Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)
From IMDb:
Are you ready?
Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. 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.
Director: Destin Daniel Cretton
Writers: Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Stan Lee
Starring: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo
Genres: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi
MPAA: Rated PG-13 for sequences of action/violence and some language.
The Mister and I went on Saturday afternoon to see the movie, and I had a great time with it. Marvel took Peter Parker in a direction that felt right to me. He is older, wiser, and still very much himself, and I liked watching that play out. The story moves with a steady rhythm, and it never forgets who Peter is at his core. I also loved seeing familiar faces again. It felt a little like bumping into old friends at the store and realizing you still like them. The whole thing had a good energy to it, and I walked out feeling happy with the choice to go. I give it a full 5 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a solid superhero story told with care.

I guess Holland and Zendaya getting married was a fall out of this movie??
Nice review
I wondered that myself. And thank you for the sweet note on the review.
I’m so excited to see it tomorrow. Mike isn’t into the Marvel movies, so I go by myself – which I don’t mind at all.
I’m excited for you to see this one. In fact, I thought of you when we were buying our tickets. 😄
I took the great nephews and nieces yesterday.. it was a good addition to the collection, and did feel like natural progression..and perhaps the end of the Tom Holland era.
I look forward to where they take the series next.
That sounds like a great outing. I agree, it really did feel like a natural step in the story. I’m curious too about what direction they’ll take next.
It was good to see the green fella as well.
Oh, yes, I thought so, too. 😊
I haven’t seen it yet, but I have no doubt that it’ll be great! ✨
It will be, it will be. 😄 I hope you get the chance to enjoy it, my friend.
I’ll definitely see it as soon as my schedule permits. I’m a buzzing busy bee, but I hope to see it soon. Have a wonderful day! 🎀
Thank you! You, too! 🩷🌺

Hi Kymber, I haven’t watched a movie in years but I was interested in your opinion about this film.
