As production on one 2026 MCU blockbuster, Avengers: Doomsday, continues in the UK, preparations are well underway for another to get started soon as sets are now being built in Glasgow, Scotland for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. As has been the case before, it seems as though Glasgow will serve, at least in par, as a stand-in for New York City and some signs spotted on set have answered one frequently discussed aspect of the new Spidey film.
As seen in the photos below, the fictional A.J. Huntley Construction Corps will have a pair of projects underway during the film and both are expected to be completed by December 2027, meaning at least part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be set before New Year 2028.
Connecting the dots we have, that means that the events of the fourth installment in the MCU-set Spidey franchise will take place BEFORE the post-credit scene of Thunderbolts* which has been confirmed to be a scene from Avengers: Doomsday. To summarize, Spider-Man Brand New Day will take place before Doomsday, not during or afterbas had often been rumored.
Setting the project before Avengers: Doomsday also provides an opening for star Tom Holland to appear in the next Avengers film, something that has also been subject to rumors and debate for the past year. Whether or not that will happen or how large of a role Holland might play if he does appear in Doomsday remains to be seen but for now, there’s finally some clarity about the new Spidey film.
