Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

Big-screen superhero action with real stakes

Tom Holland's Spider-Man fights crime full-time in a city that has forgotten him, and the pressure cracks something open in Peter Parker he may not be able to control. Director Destin Daniel Cretton pits him against a powerful villain no one can even see, which is a sharp hook for set pieces built on tension and reversal. At 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.1 on IMDb, this is the one to see loud and large.
