Fans have been queuing outside cinemas to catch the latest Spider-Man film, with many hailing it as a spectacular return for the web-slinging superhero. Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks Tom Holland's fourth standalone adventure as the protagonist and hero Peter Parker. The fourth Spider-Man film is director Destin Daniel Cretton's second project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), having previously been at the helm of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Appearing together in the same film for a second time this summer, Holland reprises the role alongside his wife Zendaya, who stars once again as MJ. There is also a return for Jon Bernthal's Punisher, making his first appearance in an MCU feature film, and an introduction to the MCU for Sadie Sink, whose role in the plot has been kept firmly under wraps.
