Los Angeles – July 28, 2026. “Spider-Man™: Brand New Day”, the latest installment in one of the world’s most successful film franchises, will be released exclusively in cinemas on July 31, 2026. Key parts are played by the new BMW iX3, the first Neue Klasse model, and the BMW 5 Series Sedan. Both vehicles are not only visible, but woven into the plot of the new film, enabling them to connect with a global fan base. The partnership underlines the BMW commitment to combining innovation, technology and cultural relevance.
Spider-Man™ is one of the world’s most popular superheroes, and the
films attract a cross-generational audience of millions.
Unsurprisingly, the latest installment is generating a great deal of
attention. The official trailer alone set a new benchmark, becoming
the first movie trailer to surpass one billion views in four days.
Bernd Körber, Senior Vice President BMW Brand and Product
Management, says: “The launch of the Neue Klasse and Spider-Man™:
Brand New Day could not be more fitting. Both stand for a bold new
beginning and the confidence to shape what comes next. We are proud to
accompany this new Spider-Man™ chapter with the BMW iX3, our first
model of the Neue Klasse.”
A new BMW era joins forces with a “Brand New Day”.
The BMW iX3 and BMW 5 Series embody the sheer driving pleasure associated with the brand. They also put a spotlight on advanced vehicle technologies such as the BMW Panoramic Display, innovative driver assistance systems, the panoramic glass sunroof and the outstanding driving dynamics delivered by the Sport Mode. The Neue Klasse models such as the BMW iX3 represent the dawn of a new era at BMW – one that is perfectly showcased in “Brand New Day”.
A new chapter for Spider-Man™.
Four years after the events of “Spider-Man™: No Way Home”, a new
chapter begins for Peter Parker and his alter ego, Spider-Man™: life
as an adult, voluntarily erased from the memories and lives of his
loved ones. He continues to fight tirelessly against crime in New
York, a city that no longer knows who he is. But the weight of
responsibility has its consequences – triggering a mutation that could
prove fatal to him. At the same time, a mysterious spate of crimes
leads to the greatest threat Spider-Man™ has ever faced.
The film is based on the Marvel comic by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. “Spider-Man™: Brand New Day” was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with a screenplay by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers and Justin Kuritzkes. The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.
Meet the BMW iX3 Flow – Spider-Man Brand New Day.
With the BMW iX3 Flow – Spider-Man Brand New Day, BMW has
produced a unique one-off vehicle to celebrate the new Spider-Man™
movie. This special BMW iX3 was developed in close collaboration with
Sony/Marvel and transfers the visual world of Spider-Man™ to the
vehicle’s exterior. Using dynamic graphics and full-color E Ink Prism™
elements, it brings the title character to life. Inspired by
Spider-Man’s™ moves, energy and cinematic universe, the animated
exterior transforms the vehicle into a part of the story itself: bold,
agile and full of character. Following the premiere, the BMW iX3 Flow
– Spider-Man Brand New Day will be on display at BMW Welt in Munich
until September.
Exclusive Spider-Man™ animation available in many BMW vehicles.
To celebrate the partnership with Spider-Man™: Brand New Day, BMW
has a special surprise for its drivers. The Spider-Man™ Animation will
be available (in participating markets) to all customers with suitably
equipped vehicles from July 27 to August 10. Starting the car brings
up a special banner in the Control Display. Clicking on it then
activates the Spider-Man™ animation, comprising a full-screen festive
animation in the Control Display with aptly chosen backing music and
an accompanying light show courtesy of the ambient lighting
system. These festive animations will be available in more than 70
countries worldwide for vehicles equipped with the relevant optional
equipment and BMW Operating System 7, 8, 8.5, 9 or BMW Operating
System X, as well as a production date after 7/2020.
Campaign featuring the teaser film “The Big Screen” brings
together the worlds of BMW and Spider-Man™
The teaser film “The Big Screen” centers on a father and son
watching the news about Spider-Man™ while their BMW iX3 is charging.
When the boy suddenly spots the superhero on a skyscraper, his father
initially thinks it’s just a bit of Spider-Man™ graffiti. But seconds
later, Spider-Man™ actually lands on the hood of the BMW before
returning to his mission. With a confident smirk, the son says to his
father: “Told you.” The car’s features blend seamlessly into the plot,
supporting the story rather than taking center stage. The result is
far more than a traditional co-branding exercise: it’s a campaign that
combines entertainment with innovation, the thrilling, action-packed
world of Spider-Man™ with the new BMW models. Filmed in London with
Spider-Man™ stunt double Luke Scott, the teaser was directed by the
duo Hot Icarus and produced by Parasol Island. Jung von Matt Hamburg
developed the campaign in collaboration with BMW. The global
entertainment collaboration was developed in partnership with UEG,
BMW’s global lead entertainment agency.
