How many films in the MCU came before Spider-Man: Brand New Day?

The story behind the answer

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, meaning 37 MCU films came before it. The film is also the fourth MCU Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker.

The MCU began with Iron Man in 2008 and expanded across interconnected films featuring characters such as Captain America, Thor, Black Panther, and the Avengers. Brand New Day follows Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was released in 2021.

The film’s position can be confused with its place in the Spider-Man series. It is the fourth Holland-led MCU Spider-Man film, but it is the 38th MCU feature overall. It is also part of Phase Six, a later chapter of the MCU’s larger release plan.
