Last night the cast and crew of Spider-Man: Brand New Day was out in force in LA for the film’s premiere. Ahead of its arrival in cinemas across the UK tomorrow (29/7) the social media embargo has lifted and we have our first idea what critics think of Tom Holland’s latest solo-outing as Peter Parker.
For the most part the reactions are positive with many citing the film as Tom Holland’s best performance yet in the MCU. Others highlight Sadie Sink’s mysterious role as a highlight of the film. Whilst many call the film one of the best Spider-Man film there are some critics that perhaps Brand New Day is “overstuffed” or “messy”.
Here’s a selection of what critics have had to say so far:
The full review embargo for Brand New Day lifts at 14:00 BST today. We’ll be seeing the film tonight and will bring you our review as quickly as we can after that.
It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves – a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day was written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Trammel Tillman, Micheal Mando and Mark Ruffalo.
Sony Pictures presents Spider-Man: Brand New Day in UK and Irish cinemas from July 29, 2026.
