Marvel has finally answered one of the biggest questions hanging over Phase Six, and it is big news for anyone planning for a much-awaited theatre experience. Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks Tom Holland's first appearance as Peter Parker in four years, and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has now confirmed exactly where the film sits on the MCU timeline relative to December's massive ensemble event.

With Spider-Man missing from Avengers: Doomsday's official cast announcement, speculation has only grown. Fans continue to debate whether Peter Parker has a secret role or no role at all.

In a recent interview with Collider, Kevin Feige, alongside producer Amy Pascal, confirmed that Brand New Day takes place before Avengers: Doomsday. As for whether it directly connects to the Avengers event, he remained tight-lipped, saying only that it comes before it in the timeline.

The story picks up four years after Spider-Man: No Way Home. Since that film took place in 2024, Brand New Day is expected to be set around 2028, placing it in roughly the same timeframe as Avengers: Doomsday, following the timeline jump introduced in Thunderbolts.

"It takes place before", said Feige. Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theatres on July 31, 2026, with Avengers: Doomsday hitting the big screen on December 18. For MCU fans, that means the wait between Spider-Man's next adventure and the franchise's next Avengers epic will be surprisingly short.

While the timeline question has finally been answered, Spider-Man's absence from Avengers: Doomsday's announced cast remains just as intriguing.

Despite Brand New Day arriving just months before Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man is still missing from the Avengers film's officially announced cast. Reportedly, Tom Holland was filming another project during part of Doomsday's production, and fans have been left wondering just how big Peter Parker's role will be, whether it is a major appearance or a cameo.

With these theories and Kevin Feige’s statement, one thing is clear: Peter Parker's next chapter feels more important than ever. Whether it is hinting at Doomsday or Spider-Man’s new journey, fans will be paying close attention to every clue.
