Spider-Man: Brand New Day runtime hits 150 minutes, becomes longest Spider-Man film

According to AMC Theatres, Spider-Man: Brand New Day clocks in at 150 minutes — that's two and a half hours of web-slinging action, making it officially the longest Spider-Man film ever made. The extended runtime puts Tom Holland's fourth solo outing ahead of every previous Spider-Man movie, including his own No Way Home, and places it among the lengthiest Marvel Cinematic Universe films to date.

How does it compare to other Spider-Man films?

At 150 minutes, Brand New Day edges out Spider-Man: No Way Home by just two minutes, which previously held the record at 148 minutes. The new film also surpasses every Spider-Man movie starring Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield, with the original 2002 Spider-Man clocking in at 121 minutes and The Amazing Spider-Man reaching 136 minutes.

Within the broader Marvel Cinematic Universe, only three films have longer runtimes than Brand New Day. Eternals runs 156 minutes, Black Panther hits 161 minutes, and Avengers: Endgame tops the list at 181 minutes — just over the three-hour mark.

Why is Spider-Man: Brand New Day so long?

The extended runtime reflects the film's ambitious scope, with Peter Parker facing an entire rogues' gallery of villains years after we last saw him. Michael Mando returns as Scorpion from Homecoming, joined by Marvin Jones III's Tombstone, Boomerang (reportedly played by Eman Esfandi as MJ's new boyfriend), Tarantula, ninja cult The Hand, and a rampant version of Mark Ruffalo's Hulk.

Beyond the villain roster, the film tackles Peter's physical metamorphosis, his reluctant partnership with Jon Bernthal's Punisher, and his continued watch over Zendaya's MJ and Jacob Batalon's Ned — who no longer remember his identity. With this many plot threads, the record-breaking trailer only hinted at the complexity ahead.

What this means for cinema audiences

A 150-minute runtime could give Peter Parker and the supporting cast more room to breathe and develop, addressing previous criticisms of rushed character arcs in superhero films. However, packing numerous characters and storylines into one film also raises the risk of the narrative feeling crowded and losing focus on Spider-Man's personal journey.

The length positions Brand New Day as an event film alongside the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, suggesting Marvel's confidence in the story's scope and audience appetite for longer superhero experiences.

When and where to watch in UAE

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits cinemas globally on 31 July 2026. UAE release details haven't been confirmed yet, but major superhero films typically arrive on the same date across most international markets. With the film's extensive runtime, cinema schedules may see fewer daily showings, so booking advance tickets could be wise once UAE showtimes are announced.
