Kevin Feige Confirms ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Place in the MCU Timeline [Exclusive]
Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day takes place before Avengers: Doomsday in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, offering fans a clearer sense of where the highly anticipated film fits amid the studio's build-up to its next major crossover event. The confirmation came during an exclusive interview with Collider, addressing lingering uncertainty about how the Tom Holland-led sequel connects to the wider Doomsday storyline.
Speaking alongside producer Amy Pascal, Feige was initially cautious when asked about the film's placement, saying only "it takes place before" Doomsday, and clarifying it isn't set immediately beforehand. Pascal then provided the more precise detail, revealing the story unfolds four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Peter Parker was erased from the world's memory. Brand New Day will follow Parker as he attempts to rebuild his life anonymously while the universe moves inexorably towards Doom.
In short

Explained simply
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is an interconnected series of films that build on one another, with each story affecting future ones. The timeline sequence matters because it shows audiences how characters and storylines connect across multiple films.
Tom Holland plays Peter Parker in the MCU's Spider-Man films. In Spider-Man: No Way Home, magical events erased Parker's identity from everyone's memory. The forthcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, set four years later, follows Parker as he attempts to rebuild his life anonymously.
Avengers: Doomsday is an upcoming major crossover film bringing together multiple Marvel characters in a significant event. Understanding when Brand New Day takes place in relation to this film helps explain how Spider-Man's story connects to the broader MCU narrative.
