Jackie Chan’s stunt team is contributing to the upcoming Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures co-production, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, showcasing a strong emphasis on practical effects and impressive web-slinging sequences. Renowned filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, known for directing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is helming the project as fans eagerly anticipate the movie’s thrilling action.
Although Jackie Chan himself is not performing stunts for the film, he recently visited the set in London and revealed his close involvement with the stunt team.
“I went to London and visited the set,”
Chan said in an interview with hk01.com.
“My Jackie Chan Stunt Team was busy filming Spider-Man, and I was the action director for the Jackie Chan Stunt Team.”
Chan described the director’s reaction to his visit, noting,
“I went to watch their rehearsals, and the director was quite surprised to see me. I made sure he understood that they are part of my team!”
Tom Holland’s Dedication to Action Praised by Jackie Chan
Jackie Chan also expressed admiration for Spider-Man star Tom Holland’s commitment to performing his own stunts. He remarked,
“I heard the young man paid tribute to my films in a lot of action scenes and has done stunts by himself.”
Holland’s dedication continues to elevate the realism and excitement of the film’s action sequences.
History and Influence of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team
The Jackie Chan Stunt Team, also known as Sing Ga Ban, was established in 1976 by Jackie Chan himself. Initially formed from skilled stunt performers and co-stars in Hong Kong action cinema, the team has since grown and expanded its global presence. They previously contributed to the action sequences in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, further cementing their reputation in high-caliber stunt work.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Plot and Villain Lineup
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to feature several notable villains and complex storylines. The movie reportedly includes antagonists such as The Punisher, Savage Hulk, and The Scorpion. Additional villains rumored to appear are Tombstone, Tarantula, Boomerang, and Ramrod, creating a robust and diverse adversarial cast.
There has been speculation about the Venom Symbiote playing a role in the storyline, possibly paving the way for Mac Gargan to become the alien costume’s host in future films. Although the title shares its name with a controversial comic era that involved a reboot of Peter Parker’s life and relationships—such as his marriage ending with Mary Jane Watson and a secret identity restoration—characters introduced during that era, like Mister Negative, Jackpot, Menace, and Carlie Cooper, do not currently seem to be part of this film’s narrative.
Director and Cast Details for the Upcoming Release
Destin Daniel Cretton directs the movie from a script by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland leads a cast that includes Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, Tramell Tillman, and Liza Colón-Zayas. Rumors also suggest that Florence Pugh, known for her role in Thunderbolts, might join the ensemble.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slated for release in theaters on July 31, 2026, marking a significant chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man saga. This film is anticipated to conclude Tom Holland’s iteration of Spider-Man before the franchise shifts focus to Miles Morales as the next prominent character.
