Industry reports indicate that Tom Holland might have a larger connection to Avengers: Doomsday than initially assumed. Although he is not officially part of the announced cast, several hints suggest Spider-Man could still play a role in the upcoming Marvel film.
According to insider Daniel Richtman, a brand-new trailer for Avengers: Doomsday is being created specifically to premiere alongside Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026. This move reportedly carries more significance than standard marketing coordination, suggesting Marvel Studios is planning a meaningful link between the two films.
“Marvel is developing a fresh trailer to accompany Holland’s film, just ahead of Doomsday’s release,” notes Richtman.
Further speculation emerged after reports claimed that the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer will debut with Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19, 2025. With one trailer already set for release, Marvel’s decision to produce another tied to Brand New Day has fueled curiosity about Holland’s potential comeback.
Another insider suggestion implies that if Holland does appear, his role would echo his Avengers: Infinity War contribution—limited screen time but significant emotional resonance.
The close release windows of both projects—Avatar: Fire and Ash in late 2025 and Spider-Man: Brand New Day in 2026—reinforce the belief that Marvel intends to interconnect these stories as part of its Phase 6 narrative arc.
Reports suggest Marvel may use Spider-Man’s upcoming film to foreshadow key links to Avengers: Doomsday, enhancing the buildup to the MCU’s Phase 6 finale.
