Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been hailed by many fans as one of Peter Parker's best solo outings and by far his most amazing MCU-set adventure.
Much of the praise is for the comic-accurate costume and thrilling web-swinging scenes. However, like Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, this latest movie handles Peter's Spider-Sense in a largely subdued manner.
Similar to when he used his "Peter-Tingle" to take down Mysterio, Spidey's danger-warning power is a big part of how he combats Jean Grey in this story. However, there are no slow-motion shots—as seen in Sam Raimi's trilogy—and never a visual representation of what Spider-Man's Spider-Sense "physically" looks like.
In the newly released Spider-Man: Brand New Day - The Art of the Movie book, several pieces confirm that filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton and Marvel Studios considered a visual way to showcase Spider-Sense in action.
Clearly inspired by the comics, this might just have been the cherry on top of the already delicious cake that was Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The movie passed $2 billion this weekend, becoming the second-fastest title to reach the milestone. It now ranks as the fourth-highest-grossing domestic movie of all time behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 million), Avengers: Endgame ($858.3 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($814.8 million), and ahead of Avatar ($785.2 million) with a spectacular $785.8 million.
How much higher can the movie go? It's still too soon to say. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will, however, go down as one of the biggest superhero movies ever domestically, internationally, and worldwide.
In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it's a Brand New Day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control.
But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
In our review, we concluded by saying, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day is everything fans could want. Emotional, hilarious, and heartfelt, it’s an action-packed love letter to the comics and one of Spidey’s best big-screen adventures. Spider-Man has never been more amazing."
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in theaters.
