key role, while Jon Bernthal reprises his fan-favorite portrayal of Frank Castle/The Punisher.

Marvel Universe Connections

Recent reports suggest Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Michael Mando's Scorpion will appear alongside subtle hints pointing toward the story's primary antagonist. Interestingly, Spider-Man and Hulk currently remain conspicuously absent from announced Avengers: Doomsday casting - despite both franchises currently in production.

Meanwhile, Bernthal continues filming his Punisher series revival in New York. All three Marvel projects are slated for release within the coming year, creating exciting crossover potential.
