Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set for a summer 2026 release! The fourth installment was almost a certainty after the mega-success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which came out on December 17, 2021, and made over $1.9 billion at the worldwide box office. The MCU movie became the seventh highest-grossing movie of all time at the worldwide box office and the third highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office at the time.

In March 2026, Marvel Studios unveiled the Brand New Day trailer, which shows Peter going through a transformation and potentially losing his powers.

So, what do we know about Spider-Man: Brand New Day? Hollywood Life has rounded up all the news you need to know about Spider-Man 

What We Know About Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed Spider-Man 4 ahead of the release of Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. “All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now,” Kevin told EW about the fourth Spider-Man film in an interview that was published on February 14, 2023. Kevin didn’t divulge any details about the plot for Spider-Man 4, but this is an exciting update nonetheless.

Amy had previously noted that more Spider-Man movies were in the works. “This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie,” Amy revealed to Fandango while promoting No Way Home. “We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”

A few weeks after Amy’s Fandango interview, Kevin revealed to the New York Times, “Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about — yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next, which I only say outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after Far From Home. That will not be occurring this time.”

During an October 2024 interview with The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon, Tom Holland confirmed that the cast has a filming date set. He shared, “Next summer, we start shooting. Everything’s good to go. We’re nearly there.”

A year later, a rumor circulated online about Zendaya’s character MJ’s new relationship with Harry Osborn, but it hasn’t been verified yet.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day 2026 Release Date

Spider-Man; Brand New Day will be released in theaters on July 31, 2026.

Tom is suiting up again as everyone’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man! Previously, however, there were some doubts over whether or not he’d return.

Ahead of No Way Home’s release, the actor was mulling over his future as the superhero. “Maybe it is time for me to move on,” he told GQ. “Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film. I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life.” He added, “If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”

Tom later backtracked on his words and said he had been “misconstrued.” He told Extra, “I don’t know what the future of Spider-Man looks like. I don’t know whether I’m going to be a part of it. Spider-Man will always live on in me, and I know that [producer] Amy [Pascal] and the studio are keen to figure out what the next chapter of Spider-Man looks like. If that happens to be with me, then that’s very exciting but, you know, if it’s time for me to walk away then I’ll do so proudly.”

He continued, “What I was referring to, in that interview, it’s because I would be taking up an opportunity for someone to come in and change what being Spider-Man means. Spider-Man could be more diverse, it could be a female character, it could be anything.”

Amy made sure to make it clear that the future of Spider-Man definitely includes Tom. “As long as he wants to make Spider-Man movies, we will make Spider-Man movies,” Amy told Variety at the No Way Home premiere. “But I’m a producer, and I always think everything is going to work out. If I have my way we will.”

Most recently, Tom suffered a mild concussion while filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day on September 19, 2025 at Leavesden Studios in the UK, according to The Sun and Deadline. The injury earned him a hospital visit and a short filming pause.

When Does the Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Come Out?

The full sneak peek trailer of Brand New Day will be released on March 18, 2026.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Cast & Crew

In addition to Tom, you can expect Spider-Man fan favorites like Zendaya‘s MJ, Jacob Batalon’s Ned, and Jon Favreau’s Happy to return for Spider-Man 4. Sony chairman Tom Rothman told Deadline that it was his “hope” to have the “whole group” back for a fourth film, including director Jon Watts.

Per Deadline, Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is set to join the cast. The outlet speculates that she may play Jean Grey from X-Men or another well-known red-haired Spider-Man character.

It hasn’t been confirmed which villain Peter Parker/Spider-Man will battle next, but it could be Venom, played by Tom Hardy. In the post-credits scene for Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Eddie and Venom are in a hotel room when they are transported into the MCU. In the new room, Venom notices the television screen. It’s J. Jonah Jameson revealing Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Venom is entranced by Peter and licks the screen.

“We’ll have to see,” Venom director Ruben Fleischer told CinemaBlend about a possible crossover film. “I mean, it would be honestly a dream come true to have those two worlds converge. It’ll be a formidable battle between those two characters, so… whether or not I direct it, I’ll certainly be excited to see it.”

What Happened at the End Of Spider-Man: No Way Home?

Spider-Man: No Way Home started with Quentin Beck/Mysterio exposing Peter’s identity as Spider-Man. Peter decided to go to Dr. Strange for help. Strange began to cast a spell that would make everyone forget Peter is Spider-Man, but Peter messed with the spell when wanted to make a last-minute adjustment with his loved ones keeping their memories.

