- Marvel released a 208-page Spider-Man: Brand New Day art book on 18 August 2026.

- Reported omissions concerning a character and the finale are not confirmed by the publisher.

## Summary

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day – The Art of the Movie was released on 18 August 2026, the same day as the GamesRadar+ report. Written by Jess Harrold and published by Marvel Universe, the $50 hardback is listed at 208 pages and presents visual-development material from the latest Spider-Man film. Its official description says the book follows the route from early concept sketches to final character designs, covering environments, costumes and production insights. It also sets out the film’s premise: four years after the previous instalment, Spider-Man is protecting New York anonymously when a series of crimes draws him into a larger mystery connected to his past.

GamesRadar+ framed the publication as a behind-the-scenes companion for viewers seeking alternate story ideas, costume concepts and design work that changed during production. The outlet reported that the volume does not include artwork for one undisclosed character or for the finale, attributing that assessment to a reader’s online post and suggesting secrecy around plot revelations may explain the omissions. The publisher’s listing confirms the book’s broader art-and-development remit, but does not itself specify any excluded character or ending material; those claims should therefore be treated as unconfirmed reader observations rather than formal details from Marvel.
