Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have released Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth instalment in the current Spider-Man franchise, in cinemas worldwide, with the highly anticipated superhero film opening exclusively in theatres on Friday.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film continues Peter Parker’s story after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, which ended with the world forgetting Parker’s identity following Doctor Strange’s memory-altering spell.
The new chapter explores the consequences of that sacrifice as Peter embraces life in anonymity while continuing his mission as New York City’s masked protector.
In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter struggles to balance his personal life with his responsibilities as Spider-Man in a world where no one remembers who he is.
As he attempts to rebuild his life from scratch, he faces mounting emotional and personal challenges while confronting a mysterious new villain whose actions threaten New York City and the people closest to him.
