As we already know, ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘ is the continuation of the ‘wall crawler’ saga in the mainstream Marvel storyline. But unlike his previous adventures, which were tied to his Avengers and multiverse chaos, this chapter is rumoured to dive into a completely isolated Peter Parker. After the world forgets who he is, he begins from zero. So, no Stark tech, no allies, and no identity to fall back on.
And that’s exactly what has fueled fan speculations. Instead of cosmic threats, this film is said to return Spider-Man to his street-level roots, where we will probably see him face crime lords, moral dilemmas, and possibly even the arrival of the symbiote suit. With so many ongoing rumours flooding our Reddit and X feeds, here are some of the most popular ones that have probably surprised Tom Holland himself.
1. A Gritty, Street-Level Story
The next film will feature a street-level story, as reiterated by director Kevin Feige’s public comments to make Spider-Man grounded again. The plot will reportedly see Peter Parker truly embracing the “friendly neighborhood” aspect of his character, dealing with crime lords and city-level threats.
Many rumours say this movie will return Spider-Man to basic street crime. Instead of fighting aliens or other dimensions, Peter may deal with local criminals, gangs, and problems around the city. This will show him as a simple hero who helps ordinary people. Fans feel this is closer to classic Spider-Man from the comics.

2. Daredevil And Kingpin To Play Major Roles
Charlie Cox (Daredevil) and Vincent D’Onofrio (Kingpin) are already part of the MCU, so fans believe they may appear in this film. Spider-Man might work with Daredevil to stop Kingpin, who could be controlling crime in New York.
3. The Symbiote Suit Is Coming
At the end of the post-credits scenes of the previous movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, we saw a piece of the Venom symbiote left behind in the Marvel universe. Many fans think this will lead to Peter wearing the black suit. The symbiote is known to change Peter’s behaviour, and will probably make him more aggressive. This could bring a darker phase in his life.

4. A New Love Interest: Black Cat
In the comics and Spiderman games, Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. the Black Cat, is a recurring love interest for Peter Parker. There are now rumours that Felicia Hardy, also known as Black Cat, might be seen in this film too. If she appears, she may bring new emotional challenges for Peter, especially since he no longer has MJ beside him.
5. Zendaya And Jacob Batalon’s Return In A New Context
Zendaya (MJ) and Jacob Batalon (Ned) are expected to return, but their characters do not remember Peter anymore. The plot will reportedly feature Peter stalking them from a distance, wrestling with his decision to keep them safe by staying away. This would basically force Peter into a lonely life of watching his friends move on without him.
If these rumors are true, ‘Brand New Day‘ may remind us why Spider-Man has always been different from other heroes. Even without recognition or support, Peter Parker keeps choosing to do the right thing.
