Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases in Indian cinemas July 30

Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases in Indian cinemas on July 30, a day before its worldwide theatrical release on July 31.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film has a runtime of about 144 minutes and will release in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.

Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, alongside Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, with Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman and Michael Mando also featuring.

The story is set four years after Spider-Man: No Way Home, following Peter Parker in a world that no longer remembers him, as he protects New York City while undergoing a mysterious physical transformation.

The official trailer, released on April 1, shows Peter reconnecting with MJ and Ned while navigating his encounter with Frank Castle and the changes he faces.

The Central Board of Film Certification has given the film a UA 13+ rating, after directing the removal of a kissing scene and some strong language, along with a mandated on-screen alcohol warning.

The film is produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios alongside Pascal Pictures, continuing the joint Sony-Marvel arrangement for the character.

Bookings for the film’s Indian release are already open through major cinema chains and online ticketing platforms.

The previous film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, collected $1.92 billion worldwide in 2021, making it the highest-grossing Spider-Man film to date and the only pandemic-era release to cross $1 billion globally.

The film continues Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios’ joint arrangement for the Spider-Man franchise, which has combined Marvel’s creative oversight with Sony’s distribution of the character’s solo films.

Tom Holland first played Peter Parker in a small role in Captain America: Civil War in 2016, before headlining his own trilogy of Spider-Man solo films and appearing in multiple Avengers ensemble movies.
