Holland’s Video Message to CinemaCon
Tom Holland addressed CinemaCon attendees through a video message. He apologised for his absence, citing a commitment to another project.
“I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie,” Holland said. “I know we left you with a massive clip hanger at the end of ‘No Way Home,’ so ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say.”
Holland acknowledged his reputation for leaking Marvel Cinematic Universe secrets. He assured fans he would avoid spoilers.
“That’s all I’ve been allowed to say,” Holland added. “And I’m well over the hump of giving away spoilers, so don’t be worried. I’m not going to do that today.”

“I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world,” Cretton said. “We’re all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before.”
Returning and Potential New Cast Members
Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are expected to reprise their roles as MJ and Ned. Sadie Sink joined the cast, though her role remains undisclosed.

Cretton humorously revealed he lost money at roulette during CinemaCon but remained focused on promoting the film.
