Spider-Man: Brand New Day might be the best in the franchise

Is it worth watching?

Yes, absolutely.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is easily Tom Holland’s best Spider-Man movie so far. I’m only comparing it to his trilogy, not Tobey Maguire’s or Andrew Garfield’s films.

The biggest improvement is Peter Parker himself. This time, the movie focuses just as much on Peter as it does on Spider-Man. His loneliness, trauma, and personal struggles finally get the attention they deserve, making him feel like a more complete and mature character.

One of the film’s highlights is Peter’s gradual transformation into the Spider-Man fans have been waiting to see. The visual effects, execution, and overall presentation of that journey are impressive and make the character development feel natural.

The emotional moments between Peter and MJ also work really well. Their relationship has genuine weight, and a few scenes are surprisingly heartbreaking without feeling forced.

The villain is decent, but not particularly memorable. If you’re familiar with the X-Men comics, you’ll know how powerful Jean Grey can be. This film doesn’t fully explore that potential and instead focuses on setting up bigger things for the future. By the end, however, the character leaves a strong impression.

Overall, don’t expect a groundbreaking story. It’s still a fairly typical Marvel plot. What makes the movie enjoyable is its execution, character development, and strong performances. If you’re a Spider-Man fan, it’s definitely worth watching in theatres.

Does it have any cameo?

Yes, and both cameos are more than just fan service.

Jon Bernthal returns as The Punisher, and he steals almost every scene he’s in. Unlike Spider-Man, Punisher doesn’t believe in second chances. He’s ruthless, aggressive, and willing to kill if that’s what it takes to stop criminals. Watching Peter’s hopeful and compassionate approach clash with Punisher’s brutal methods creates some of the movie’s most intense and entertaining moments.

The film also features Hulk, and his appearance has a similar impact. Hulk isn’t there just for a quick surprise. His immense strength, intimidating screen presence, and no-nonsense attitude immediately raise the stakes whenever he appears. Even though his role is limited, he leaves a strong impression and adds another exciting layer to the story.

If you’re a Marvel fan, these cameos are definitely worth experiencing on the big screen.

Does it have any post-credit scenes?

There is no mid-credit scene.

However, you should stay until the very end of the credits. The movie includes a post-credit scene that hints at Spider-Man’s future and sets up what’s coming next.

If you’re planning to watch the film, don’t leave the theatre as soon as the credits start rolling. The final scene is worth waiting for.
