By Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release in Indian cinemas on July 30, a day ahead of its global theatrical debut on July 31.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, runs for approximately 144 minutes, and will be released in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, joined by Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, along with Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman and Michael Mando.
Set four years after Spider-Man: No Way Home, the story follows Peter Parker living in a world where no one remembers him, as he protects New York City amid a mysterious physical transformation.
The film’s trailer, released on April 1, shows Peter reconnecting with MJ and Ned while dealing with his encounter with Frank Castle and the changes he is undergoing.
The Central Board of Film Certification has cleared the film with a UA 13+ rating, after ordering the removal of a kissing scene and some strong language, along with a mandated alcohol warning display.
The film is produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios in association with Pascal Pictures, continuing the joint Sony-Marvel arrangement for the character.
Ticket bookings for the film’s release are already open through major Indian cinema chains and online platforms.
The franchise’s last outing, Spider-Man: No Way Home, grossed $1.92 billion worldwide in 2021, the highest total for any Spider-Man film and the only pandemic-era release to top $1 billion globally.
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.
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.
