Spiderman: Brand New Day review

 

The latest chapter of Spiderman in the MCU begins and with it comes a genuinely great movie that manages to juggle so many things really well without losing much quality. Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker / Spiderman and after the events of the previous movie he is all alone in NYC. Bad guys are popping up everywhere and Spiderman is doing Spidey things while Peter Parker gets put on the back burner. The movie opens with a great montage of both classic villains being apprehended and other various small time crimes being stopped by Spiderman. It's a perfect setup to a movie that introduces a ton of things from Sadie Sink's mysterious character to The Punisher playing a pretty chunky role to even a rampaging Hulk Brand New Day has got it all going on and as a whole l it handles everything well and doesn't rely on too many jokes which was very refreshing.

After the events of the previous movie No Way Home I do really love how much character development Peter Parker gets here throughout. From his ever changing power set that causes him to lose control and gain organic webbing to the real sense of despair he has whenever he's out of the costume it's all really well told and Tom Holland is arguably the best he's ever been throughout. I got to also give A+ because for like 80% of the movie Tom Holland is in the Spiderman costume and it really adds so much to both sides of his character whenever we do see him out of the suit. 


Spiderman: Brand New Day isn't perfect by any means but it is easily the best movie of 2026's blockbuster summer season and ranks pretty highly in overall quality of Spiderman movies as a whole. It's main villain is quite fascinating setting up potentially so many things in a movie that like I said has so many shifting parts. That being said it's just great fun and isn't that all we want from an MCU movie?? a Brand New Day has arrived indeed. 

★★★★
