With fans highly anticipating its release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is all set to launch on July 31. For nearly five years, fans have been eagerly waiting to see Tom Holland back in the Spider-Man suit, and with the release just around the corner, new stills from the film have emerged, offering a closer look at Holland’s Peter Parker and creating more excitement among fans.

The photos that have been revealed promise an action-packed experience filled with high drama. While a couple of images show Spider-Man in the midst of intense battles, another sees Holland’s superhero teaming up with Zendaya’s MJ as they investigate a mystery together.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living completely alone after voluntarily erasing himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. His girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) have forgotten who he is and now see him as just a “friendly neighbour.”

Alone and grieving the death of his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), Peter dons a new comic-accurate red-and-blue suit and once again sets out to save the day.

Fighting crime in a New York that no longer knows his name, he devotes himself entirely to protecting the city as a full-time Spider-Man. However, as the demands intensify, the mounting pressure triggers a surprising physical evolution that threatens his very existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

The trailer also marks the return of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, a professor to whom Peter Parker turns during difficult times.

Sony Pictures Entertainment India will release Spider-Man: Brand New Day starring Tom Holland ,Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Mando, and Tramell Tillman, in theatres on July 31, 2026, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam across all premium formats.

 

He-Man: Masters of the Universe is just days away from its India release. The Travis Knight directorial stars Nicholas Galitzine as He-Man and Jared Leto as Skeletor, among others. 

Knight recently opened up about how Leto came on board and shared his experience of working with the actor. 

According to him, an outlandish sense of humour was what landed the role for Leto, an Oscar-winner for Dallas Buyers Club who starred as The Joker in 2016’s Suicide Squad and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

Knight said, “Jared was also a big fan of He-Man, and he understands the world, in addition to being an exceptional actor. What I think a lot of people don’t know about Jared is that he’s also really, really funny.” 

While Skeletor is menacing, Knight said some sequences naturally tipped over into absurdist comedy. “We were shooting a scene, and I was laughing so hard that he brought me to tears,” Knight said of Leto. 

Knight added, “He will make these choices that you don’t see coming, and that really does help to make Skeletor distinctive. He’s just an extraordinarily memorable villain.”

Post-production animators tried to mirror Leto’s onscreen expressions as they crafted the final visage for Skeletor, and the actor worked extensively with Knight to devise a voice that was unique, not an homage to any previous version of the character or other legacy villains. The filmmaker and actor ultimately came up with a deep, thundering resonance for this Skeletor, a contrast to his snivelling voice in the original animated series. 

Knight described it as “both menacing and theatrical.” 

Backed by Amazon MGM Studios and directed by Travis Knight, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam, Camila Mendes as Teela, and Jared Leto as Skeletor, with Man-At-Arms played by Idris Elba. The film also features Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, and Kristen Wiig as the voice of Roboto. The film aims to bring one of pop culture’s most iconic fantasy worlds back to life for a new generation.

Ashutosh Gowariker’s epic period sports drama Lagaan is all set to re-release in theatres on its 25th anniversary. The Aamir Khan starrer was the most expensive Indian film at the time of its release in 2001. 

On Wednesday, Aamir Khan Productions shared the trailer on its official channel, invoking nostalgia. They wrote, “A timeless epic that touched every heart. On the 25th Anniversary of LAGAAN the epic saga returns to the big screen. Relive the magic in theatres on 12th, 13th and 14th June.”

About Lagaan 

Lagaan is set in 1893, during British rule in India. It revolves around the people of a drought-hit village, where they are crushed under heavy taxes, or “lagaan,” imposed by British officers. When a young villager named Bhuvan challenges a British captain, the villagers are given an unusual deal. If they can defeat the British in a game of cricket, their taxes will be completely waived for three years. Despite knowing nothing about the sport, the villagers come together to learn cricket and fight for their dignity, survival and freedom.

Besides Aamir Khan, it stars Gracy Singh, Rachel Shelley, Paul Blackthorne, Suhasini Mulay, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Rajendra Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Rajesh Vivek, and Aditya Lakhia. 

Lagaan was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It also became the most awarded film at the 47th Filmfare Awards. 

The film will be shown in theatres on June 12, 13 and 14.
