Spider-Man 4 Fans Think Brand New Day Could Be Delayed Due to Avengers: Doomsday
A new rumor suggests Spider-Man 4: Brand New Day may face a delay to 2027. The shift would align with the recent schedule changes for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars and could reflect behind-the-scenes adjustments to the MCU timeline. While Sony has not confirmed a delay, ongoing production rumors and story placement hints have fueled fan speculation.
Why Avengers: Doomsday could cause Spider-Man 4 to get delayed
Following the official delays of Avengers: Doomsday to December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars to December 17, 2027, speculation about Spider-Man: Brand New Day has grown. Sony had originally scheduled the film for July 31, 2026. Based on sources and social media discussions, fans believe the release may shift to 2027 for three main reasons.
First, Sony has not yet started production on the Tom Holland-led film. Fans point to the lack of visible progress as evidence that the studio may not finish the film in time for a mid-2026 release. This situation mirrors Avengers: Doomsday, which faced a similar delay due to production and scheduling setbacks.
Second, there are persistent rumors that the creative team is still finalizing the story. One post from insider Daniel Richtman states, “Now that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set before Doomsday and not after, they gonna change the plot again like they did when it was supposed to come out after Doctor Strange 2.” This refers to prior instances where scheduling changes forced significant rewrites to fit the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.
Most notably, speculation centers on Spider-Man 4 taking place between the events of Doomsday and Secret Wars. As one fan posted, “Which means, Spider-Man 4 will also be going to be delayed.” If Brand New Day is intended to bridge the two Avengers films, its release may be strategically moved to 2027 to maintain continuity within the MCU narrative.
However, a delay is not confirmed. It remains possible the plot has shifted and Spider-Man 4 could now serve as a prelude to Doomsday. If so, Sony may keep its original July 2026 release date.