Strange’s corrupted spell brings people from the multiverse who know Spider-Man’s identity into their universe. Villains from previous Spider-Man films like Willem Dafoe’s Norman Osborn, Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock, and Jamie Foxx’s Electro all show up. Strange preps to reverse the corrupted spell and send the villains back to their original universes. Peter, always asking a bit too much, wants to cure the villains so they can possibly change their fates when they get back home.

Strange refuses to go along with Peter’s plan, so Peter steals the spell and traps Strange in the Mirror Dimension. As Peter is working on the cure, the Green Goblin took back control of Norman and set off a chain of events that leads to Aunt May’s death.

Ned and MJ use Strange’s sling ring to try and find Peter after May’s death. However, instead of finding their peter, they discover alternate versions of Peter from other universes. These Peters are Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who starred in their own Spider-Man films. The three Parkers ultimately work together to help cure the villains.

They devise a plan to lure the villains to the Statue of Liberty. Like always, the Green Goblin just has to stir up some chaos. When MJ falls from the Statue of Liberty, Andrew’s Peter gets a chance at redemption. He saves MJ after not being able to save his love Gwen Stacy. With the contained spell, Goblin allows the barriers between universes to break apart, allowing others who know Peter’s identity into his world.

Peter comes to the conclusion that the only way to save the multiverse is to erase Peter Parker from everyone’s memory, including his loved ones. Strange casts the spell, but Peter promises MJ and Ned that he will find them. After the spell is cast, everyone returns to their universes, with the elder Peters bidding farewell to the young Peter. On his way out, Eddie Brock/Sandman accidentally leaves behind a smidge of Venom symbiote.

The movie flashes forward two weeks later. Peter finds MJ working at a coffee shop. She doesn’t recognize him. He’s about to reintroduce himself but ultimately decides not to. Peter goes to visit May’s grave and crosses paths with Happy, who also doesn’t recognize Peter. Peter decides he can’t give up his power, so he creates a new suit and continues to protect the streets of New York City.

Joe Kent, the now-former U.S. Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, has maintained his late wife Shannon Kent‘s legacy. The self-proclaimed “Gold Star husband” has made it a focus in his life to speak out against war, despite his typical right-wing political views. His disagreement on the Iran war eventually made headlines when he resigned from his post in Donald Trump‘s administration in March 2026, citing Shannon’s death as one of the reasons behind his resignation.

Here, learn about Joe’s late wife and their marriage.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this… pic.twitter.com/prtu86DpEr

What Did Shannon Kent Do for Work?

Shannon was a U.S. Navy Senior Chief Petty Officer and a highly decorated cryptologic technician.

When Did Joe Kent & Shannon Kent First Meet?

Joe and Shannon reportedly met in 2013 at the selection course for the Intelligence Support Activity. One year later, they were married.

Did Joe Kent & Shannon Kent Have Children?

Yes, Shannon is survived by her two sons, whom she shared with Joe. Their two boys were just 3 years old and 18 months old when their late mother died.

How Did Shannon Kent Die? What Happened to Joe Kent’s Wife

Unfortunately, Shannon died in the January 2019 Manbij bombing. She was 35 years old. At the time, Shannon was part of a group that was meeting with local military officials, and they had stopped by a local restaurant in Manbij, Syria, when a man in a suicide vest detonated the device outside, killing her and three other Americans who were part of Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve.

Shannon’s death reshaped her husband Joe’s outlook on military plans, he has stated over the years. During a previous conversation with ConcernedVets, Joe said that his late wife’s death didn’t “necessarily” change his mind, but it “solidified some things.”

“Why are there young men, young women in Afghanistan right now, in Syria right now, in Iraq right now? What are they doing?” he asked at the time.

Joe also mentioned his late wife in his 2026 resignation from Trump’s administration.

“As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star husband who lost my beloved wife, Shannon, in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives,” Joe wrote in a March 2026 letter to the president.

Andy Byron, the former CEO of Astronomer, became the internet’s summer obsession after attending a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts in July 2025. A viral kiss cam moment made the rounds on social media after Andy was seen holding a woman in what appeared to be a romantic embrace — and it wasn’t his wife, Megan Kerrigan Byron. As multiple outlets pointed out that the woman is his company’s Chief People Officer, Kristin Cabot, affair rumors quickly skyrocketed. Shortly thereafter, Andy resigned from Astronomer.

