Brand New Days follows the events of No Way Home, with the spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) causing the world to forget Spider-Man's real identity and erasing all memories of Peter from those closest to him, including girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon).

Marvel has become synonymous with secrecy. Any leak from an MCU set could potentially ruin an enormous surprise for fans, so the studio has taken every possible measure to avoid that throughout its near-20-year history.

A leaked photo from the set of Brand New Day shows a construction area with a completion date of "December 2027". If Spider-Man: Homecoming took place in 2016, that marks some 10 years in prison for Scorpion, and it's likely he may have been released if not for good behavior or by way of finding a legal loophole.
