Fox News reviews ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ as an action-focused but emotional sequel centred on Peter Parker’s isolation after the events of ‘No Way Home’. The film matters because it revisits the personal cost of Peter’s decision to erase everyone’s memories of him, leaving him without the people closest to him.

Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker, with Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned; the trailer also lists Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo. Having already lost Aunt May, Peter keeps his distance from MJ and Ned to protect them, while privately following Ned’s Instagram posts as his remaining link to their lives.
