Tom Holland returns in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' after four years.

Tom's return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to swing into theaters more than four years after the release of Spider-Man: No Way Home. After the sequel that also featured Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield came out, fans expected the hero to make his way back to cinemas soon.

That wasn't the case. Marvel Studios focused on the production of different projects, and Peter Parker's future remained uncertain.

Marvel Studios constantly looks for the right filmmaker for every project it develops. In the case of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, director Destin Daniel Cretton was recruited to helm the wall crawler's next adventure.

Destin knows his way around the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He also directed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, where Simu Liu starred as the titular hero in the MCU adventure that earned Destin the chance to work with the Spider-Man character.

Tom's full recovery is the only way in which the production team behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day can get back to work. The previous franchise installment earned more than $1 billion at the global box office.

After Marvel Studios sends the sequel to the big screen, the company will turn its attention towards Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are expected to reprise their Marvel roles in Brand New Day.
