Destin Daniel Cretton is directing Spider-Man: Brand New Day , the upcoming Spider-Man film often shortened by fans to just Brand New Day.

Quick Scoop: Who Is Directing Brand New Day?

If by “Brand New Day” you mean the new Spider-Man movie everyone’s talking about, the director is Destin Daniel Cretton. He previously directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for Marvel, and he’s now taking over the Spider-Man franchise from Jon Watts for this fourth Tom Holland-led film.

A few fast facts:

  • The full title is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
  • It stars Tom Holland returning as Peter Parker, alongside Zendaya and others.
  • Cretton has teased a noticeable “tonal shift” — still the Spider-Man fans love, but framed as a new chapter or “rebirth” for the character.
  • The film is slated for a 2026 release, with July 31 currently listed as the expected date.

If you meant a different “Brand New Day” (for example, another movie, show, or project using that title), tell me which one and I can narrow it down.