Below, learn about Andy’s marriage, the affair rumors and what exactly happened at the Coldplay concert.

Who Is Andy Byron? About His Astronomer CEO Job

Andy was the CEO of Astronomer, which oversees the DataOps platform known as Astro. According to the company’s website, Astro was built on Apache Airflow and was designed to empower a team “to build, run, and observe data pipelines that just work, all from one place.”

Over the past several months, Andy became an instrumental figure behind Astronomer’s growing success. He had represented the company in multiple public appearances, such as in an interview with the New York Stock Exchange TV in June 2025.

Is Andy Byron Still Married to His Wife?

Yes, Andy is still legally married, and it appears he and his wife are still together. According to photos published by Daily Mail in September 2025, the spouses were seen together.

Who Is Andy Byron’s Wife Megan Kerrigan?

Megan Kerrigan is Andy’s wife. The spouses are both about 50 years old, and they live near Northborough, Massachusetts, according to Newsweek.

It appeared that a Facebook account with Megan’s full name was shut down after the internet exploded over Andy and Kristin’s on-camera moment.

Has Megan Kerrigan Byron Issued a Statement?

No, there has been no official public statement from Megan about her husband’s alleged infidelity.

Who Is Kristin Cabot?

Kristin is the “Chief People Officer” at Astronomer, which is typically a Human Resources-designated role. She began working for Astronomer in November 2024, per her LinkedIn page, where she is described as a “passionate people leader known for building award-winning cultures from the ground up for fast-growing startups and multi-national corporations.”

“An influential leader and fearless change-agent, I lead by example and win trust with employees of all levels, from CEOs to managers to assistants,” Kristin’s LinkedIn profile reads. “I pride myself on creating innovative systems and processes that attract top talent, while aligning an organization’s people around its mission and values.”

According to Newsweek, Andy praised Kristin after she was hired to work at the company. He credited her “exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement, and scaling people strategies” as being “critical” for Astronomer.

Is Kristin Cabot Married? About Her Ex-Husband

Kristin was married to her second husband, Andrew Cabot, whom she has been in the process of divorcing since mid-2025. She and her ex-husband, Kenneth Thornby, separated in 2018 and finalized their divorce in 2022, per the New York Post.

Did Andy Byron Really Have an Affair With Kristin Cabot?

Neither Andy, Kristin, nor Megan has commented on the affair rumors.

Based on the July 2025 kiss-cam Jumbotron moment, it looked like Andy and Kristin did not want to be seen in public. Andy had his arms wrapped around Kristin before the camera cut to them. The duo then quickly separated, as Andy ducked and Kristin started to walk away.

Astronomer released a statement about the situation via LinkedIn on July 18, 2025. It read, in part, “Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability. The Board of Directors has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”

The company added that Andy had “not put out any statement, reports saying otherwise are all incorrect.”

Did Coldplay Expose Andy Byron’s Affair?

It’s unlikely that the members of Coldplay had any knowledge about the alleged affair between Kristin and Andy. However, vocalist Chris Martin made a cheeky joke about how the duo were shy once featured on the kiss cam.

“All right, come on, you’re OK,” Chris said about Kristin and Andy, according to Newsweek, before adding, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”

These individuals demonstrate that their backgrounds do not determine their success and nothing can stop their determination to achieve their goals. The people featured in this story have reached success but they built a valuable foundation.

Season 5 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives halted production due to a domestic violence incident between series star Taylor Frankie Paul and her ex Dakota Mortensen. Reports surfaced on March 16, 2026, about an apparent legal problem between the exes, who share child Ever, 23 months. As new details continue to shed light on the situation, Hollywood Life has compiled everything we know so far regarding the allegations and when filming on Mormon Wives could resume below.

What Happened Between Taylor & Dakota? Domestic Violence Investigation

According to a spokesperson for the Draper City Police Department, Paul and Mortensen have an open “domestic assault investigation.”

The spokesperson additionally confirmed that “allegations have been made in both directions” and that “contact was made with involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th.” According to multiple outlets, the spokesperson declined to share more details amid the ongoing investigation.

Neither Paul nor Mortensen has publicly spoken out about the situation at the time of publication.

Did Taylor Frankie Paul & Dakota Mortensen Have a Fight?

It’s still unclear what exactly happened between Paul and Mortensen. The Draper City Pplice Department only confirmed that “allegations have been made in both directions,” referring to the exes.

