Jackie Chan has confirmed that his stunt team is handling action sequences on Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Founded in 1976, the Jackie Chan Stunt Team has worked on numerous projects, including Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Director Destin Daniel Cretton is reportedly leaning heavily on practical effects and web-slinging for Spidey’s latest adventure.

Based on the divisive comic run, Brand New Day is rumoured to pit Spider-Man against a roster of villains, including The Punisher, Savage Hulk, Scorpion, Tombstone, Tarantula, Boomerang and Ramrod, with hints of the Venom symbiote setting up Mac Gargan’s future.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases in theatres on July 31, 2026.
