Spider-Man inspires people to become heroes, says ‘Brand New Day’ director Destin Daniel CrettonDirector Destin Daniel Cretton says Spider-Man's enduring appeal lies in his humanity and vulnerability, themes explored in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. If there is going to be a character to emulate, I can’t think of a better character than Spider-Man,” Cretton, who has directed the new Tom Holland-starrer superhero film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, told PTI in an interview. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, which will hit Indian cinemas on Thursday, is the fourth instalment in Holland’s solo Spider-Man series. In the beginning of the movie, Peter Parker is completely alone and he’s trying to survive that way. Speaking about the film’s scale and action, Cretton said the team has tried to push the boundaries while staying true to the character.
