Preview showings of Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicked off, with the full release on Friday, July 31. Read my review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day right here. Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Peter Parker is now an adult living alone after asking Doctor Strange to erase all memory of his identity from the world to save the multiverse. A solitary hero now, Peter has devoted himself to being Spider-Man, protecting New York City while struggling with isolation and the consequences of his sacrifice.
