''My flabber has been ghasted. I loved #SpiderManBrandNewDay! Destin Daniel Cretton and Tom Holland put their hearts and souls into this thing, and it pays off HUGE! This movie is going to be massive and we’re going to be talking about it for a while. I was floored by how well everything is balanced - emotion, humor, action, practical vs visual effects, score, and the cinematography. This felt so handmade, even with some of the massive set pieces and is filled to the top with heart.''

What is Spider-Man: Brand New Day about?

Directed by Cretton, the film revisits Peter Parker's world, but this time he’s completely alone, cut off from his friends and girlfriend after the world forgot who he is. With all this isolation, how will he navigate this new challenge? This makes up the rest of the story.

The official synopsis of the movie reads, “Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves,” the synopsis says. “Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he’s devoted himself entirely to protecting his city — a full-time Spider-Man — but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.”
