Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for release in Indian cinemas on July 30, a day ahead of its worldwide theatrical debut on July 31.
The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, runs for around 144 minutes and will release in India in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada.
Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker and Spider-Man, with Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, alongside Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman and Michael Mando.
Set four years after Spider-Man: No Way Home, the plot follows Peter Parker in a world where no one remembers him, as he protects New York City while going through a mysterious physical transformation.
The official trailer, out since April 1, shows Peter reconnecting with MJ and Ned while dealing with Frank Castle and the changes affecting him.
India’s Central Board of Film Certification awarded the film a UA 13+ rating after ordering the removal of a kissing scene and some strong language, along with a mandated alcohol warning on screen.
The film is produced by Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios with Pascal Pictures, continuing the joint Sony-Marvel arrangement for the character.
Cinema chains and online ticketing platforms in India have already opened bookings for the film’s release.
Its predecessor, Spider-Man: No Way Home, took in $1.92 billion worldwide in 2021, making it the highest-grossing film in the franchise 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.
