Sony has given a brief update on Spider-Man: Brand New Day at Cinema Con 2026

Two new posters for the Marvel movie have been publicly released

Its first extended clip was shown behind-closed-doors, too

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's first extended clip has been revealed — but you won't be able to watch it online.

Shown during Sony's Cinema Con 2026 presentation yesterday (April 13), the footage is an expanded look at the apartment party scene briefly teased in Spider-Man: Brand New Day's first trailer. Sadly, it was exclusively shown to Cinema Con attendees, so the rest of us will have to make do with poring over the Marvel movie's inaugural teaser trailer for the umpteenth time instead.

In an attempt to dampen our disappointment over the footage's public no-show, Sony has also unveiled two new official posters for the Tom Holland-starring superhero film — I'm not sure which one I prefer.

Indeed, I really like the nostalgic feel of the first, which is a clear homage to those classic Tobey Maguire Spider-Man poster of the early 2000s, but I'm equally fond of the kinetic nature of Holland's Peter Parker barrelling into samurai sword-wielding members of The Hand. See which one of the aforementioned one sheets you prefer below:

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to thwip into theaters on July 31, 2026, so it's no surprise that Sony is ramping up its marketing campaign for one of 2026's most anticipated new movies.

Nonetheless, based on the descriptions I've read about Spider-Man 4's first clip, I'm surprised that it's the one that Sony decided to show off at Cinema Con. To discuss why, I need to put on my theory hat and forewarn you that, while I have no insider knowledge of its plot, potential spoilers for Brand New Day might follow. I'm also going to talk about Spider-Man: No Way Home's ending, so full spoilers also follow for that flick.

How Spider-Man 4's first clip might retcon No Way Home's ending — and impact Avengers 5 and 6

Before we get into Brand New Day's first clip, let's quickly remind ourselves about No Way Home's finale.

In the latter flick, Peter Parker convinced Doctor Strange to cast a spell on the entire world that would make it forget that Parker was Spider-Man. This was the only way to prevent other universes from colliding with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and causing a catastrophic Incursion event, which would've wiped out the MCU and its sister dimensions.

Long story short: Strange casts the spell and everyone, including Parker's girlfriend M. J. and best pal Ned Leeds, forgets that he's the iconic webslinger.

However, Spider-Man 4's first clip (as reported by IGN) revealed that Ned is not only aware of Spider-Man, but remembers that he's rescued Ned and his friends numerous times. Subsequently, Ned has created an app called the 'Spider-Tracker', which he wants to use to find Spidey, and personally thank him for saving Ned's life and those of his closest friends.

Crucially, Ned doesn't want the eponymous hero to reveal who he is. Even if he found the wallcrawler, then, Parker wouldn't have to unmask himself and potentially undo Strange's spell if Ned somehow recognizes him.

That said, Parker's already playing with fire by interacting with Ned and M. J at the apartment gathering I mentioned earlier. If one or both of them track down Spider-Man — and we've already seen in the film's first trailer that there'll be at least one interaction between him and M. J — what are the chances that Parker will give into his desire to reunite with his girlfriend and bestie, and reveal his true identity? Pretty high, if you ask me.

You don't need me to ahem spell out how damaging that would be, but I'll do it anyway. If Spider-Man unmasks himself, and Ned and/or M. J remembers him, in the Marvel Phase 6 movie, it'll nullify Strange's enchantment, which could cause a new Incursion.

The next two Avengers movies — Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars — will be centered on those cataclysmic multiversal events. If Parker gives into temptation and creates another Incursion, then, Brand New Day will have a bigger impact on the Multiverse Saga's multi-move capper than we may have thought.

We'll see if my theory is correct when Spider-Man 4 arrives later this year. In the meantime, find out everything we know so far about Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
