Spider-Man returns! Brand New Day trailer smashes records, beats GTA VI in 24-hour views
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer has taken the internet by storm, smashing global records with an astounding 718.6 million views in just 24 hours.
Starring Tom Holland, the trailer has overtaken previous record-holders like Deadpool & Wolverine and even the GTA VI trailer, signalling immense worldwide anticipation for Marvel’s next blockbuster.
Released by Sony Pictures, the teaser became the most-watched movie trailer in history. Within just eight hours, it had already crossed 373 million views, surpassing the previous 24-hour record of 365 million views set by Deadpool & Wolverine. By the end of the first day, Brand New Day had more than doubled that figure, setting a new benchmark for global fan engagement.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that it didn’t just outperform other film trailers—it also exceeded the 24-hour record set by Grand Theft Auto VI, which garnered 475 million views. Clearly, the excitement surrounding Spider-Man’s return is operating on an unprecedented scale.
The trailer hints at a thrilling storyline. Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker, set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed nearly $1.9 billion worldwide. Peter now lives in isolation, having erased himself from the memories of those closest to him.
As a full-time Spider-Man in a city that no longer recognises him, Peter faces mounting pressures that trigger a dangerous transformation. The film promises a high-stakes adventure with a new wave of crime and a powerful new threat.
The ensemble cast adds to the excitement. Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Mark Ruffalo return, while Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal join the franchise. The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with a screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, and produced by Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to swing into theatres worldwide on July 31, 2026, promising fans an unforgettable Marvel experience.
