Spider-Man's movie window just got an Island-side date stamp. Epic's Fortnite channel posted An Exclusive Look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day, a crossover trailer that mixes an extended film preview with in-game cosmetics and mobility. Tom Holland appears on camera. The Item Shop looks land on Brand New Day Spidey plus Punisher and Hulk outfits pulled from the film's cast. The only hard gameplay date in Epic's own description is Web Shooter return on August 1.
What Epic put in the description
The official upload is the primary source for timing. It is short and specific:
You heard him! Spider-Man is returning to Fortnite, and we've got an exclusive look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day, exclusively in theaters July 31st. Web Shooter gameplay returns August 1!
That is Epic writing on the Fortnite YouTube page for the trailer. Theaters July 31 is the film. August 1 is when Web Shooter gameplay comes back. Do not collapse those into one Power Hour rumor if you are planning a session around the Mythic.
Cosmetics the trailer actually shows
The back half of the clip is the shop tease. You get a clear Fortnite model of the Brand New Day Spider-Man suit in motion, a Jon Bernthal-style Punisher with suppressor SMG and ammo-belt back bling, and a roaring Hulk pass through the same map lighting. Earlier in the week Epic had already webbed up Battlewoods as a teaser location. The trailer closes that loop with Spidey posing over the Battle Woods signage.
Shop prices, bundle SKUs, wrap/pickaxe lists, and quest ladders are not in the description. Treat those as TBD until the Item Shop rotates them live.
