Spider-Man: Brand New Day composer says he wanted to “make a sad Spider-Man movie”
Composer Michael Giacchino says Spider-Man: Brand New Day will explore a more melancholy side of Peter Parker, describing his aim as making “a sad Spider-Man movie”. His comments indicate that the film’s score will reflect the character’s isolation following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, setting an emotional direction for the new instalment.
Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Giacchino said he discussed simplifying Spider-Man’s musical theme with director Destin Daniel Cretton, removing notes to represent Peter losing parts of his life. In No Way Home, Peter was erased from the memories of MJ, Ned and everyone else; Brand New Day is due for release in the UK on 29 July and in the US on 31 July.

Explained simply
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is an upcoming Spider-Man film due for release in July 2026. The film continues the story of Peter Parker following the significant events of the previous instalment, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
In No Way Home, Peter Parker made a sacrifice that fundamentally altered his life. He erased himself from the memories of everyone close to him—including his girlfriend MJ and best friend Ned—in order to protect them from danger.
Michael Giacchino, who is composing the film's musical score, has indicated that Brand New Day will reflect the emotional consequences of Peter's isolation. His approach involves creating a more melancholic soundscape, with a simplified musical theme designed to capture the weight of Peter's loneliness.
