Spider-Man: Brand New Day – Last MCU Film Before Avengers: Doomsday In 2026

by

The next big Marvel movie, Avengers: Doomsday, is set to release during the 2026 holiday season. Interestingly, it will be only the second Marvel film released that year. Marvel has been releasing fewer movies lately—they had three in 2025, but only two are planned before Doomsday wraps up 2026.

Surprisingly, only Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts currently connect to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie. This leaves just one opportunity to properly introduce Doctor Doom before the next film, and it doesn’t look promising. The only movie scheduled for release before December is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Marvel’s Next Movie Releases In July 2026

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start for the character, following the conclusion of his initial three movies where he made everyone forget who he was. The film takes its name from a well-known, but divisive, Marvel comic book arc that also reset Spider-Man’s story, and Marvel Studios is hoping this new take will be more popular with fans.

Although Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in July, it’s just one of two Marvel Cinematic Universe films planned for 2026. This makes it the final opportunity to lay the groundwork for Avengers: Doomsday. Despite this, there’s currently nothing to suggest the movie will connect to the upcoming conflict with Doctor Doom.

The next Spider-Man movie is expected to focus on his fight against crime in the city, potentially bringing a major gang war from the comics to life. Villains like Tombstone, Mister Negative, and The Scorpion are rumored to be featured, and Hulk may also play a role in the story.

Although it doesn’t seem like this will directly lead to a massive event like Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man was heavily involved in the potential multiversal Incursions. By experimenting with magic and bringing together different versions of himself from past Spider-Man films – including those starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield – he may have disrupted the stability of the multiverse.

Will Spider-Man: Brand New Day Connect To Avengers: Doomsday?

Considering what happened in Spider-Man: No Way Home and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Doctor Doom could be targeting Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, as their actions may have led to a dangerous crisis. It’s currently unclear how this connection will play out.

There are a couple of possibilities for how the movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day might tie into Avengers: Doomsday. One idea is that it could be teased with a scene after the credits, much like what happened in Thunderbolts. We could see Doctor Doom appear, putting Spider-Man in a difficult situation.

Okay, so the movie’s hinting at a bigger conflict, and a lot of fans immediately jumped to the idea that Mister Negative would be the one to enrage the Hulk and trigger a fight with Spider-Man. But I’ve been thinking… what if that’s a misdirection? What if Doctor Doom, with his powerful magic, was actually the one manipulating Hulk, pushing him into a rage? It would be a far more interesting twist, and explain a lot. It’s a possibility that’s really got me thinking, and could elevate the stakes considerably.

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Doctor Doom’s actions against Spider-Man and Hulk might be a prelude to a larger scheme in Avengers: Doomsday, potentially weakening key players before making his final move. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s last opportunity to establish Doom’s plan before significant changes occur.
