Spider-Man: Brand New Day has reportedly suffered a significant leak that saw a high-quality bootleg spread across X/Twitter before Sony took it down.
It’s yet another leak in X’s lineup that arrived just as Tom Holland’s latest go at the Wall-Crawler swung into cinemas, according to Variety. The site stated that user Fredrick Bryan posted the movie earlier today, leaving users to view the film and reveal its biggest surprises for hours before Sony was able to take it down.
It’s reported the post reached 5.9 million X accounts, accumulated more than 143,000 likes, and passed 10,000 reshares. IGN hasn’t been able to find any reuploads of the movie on social media yet, but traces can still be found if you know where to look.
“DUDE NO I WAS WATCHING THIS SPIDERMAN BRAND NEW DAY MOVIE ON TWITTER AND IT SUDDENLY STOPPED PLAYING,” one user said.
“Yo did anybody download that Spider-Man Brand New Day movie that just dropped? I forgot to download it before it got deleted,” another user said with “loudly crying face” emojis.
Short segments revealing some of Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s biggest reveals also started floating around on X. While some of those posts remain online, a message saying “this media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner” can now be found in the video’s place. Some users still have posts available stating they saw at least the first chunk of the movie before it was removed, while others say they were able to nearly finish it.
As the leak made its way online and was promptly removed, Marvel Studios has unfortunately followed in the footsteps of Christopher Nolan and his new movie, The Odyssey. A high-quality rip featuring all three hours of that film was posted on X last weekend, giving millions of users the opportunity to watch it or at least get a taste of what it’s like instead of going to the theaters to watch it. While Sony told Variety it had no comment regarding its leak, Universal did share its own statement.
“We became aware of the unauthorized posting of the film and immediately initiated takedown protocols,” Universal told Variety in a statement. “We take copyright infringement seriously and will pursue all appropriate remedies to protect our content and intellectual property rights.”
It’s unclear if Sony has any plans to take further action regarding the Spider-Man: Brand New Day leaks on X. For now, the film has only just been released in theaters today, July 31, 2026.
IGN gave Holland’s latest swing a 7/10 review. The film brought in an incredible $72 million in box office previews, though how exactly it will fare throughout its opening weekend remains to be seen. Meanwhile, Sony has already been doing its best to combat leaks related to its post-credits scene.
