In 2008, after an era where Peter Parker and Mary Jane were husband and wife (and Peter revealed his secret identity to the world during the comic book version of Civil War), their marriage was undone by Mephisto (AKA the devil in Marvel Comics), with no one, including Peter and Mary Jane, having any memory of it ever having occurred. As a result Peter Parker was single again as a byproduct, his secret identity was made secret again andthe Brand New Day comics that followed were something of a soft reboot for the character, with new supporting characters, new love interests, and new villains.That is similar to the status quo that was left by the events ofSpider-Man: No Way Home, when Hollands Peter Parker restored the multiverse byallowing Dr. Strange to cast a spell that would makeeveryone on Earth, including his girlfriend MJ and his buddy Ned, forget that he was Spider-Man. While I wouldnt expect any specific events from the Brand New Day comics to necessarily reoccur here, I imagine the vibe will be the same; Peter Parker on a new adventure, probably with a bunch of new characters around him.Spider-Man: Brand New Daywill open in theaters on July 31, 2026.Get our free mobile appMarvel Characters Who Arent in Avengers: DoomsdaySome of Marvels most popular stars were no-shows in the Avengers: Doomsday cast list.
