Tom Holland hints Spider-Man will appear in Avengers: Secret Wars

Tom Holland has, once again, said more than he probably intended to. Speaking with Cinemania during the press tour for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland strongly suggested that Peter Parker will appear in Avengers: Secret Wars — while simultaneously explaining why Marvel keeps him in the dark. As reported by Cinemania, Holland stopped just short of a flat-out confirmation, but only just.

What did Tom Holland actually say?

Holland acknowledged his well-documented reputation for accidentally leaking MCU plot details — most famously confirming his character's death in Avengers: Infinity War before the film released. His explanation for why he doesn't know much about the upcoming Avengers films? Marvel is keeping him away from the good stuff on purpose.

"I don't know a lot about those movies, I think by design," Holland said. "I have a reputation for spoiling certain things, and I think the studios are keeping me from the juicy details. But when I do get to grace that set, I'm so curious — you know, what does that mean for Peter? And how does that work? I'm very excited about... whatever it is they're doing."

The phrase "when I do get to grace that set" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. It's not a confirmation in any official Marvel sense — no press release, no cast announcement — but it's about as close as Holland gets before someone in the PR team presumably texts him a single question mark.

Our take at 's hints have a decent track record. His past comments have often pointed toward real MCU developments, even when fans initially read them as vague deflections. That said, Marvel has a long history of misdirection, so treat this as a very strong signal rather than a done deal.

Doomsday or Secret Wars — which film is Spider-Man actually in?

Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are two separate films, and the distinction matters here. Doomsday is deep into production now, with additional shooting currently ongoing. The bulk of that film has already been shot, and its ensemble cast is enormous — check out the Avengers: Doomsday trailer for a sense of the scale. A full Spider-Man arc feels unlikely at this stage, though a cameo isn't out of the question.

Secret Wars, scheduled for December 2027, is where Holland's involvement feels assured. As one of the MCU's most popular characters and a central figure in the Multiverse Saga, his absence from the finale would be genuinely surprising. The film also represents what may be the last realistic opportunity for a Spider-Men reunion — Holland alongside Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire — before Marvel shifts its focus toward mutants and the X-Men era.

Adding another thread: Sadie Sink, who debuts in Brand New Day, is reportedly also set to appear in Secret Wars. Marvel hasn't confirmed this either, but it would give the two films a direct narrative link through the Spider-Man corner of the MCU. Marvel-Sony rights negotiations continue to shape which characters can appear where, so Sink's involvement is still worth flagging as unverified.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day — when and where to watch

Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases in cinemas globally on 31 July. UAE audiences can expect it to land in Dubai and Abu Dhabi on the same date, though an official local premiere has not been confirmed at time of writing. MCU films consistently rank among the highest-grossing releases in UAE cinemas, so expect wide availability across VOX, Reel, and other major chains.

Tickets for Brand New Day are already on sale, and a new trailer dropped this week alongside what sounds like an impressive selection of themed popcorn buckets — the real measure of MCU cultural relevance this year.

For more on what's building toward the Multiverse Saga finale, the Endgame re-release includes new footage tied directly to Doomsday's plot — worth a watch before July.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day release dates and availability

Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens in cinemas on 31 July. Avengers: Secret Wars is currently dated for December 2027. UAE-specific premiere dates for both Avengers films have not been officially announced.