Why Did Taylor Frankie Paul & Dakota Mortensen Break Up?

Taylor and Dakota split because he was admittedly unfaithful to her. At the start of season 2, Taylor went right into their breakup. “Right after Ever was born, Dakota and I were living together and in bliss with our new baby, and I was even considering engagement. And then, I learned that he was lying this entire time,” she said.

Dakota, indeed, confessed, saying, “I did lie. I was always doing it selfishly to protect myself. I just wish I was honest with her but it’s too late.

“I would do anything to have my family, to be with Taylor,” he said at the time. “And yeah, unfortunately, I just hurt her really bad, and I screwed up, and these are also consequences of my own actions.”

When Will Season 5 of Mormon Wives Resume Filming?

At the time of publication, it’s unclear when production on season 5 will resume. Multiple outlets reported that filming was on hold in mid-March 2026. Conflicting reports about Paul’s relationship with her co-stars have also circulated.

According to People, a source close to the Mormon Wives cast said, “None of the women want to be associated with her.”

A separate source told the outlet that the cast members “are very overwhelmed” and “all banded together, and they don’t want to come back right now. They were just getting tired of Taylor, honestly.”

However, a source told E! News that Paul’s relationship with her co-stars “is great right now” and insisted that production did not pause due to issues among the cast.

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

Taylor’s ex-husband is Tate, with whom she was married from 2016 until they separated in 2022 amid their “soft swinging” scandal. Taylor described the term as “when you just hook up [with someone who isn’t your spouse], but you don’t go all the way.” She and Tate engaged in consensual non-monogamy with other people’s partners until the #MomTok starlet violated the boundaries of their agreement.

“The agreement was just like, as long as we were both there and we saw it, and we knew it, it was OK,” Taylor explained, before admitting, “And the second it goes behind without each other, you’ve stepped out of the agreement. And I did that.”

“For Tate and I, I think it’s best that we separate and divorce, and kind of find ourselves and find what makes us happy, start fresh,” Taylor said about their split. “I think there’s been a lot of evil around us and we’ve participated in, obviously… And I think we need a fresh start and to kind of wake up. This was a good wake up call for us and our entire friend group.

After divorcing her former spouse, Taylor moved on with Dakota.

Is Taylor Frankie Still With Her Boyfriend Dakota?

No, Taylor and Dakota are no longer together. They started dating in 2022 and split by 2024 following a rocky road of drama. But what ultimately led to their split was that Dakota admittedly cheated on Taylor, which became a major storyline in season 2 of Mormon Wives. 

In March 2026, police began a domestic violence investigation into Dakota and Taylor.

Taylor Frankie Paul is starting a new era in reality TV as the next face of The Bachelorette for its 22nd season. Coming in 2026, the Secret Wives of Mormon Wives star will look for love in a new man, and it all comes following her divorce from ex-husband Tate Paul and former boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen. Since her relationship with Dakota recently ended, some fans are wondering what ultimately led to their split.

After season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives ended on a cliffhanger, Taylor revealed at the start of season 2, “Right after Ever was born, Dakota and I were living together and in bliss with our new baby, and I was even considering engagement. And then, I learned that he was lying this entire time.”

The term “soft swinging” refers to consensual non-monogamous hookups with other people’s partners.

“For Tate and I, I think it’s best that we separate and divorce, and kind of find ourselves and find what makes us happy, start fresh,” Taylor previously said when she and Tate decided to divorce. “I think there’s been a lot of evil around us and we’ve participated in, obviously… And I think we need a fresh start and to kind of wake up.

By 2025, Taylor and Dakota split for good after welcoming their son, Ever.

And yeah, unfortunately, I just hurt her really bad and I screwed up and these are also consequences of my own actions.”

It’s St. Patrick’s Day! Today, March 17, is all about celebrating Irish culture, so we decided there’s no better way to do that than to honor some of our favorite celebrities who hail from Ireland. (Well, besides wearing plenty of green, of course.) Let’s get to it, shall we? Irish stars like Niall Horan and Jamie Dornan are particularly dreamy, don’t you think?

Niall Horan

One of our favorite Irishmen is Niall! The former One Direction member grew up in Mullingar, and has always been proud of his roots. Unfortunately, since becoming famous, Niall has spent less time in Ireland than he’d like to – and it’s proven to be a bit of a different experience. He opened up about fans swarming his family’s house when he’s around in a 2016 interview on The Graham Norton Show.

