Overview

Following the multiverse chaos of No Way Home (2021), Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is truly alone. No one remembers him, not even MJ (Zendaya), and he struggles to balance life as a faceless hero in New York City. But when a mysterious surge of dark magic disrupts the city, Peter finds himself drawn back into Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) world — and into a battle that could rewrite destiny itself.

Brand New Day explores Peter’s journey of rebuilding his identity, grappling with sacrifice, and facing enemies old and new who have been altered by fractured timelines.

Highlights

Tom Holland delivers his most mature and emotional performance as a hardened yet hopeful Spider-Man.

Zendaya’s return as MJ is heartfelt, as she begins to question the strange sense of “missing memories” around Peter.

Benedict Cumberbatch adds gravitas as Strange, mentoring Peter while wrestling with the cost of tampering with fate.

Action sequences are dazzling — from web-swinging across a collapsing Brooklyn Bridge to a magical showdown in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

New villains emerge, hinting at the Sinister Six, while the post-credit scene teases the arrival of Miles Morales.

Final Verdict

8.7/10 — Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a bold reset for the franchise. It balances emotional storytelling with breathtaking action, paving the way for Spider-Man’s next era in the MCU.
