Overview of Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), Peter Parker finds himself forgotten by everyone, including his friends MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Batalon). As he continues his fight against crime as Spider-Man, a new menace arises in the city, prompting Peter's powers to evolve. The film also features Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in a mysterious role, along with Tramell Tillman from Severance and Liza Colón-Zayas from The Bear. Marvin Jones III joins the cast as a new villain named Lonnie Lincoln, also known as Tombstone.

As previously announced, Brand New Day will not be available in IMAX. Instead, this Marvel and Sony collaboration will be the first Hollywood film to be mastered for EPIQ, a premium large format for screenings in India. The screenplay is co-written by Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, and Justin Kuritzkes from Challengers. The film's title is inspired by the 2008 comic book storyline titled Brand New Day.
