SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY: SPIDER-MAN 4 Gets Official (and Controversial) Title

Based on the Nerdist article:

A recent rumor suggests that the official title for the upcoming MCU Spider-Man 4 film is Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

This title is significant and potentially controversial because it directly references a major, and often disliked, storyline from the Spider-Man comics. The comic "Brand New Day" era began after the "One More Day" storyline, where Peter Parker made a deal with the demon Mephisto to save Aunt May's life. The cost was the erasure of his marriage to Mary Jane Watson from history, effectively resetting his status quo to being single and having his secret identity restored. This reset was highly controversial among comic fans.

The article notes that this title seems fitting given the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home. In that film, Peter had Doctor Strange cast a spell making everyone forget Peter Parker exists, effectively erasing his personal relationships and public history. This created a similar "reset" situation for the character in the MCU, mirroring the outcome (though not the controversial Mephisto cause) of the comic storyline.

Therefore, the rumored title Spider-Man: Brand New Day implies that the fourth film will likely explore Peter navigating this new, isolated life where no one remembers him, dealing with the consequences of the No Way Home spell.

The article emphasizes that this title is currently just a rumor from scoopers and has not been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios or Sony Pictures.