“I go home a couple times a year. My dad still lives in the same spot, so it gets kind of hectic around the house,” he said. The sexy “Slow Hands” crooner then went on to explain how locals have started treating him differently when he’s in town. “Sometimes if I’m walking home, right? I go home around Christmas and there’s no taxis and I start walking home. The police will drive past me, pick me up and bring me home,” he revealed, adding, “I remember when they used to do that for a different reason.”

Jamie Dornan

You wouldn’t know it from his iconic turn as Christian Grey in Fifty Shades of Grey, but Jamie is from Northern Ireland. The actor was able to flex his dreamy accent while playing a serial killer in the drama series The Fall, though. He adorably taught his fans Irish slang in a 2018 video for Vanity Fair. “Craic” equals “how’s it going” and much, much more. As for “Kex,” that’s underwear. You learn something new every day.

Saoirse Ronan

Four-time Oscar nominee Saorise Ronan is incredibly proud of her Irish heritage. Saoirse has poked fun at her thick accent on Saturday Night Live, and gushed about playing an Irish immigrant in Brooklyn. The movie, which earned her an Oscar nod for Best Actress, did make her anxious, though.

“I was terrified,” she told the Los Angeles Times in 2015. “Maybe because I’ve been [acting] since I was 10 and everyone back at home has been really amazing and supportive. And the idea of them seeing me representing us onscreen was scary. And so, I felt a huge responsibility.

Rob Kardashian turns 39 on March 17, 2026, and what better way to say, “Happy Birthday, Rob,” than celebrating his major milestones through the years? Although Rob adopted a private lifestyle since his time regularly appearing on Keeping Up With The Kardashians, he’s just as important to the show as his famous sisters, Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Kendall and Kylie Jenner. The only son and brother in the Kardashian clan, has gone through a real maturation over the years. He started a sock business, became a father, overcame personal struggles with his weight and more.

Audiences first met Rob back in 2007 when he was just 20 years old. The then-younger party boy loved the spotlight and nights out on the town, some of which included Kourtney’s ex, Scott Disick — and it was all documented in the earlier seasons of KUWTK. Along with the family’s dynamic and careers, the show also explored their high-profile romances. Between 2007 and 2009, Rob dated former Cheetah Girls singer Adrienne Bailon. Their relationship was chronicled on the show before the couple went their separate ways.

Relive Rob’s transformation and early days in reality TV below!

Rob Kardashian Then (2011)

Rob found some success outside of the E! reality TV series. In 2011, he appeared on the thirteenth season of Dancing With The Stars, where he went on to place second on the reality competition series with his professional partner, Cheryl Burke.

In 2015, Rob took to social media to share a throwback photo from the beginning of his weight loss struggles. “Started right here with these milkshakes,” he wrote in his caption, adding, “#throwbackthursday”. Rob’s unhealthy lifestyle resulted in the reality star gaining 100 pounds over the course of one year. His physical transformation eventually caused confidence issues and insecurities, which led to Rob isolating himself away from family, friends and milestone events, such as Kim and Kanye West‘s 2014 wedding in Italy. The famous family has been open about Rob’s struggles on both social media and KUWTK.

Things changed for Rob, however, a few years later when he began dating model Blac Chyna. The couple’s relationship was chronicled on the series Rob & Chyna in 2016, which only lasted six episodes. The two announced their engagement in April 2016, after only a few months of dating. They also revealed that they would be welcoming their sweet daughter, Dream Kardashian, whom Chyna gave birth to in November of that same year. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the couple.

Rob and Chyna announced their split in December 2016.

Through it all, though, Rob has turned negatives into positives and shed the drama in his life. Along with sharing sweet, candid moments with his precious little girl, Rob appeared happier in social media posts and in sporadic moments his family shares.

In 2020, Rob began stepping out again, even at Khloe’s 36th birthday party in June. He was all smiles in various photos with Kourtney (pictured above) and Khloe’s then-boyfriend, Tristan Thompson. At the time, a source told Hollywood Life that Rob was happier and living a much healthier lifestyle.

In February 2021, fans got a glimpse at Rob when he shared an adorable photo with niece Stormi Webster, (Kylie and Travis Scott‘s daughter) in celebration of her 3rd birthday.

While Rob has made occasional public appearances, such as in season 7 of The Kardashians, he’s rarely ever shown up on social media. However, thanks to sister KoKo, fans got to see a photo of the siblings in June 2023 when Rob wished his sis a “Happy Birthday.”
