"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Unveils 2026 World Cup Crossover Trailer: Tom Holland's Spider-Man Swings Through NYC with Lionel Messi

Sony Pictures has released a new promotional trailer for the upcoming "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," a crossover collaboration with the 2026 FIFA World Cup, featuring Tom Holland as Peter Parker alongside Argentinian soccer superstar Lionel Messi.

In the trailer, Peter is on a call with a friend at a coffee shop when Messi, using a "Spider-Tracker," locates Spider-Man and arrives on the scene. Peter quickly changes into his Spider-Man suit, then swings through the city with Messi in tow. This promotional clip was released ahead of Argentina's first World Cup knockout match against Cape Verde, strategically linking the film's promotion with the buzz of the soccer tournament.

In other news, The Cosmic Circus recently reported that Holland may be involved in the creative development of Spider-Man's future, similar to how Tom Hiddleston participated in "Loki." While specific details remain scarce, speculation suggests this could influence Spider-Man's role in the MCU following "Avengers: Secret Wars."

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is set four years after the events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," with Peter living alone after everyone has forgotten him, dedicating himself entirely to protecting New York. However, as pressure mounts, his body begins to undergo strange changes, while an unprecedented crime wave brings new dangers.
