Samsung and Sony Pictures Partner for ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ via Galaxy Device Integration
Samsung and Sony Pictures are launching a global marketing campaign for the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, featuring the integration of Samsung Galaxy Z series foldable devices and a real-time “Spidey Tracker” interactive digital experience. The partnership includes a fan-powered website that will launch in 35 countries, allowing users to follow Spider-Man sightings in real time.
According to the announcement, Samsung Galaxy devices will serve as central plot elements rather than mere background props. The film, which is scheduled for a theatrical release on July 31, 2026, will feature Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, utilizing a Galaxy Z Flip 7. His associate, Ned Leeds, portrayed by Jacob Batalon, will use a Galaxy Z Fold 7 and a Galaxy Watch to facilitate technical support for the hero.
Samsung Galaxy Integration in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The selection of specific hardware aligns with the functional roles of the characters within the film’s narrative. The compact design of the Galaxy Z Flip 7 is intended to suit the mobility requirements of Peter Parker while he is active in the city. Conversely, the larger display of the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is positioned to match the role of Ned Leeds, who provides technical coordination and data management from a stationary position.

This integration places Samsung’s foldable technology directly in front of a massive global audience. Reports indicate the film’s first trailer has already achieved significant engagement, with one report claiming 718.6 million views within its first 24 hours. Such visibility comes just weeks before the anticipated launch of the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy Z Flip 8 series.
Launch of the Spidey Tracker Interactive Campaign
Beyond the film’s narrative, Samsung and Sony Pictures are introducing the “Spidey Tracker,” a website designed to mirror a plot point where Ned Leeds builds a custom site to locate Spider-Man. The real-world version of the tracker is scheduled to open to the public on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 3 p.m. ET, coinciding with the release of the film’s second trailer.

The campaign will be accessible via SpideyTracker.com and supported by an official X account, @SpideyTracker. The initiative includes several interactive components:
- Real-time tracking and submission of Spider-Man sightings by fans.
- Live activations and content drops.
- Cast appearances and interviews.
- Hidden “easter eggs” at Samsung Experience Stores and various live venues.
- Integration within popular creator videos.

Marketing Strategy and Audience Reach
The collaboration represents a strategic move for Samsung to leverage the massive scale of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Industry analysis suggests that tie-ins with blockbuster franchises provide a high-impact platform for showcasing hardware capabilities. The scale of the marketing push is reflected in its 35-country rollout, targeting a demographic that overlaps heavily with mobile technology consumers.
The timing of the campaign is also notable. By highlighting the Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 during the peak of the film’s promotional cycle, Samsung is maintaining brand relevance in the foldable market immediately preceding its next hardware refresh cycle.
Production Details for Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for his work on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is positioned as a major entry in the MCU. The film follows the events of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and precedes the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

While specific plot details remain subject to studio confirmation, several key casting and production elements have been identified:
- Confirmed Cast: Tom Holland (Peter Parker), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), and Jon Bernthal (The Punisher).
- Rumored Elements: A confrontation involving Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) and the potential MCU debut of Sadie Sink, who is rumored to play Jean Grey.
- Technical Shift: Reports suggest the film may return to the use of organic webbing for the protagonist, a departure from the mechanical web-shooters used in recent installments.
The Spider Tracker app, shown running on a Galaxy Z Fold 7, is a central component of the film’s technological aesthetic.
