“Emo” Peter Parker/Spider-Man from “Spider-Man 3.”
The announcement of the title of Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man movie isn’t the only breaking Spidey news. Tobey Maguire’s “emo” Peter Parker/Spider-Man is getting a new action figure.
Holland appeared in a video clip at CinemaCon Monday night in Las Vegas to announce the title of his fourth film as the legendary Marvel webslinger will be Spider-Man: Brand New Day, per The Hollywood Reporter.
THR noted that director Destin Daniel Cretton — who previously directed the 2021 Marvel Cinematic Universe hit Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — was on hand for the announcement at the annual convention of theater owners. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slated for a July 31, 2026, release.
Meanwhile, Hasbro had some Spider-Man news to break, too, on Tuesday with a Marvel Legends livestream touting the company’s upcoming releases in its 6-inch comic book and live-action movie figure line.
Among the movie figures Hasbro revealed Tuesday were four characters from the upcoming MCU movie Thunderbolts* — Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell’s John Walker and Lewis Pullman’s Bob Reynolds, aka The Sentry — as well as 2007 movie character that’s making its debut as a Marvel Legends figure.
During Hasbro’s livestream presentation, members of the toy company’s marketing and design team unveiled the black suit version of Peter Parker/Spidey from Spider-Man 3 with a head sculpt featuring Maguire’s likeness.
The figure is of Peter’s “emo” look from the film, where the dark side of the character emerges after his contact with the symbiote Venom. As such, Spidey’s suit turns black and he becomes more aggressive.
The accessories for the new black suit “emo” Spider-Man figure from Hasbro include an alternate masked Spidey head sculpt and two extra sets of hands. The Hasbro marketing team also showed off a Venom “splat” piece that fits around Peter’s neck to give the illusion that the symbiote is trying to take him over.
The “emo” Peter Parker action figure from Spider-Man 3 is expected to retail for $24.99 and will go up for pre-order on online retail outlets on Thursday.
