EXCLUSIVE💥
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the first MCU film to centre the “classic elements” of Spidey, says Kevin Feige.
“[He’s] living in a rather sad, small apartment,” he tells Empire, “going out and using his great power responsibly.”

“This is the first time in my tenure as Spider-Man that I was kind of welcomed into the writers’ room,” Holland reveals to Empire, adding that he and the producers would “meet once every two weeks to pitch ideas and discuss our ambitions and what we wanted to try and do.” He was even instrumental in kick-starting one of Brand New Day’s most significant plot points: that Parker’s powers are evolving in unusual and unexpected ways. “My pitch when I came to the table with it was called ‘Spider-Puberty’,” he says. “What happens if Peter Parker is losing control and things are changing?” That core proved instrumental in what Brand New Day became. “‘Spider-Puberty’ was my tagline pitch to the studio — which was immediately shot down,” Holland says. “But they liked the kernel of the idea and it grew into what we have in the movie now.”
‘Returning to the character nearly five years after we last saw him, Holland is ready to steer Spider-Man into the future – and ensure that, eventually, there’s life beyond Peter Parker too. “For whoever’s next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter,” he says. “Whatever that looks like, I don’t know. But if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset.” Spoken exactly like a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.’

‘As Marvel boss Kevin Feige explains, it sets the stage for perhaps the most comics-accurate Spidey yet. “It is the first Spider-Man film that we’ve made in the MCU that is focused on the classic elements of Spider-Man,” Feige tells Empire in our world-exclusive Brand New Day issue. “He’s doing the Spidey thing of living in a rather sad, small apartment, listening to the police scanner and going out and using his great power responsibly.”’
‘In the absence of his friends – and following the losses of Aunt May and Tony Stark – Brand New Day sees Peter burying himself in his web-slinging work, while his powers undergo strange transformations. “He is dedicating his entire existence to his job. That’s the core theme that I find incredibly relatable,” says director Destin Daniel Cretton. “I think most people at certain points in our lives have gone through loss. At least for me, and I think for many people, the result can be: ‘Screw it. I’m just going to work. I’m going to do nothing else but work.’ That’s obviously not the most healthy state.”’
Next Trailer Coming Soon?
We also have news that Canada has rated a new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day and we also have runtime of 2 minutes and 36 seconds. You can find the details at the Alberta Film Classification website.
We still have no idea when that trailer may drop, but it’s not going to be too long since it’s June next week.
