Amazon Prime Video is finalizing a series order for a new Spider-Man project based on the controversial 'Clone Saga' comic storyline. Written by Kelvin Yu, the show will feature clones Ben Reilly and Kaine Parker, replacing the recently canceled 'Spider-Noir'.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day dethroned Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing domestic release, hitting $936.773 million after 47 days. Globally, the film has earned about $2.45 billion, ranking third all-time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame and ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water and Titanic. It opened to a record $360 million in North America and $932 million globally in its opening weekend, crossed $1 billion domestically in six days, and reached $2 billion globally after three weekends, signaling Marvel’s strong post-2025 rebound and setting up further crossovers.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has dethroned Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the domestic box-office champion with a running total of $936.7 million, setting a string of domestic records on its way to a worldwide total near $2.45 billion. Globally it remains third all-time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, while Tom Holland and Zendaya star in the film which opened July 31 and dominates U.S. grosses.
Sony Pictures head Tom Rothman says cinema is back thanks to a diverse, emotionally resonant slate. He highlighted Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s global haul of about $2.4 billion (including $923 million domestic) and noted Sony was outbid for the horror film Obsession by Universal’s Focus Features (~$14 million). Rothman argues that films with a specific time-and-place feel and relatable heart attract global audiences, with examples like Netflix-financed K-Pop Demon Hunters illustrating cross-cultural appeal.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on track to finish the summer as the box-office leader, with domestic receipts approaching the unadjusted $936 million record and global gross surpassing $2.4 billion, as other films such as The Odyssey and Coyote vs. Acme round out the season’s top five.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day tops the Labor Day weekend for a sixth straight frame with about $18 million, keeping its domestic total near $918 million and global around $2.4 billion; The Odyssey stays in second, while By Any Means and Onslaught underperform, contributing to a roughly $90.4 million domestic weekend and signaling a slow start to a tentpole-sparse fall season until November.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has surpassed $900 million in North America, becoming only the second film to reach that figure unadjusted for inflation, and is projected to bring in about $22 million over the Labor Day weekend, potentially surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the domestic box-office record holder. Worldwide, the film has earned over $2.33 billion, ranking third behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, and is on track to spend a sixth straight weekend atop the domestic box office.
Prime Video has canceled Spider-Noir after a single season, citing waning viewership and high production costs for the 1930s noir series starring Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly. Sony/Amazon say other Marvel projects are still in development for Prime Video, and Cage is set to appear in future Spider-Verse entries, so this isn’t the last we’ll see of the character on screen.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is driving the Labor Day box office and could push Summer 2026 to an all‑time domestic total of about $4.76 billion, nearing or surpassing 2013’s $4.756B record as the four‑day frame is projected around $22 million (potentially $23M). The Odyssey remains a strong hold, with By Any Means and other titles filling out the top ranks; the industry notes that Labor Day weekend is a tense close to the season, and Spider-Man’s continued performance could reshape the all‑time domestic chart, possibly approaching Force Awakens’ $936.6M domestic milestone.
The Hollywood Reporter ranks Spider-Man movie villains from worst to best across the films, crowning Green Goblin (2002) as the top villain and placing Doc Ock, Sandman, Vulture, Mysterio, The Spot, and others like Harry Osborn/Nu Goblin, Electro, The Lizard, Venom, Shocker, The Tinkerer, Gustav Fiers, The Rhino, and Dr. Ashley Kafka on the list.
Zendaya turns 30 and reflects on a rise from Disney Channel stardom (Shake It Up, KC Undercover) to Hollywood A-lister with Spider-Man, The Greatest Showman, Dune, and HBO’s Euphoria (which earned her two Emmys); she also produced Challengers and, in 2026, led The Drama and The Odyssey while quietly marrying Tom Holland, cementing her status as one of the industry’s top stars.
Despite Sony halting Russian releases, hundreds of fans flock to screenings of Spider-Man: Brand New Day using illegally copied prints obtained via third-party distributors, with authorities largely turning a blind eye; the film still posted a record box-office weekend in Russia, underscoring the tension between foreign franchises and a state-influenced local cinema scene.
