Tom Holland-starrer Spider-Man: Brand New Day is gearing up for its theatrical release in India on July 30. However, before its release, reports claiming that the CBFC had ordered cuts to the superhero film's Indian version sparked debate among fans. Sony Pictures Entertainment India has now issued a statement putting the rumours to rest.
The rumours started after fans noticed a difference in the film's runtime on various theatre listings. While international cinema chains, including Cineworld in the UK, listed Spider-Man: Brand New Day at 2 hours and 30 minutes (150 minutes), PVR's website briefly showed a runtime of 2 hours and 25 minutes.
The five-minute difference quickly sparked speculation online, with many assuming that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) had already ordered cuts for the Indian release. Sony Pictures Entertainment India has now set the record straight by issuing a statement.
The statement read, "We love the excitement around Spider-Man: Brand New Day! To address speculation circulating online, the film has not yet been submitted to the CBFC in India, and any reports regarding certification are inaccurate. For verified information, please follow our official channels."
July is expected to be huge for Hollywood in India, as two highly anticipated films are set to arrive in cinemas. The Odyssey will release on July 17, while Spider-Man: Brand New Day will hit theatres in India on July 30. Due to the clash and The Odyssey blocking three weeks of IMAX screenings, Spider-Man won't be released in that format. Sony confirmed, "No IMAX release for Spider-Man: Brand New Day in India, but the film will be available in premium large-format (PLF) screens for an epic big-screen experience."
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will arrive in theatres on July 30, 2026, in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam.
The makers of Spider-Man: Brand New Day unveiled the second trailer for the upcoming film in Amsterdam, which gives a peek into the next chapter of Peter Parker's journey. The trailer showcases Holland donning the iconic Spider-Man suit again as he faces new threats while navigating life in the aftermath of Spider-Man: No Way Home, with the world having forgotten Peter Parker's identity. The film also stars Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink.
