Spider-Man: Brand New Day

2026· 2h 25m

Big-screen superhero action with real stakes

Tom Holland's Spider-Man fights crime full-time in a city that has forgotten him, and the pressure sparks a transformation he may not be able to control. The threat this time is a villain no one can even see, which keeps the tension high and the set pieces unpredictable. At 8.1 on IMDb and 145 minutes of momentum, this is the kind of kinetic sci-fi action that earns the largest screen you can find.
