Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms Spider-Man: Brand New Day will focus on Tom Holland's Spider-Man tackling street-level crime.
After years of multiverse mayhem and Avengers-scale cataclysms, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is officially returning to his roots — and this time, it’s personal. During a roundtable conversation attended by Collider’s Steve Weintraub for Fantastic Four, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirmed that the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day will shift Peter Parker’s focus back to the streets of New York alongside Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle aka The Punisher. Feige says Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks the beginning of a “proper Spider-Man” era in the MCU.
“I think there’s a promise at the end of No Way Home, that for as sad as it is that Peter is forgotten by everyone in his life, we are seeing for the first time in the Tom Holland Spider-Man stories him being a proper Spider-Man. Him being by himself, dedicated to saving the city, and dealing with — for lack of better terms — street-level crime, as opposed to world-ending events.”
Feige went on to explain why this new direction opens the door to characters we haven’t seen Holland’s Spider-Man interact with yet — including one that hardcore fans have long been waiting for.
“So when you do that, you say, okay, who are the other street-level characters that we’ve never seen him interact with? And of course, I love that The Punisher started in a Spider-Man comic. That great cover... I don’t want to say too much, but Destin — I will say too much — Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. And he’s got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool.”
