The Comics Behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026 Film)

Ranked

versedb Staff

Spider-Man: Brand New Day reached theaters on July 31, 2026, with Destin Daniel Cretton directing and Tom Holland back as Peter Parker. The film borrows its name from a landmark comics era and leans on a street-level set of villains. This list is where those pieces began on the page. It opens with the 2008 story the movie is named for, then traces the first appearances of the foes and allies the film draws on, from the Scorpion to the Punisher to Tombstone. Read it start to finish to see how one movie title reaches back through decades of Spider-Man comics.
