Generations: The Evolution of Spider-Man (2026) Movie Script

-Peter.
-[Peter 1, 2, 3] Yeah?
-Oh, sorry, did you mean me?
-Oh, sorry, did you mean me?
[Peter 2] Who am I?
[Peter 1] Peter 1, Peter 2. Peter 3.
Peter 3.
[Peter 2] You sure you wanna know?
-Whoa.
-[Distorted echoing voice] Peter.
Can I take your picture?
-For the school paper?
-Sure.
[Peter 2] If somebody told you I was just
your
average, ordinary guy,
somebody lied.
[Tom Holland] It feels surreal to
be here again,
to have done something that feels fresh
and new and different.
[Amy Pascal] Tom Holland, the greatest.
He embodies everything that is
Peter Parker.
[Kevin Feige] Because he is Peter Parker.
[Tom Holland] There's no secret that I was
incredibly jealous of their suits.
Cool Spidey outfit.
[Destin Daniel Cretton]
Every Spider-Man movie,
the greatest challenge is how to
push the action.
[Tom Holland] I think that this is some
of the best
action that we've had in any of
these movies.
And people of all ages seem to love
Spider-Man.
[Tom Holland]
It is a real joy and a real privilege to
be able to bring that sort of happiness
to people.
[laughs]
Woo!
[Peter 2] This is my gift,
my curse.
Who am I?
-[Peter 1] I'm Spider-Man.
-[Peter 3] I'm Spider-Man.
[Peter 2] I'm Spider-Man.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you.
[music builds]
I guess I'll see you.
[Destin Daniel Cretton] Every rendition of
Spider-Man has been quite different,
but the spirit of Peter Parker
remains the same.
I think it's really cool to see
this character
reinterpreted by different writers and
different directors over time, and what's
been fun in this movie is to see what our
Peter has learned from that experience.
[Tom Holland] Sharing the screen with
Tobey and Andrew
will be the highlight of my career
till kingdom come.
There's no secret that I was
incredibly jealous of their suits,
because they looked really cool, and they
were super comfortable, and the way that
they were made was set up so that they
could have a much easier time on set.
[Tobey Maguire] The suit can definitely
be, like, a challenge
at times when you gotta get in
the full thing.
Um, but then, like getting
comfortable in it, there is something
fun. Yeah, it just helps as an actor when
you get in your costume, you begin to,
like, feel it more and embody it more.
I liked wearing it because when I got into
the action or just the movements,
it really gave me a freedom to step into
that character.
I tried a suit on where the webbing was
three-dimensional.
There were separate pieces, like, on top
of the suit.
That's what sort of put it over the top,
'cause it added dimension to the suit.
Cool Spidey outfit.
Thanks.
Whoa.
-That came out of you.
-Yeah.
-You can't do that, huh?
-No.
The first trilogy was organic, but we
think that this day and age, it could be
believable that Peter could come up with
a system to do it mechanically.
[web shooting]
[Andrew Garfield] That was such a big
thing for him,
where he gets to flex his
science muscles, and
something exciting for the audience to go
through with him.
This is the outfit. It's different. I
mean, we're, we're changing things up.
Yeah.
The suit is what people love. Whatever
body is in that suit
doesn't really matter. That's what I find
so wonderful about, about this character,
is that he is everyone's, and he is
everyone.
What the hell are you wearing?
It's my suit.
Where's the case?
[Tom Holland] The suit is one of the
coolest things that
has ever happened to me in my whole life.
[Kevin Feige] The Spider-Man costume is
probably, with no exaggeration,
one of the best graphic designed elements
in the history of graphic design.
Whoa.
Oh my God.
This is insane.
[Tom Holland] It's weird, 'cause it is
like wearing a
work of art, and they look exactly like
you'd imagine them out of the comics,
that it feels like you should be able to
climb walls
and you should be able to shoot webs.
What else can this suit do?
[gasps] What?
Before we started designing
the suit for Brand New Day, I tried on
Andrew's suit, and I tried on Tobey's
suit, and then I tried on my suit, and we
kind of created a spider child of all
three costumes. And I think now having
seen his, like, his older brothers
don their costumes and look so fantastic,
it was actually a really cool thing to
look up to his big brothers and dress like
them.
[Andrew Garfield] We were talking about,
like, the idea of
how cool it is to wear
the Spider-Man suit, but in reality, it
takes three people and five shoehorns and
a lot of talcum powder and oil.
Where are you using your talcum powder?
-Not really using talcum powder.
-Oh, okay.
'Cause that's how I started off.
-[laughs]
-The way to get your boots on is we have
these plastic bags that I put over my
feet.
-Ah, slippery.
-And then they slide right in.
But the only thing is is you get
mad sweaty feet.
Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
So working with Tom, it's
amazing. I mean,
he knows more about this character
than anybody. We spend a lot of times
talking to him and trying to make the
costume as
comfortable and as just user-friendly.
[Tom Holland] And that birthed this
really interesting
idea of what if we made a suit that was an
homage to Tobey's and Andrew's designs,
because now my Peter Parker had met
those guys.
This time, it's really interesting.
Because he's just met the two other
Spider-Men, the costume he makes for
himself is very influenced by Tobey's
costume, Andrew's costume.
At the end of No Way Home, because nobody
knows who he is,
all he might have are the components of
the old suits that Tony built for him, and
his own smarts.
He's making the suit himself.
That changed
the look of the costume, made it less
high-tech looking
and just much more
down-to-earth.
[Destin Daniel Cretton] It was important
in this movie to tell the
story of a Peter Parker who no longer has
Tony Stark to lean on, and so the suit
that you see feels like classic
Spider-Man.
He was really happy. He looks really
badass in it.
[intense music]
[grunting]
From Tobey to Andrew, and now Tom,
Spider-Man is such a physically demanding
role, and looking back, each film pushed
it further and further in stunts.
Action.
Tobey did a tremendous amount of his own
stunts in this picture, as much as
I would allow him to do.
They put a harness on and hook me up to
the wires, and they can control your
acceleration, your deceleration. So they'd
bring me up slowly at first. By the end
of the day, I'm going 50, 60 feet up like,
like a blast. Boom.
And then coming down. Oomph.
[screaming]
Woohoo!
You know, it's always fun
when you go in to do
something and you don't really, you're not
sure if you can pull it off or not, and
you do it, and you pull it off, and then
you're like, "Wow."
That was actually kind of fun.
I actually had to, I actually had to slow
up a little bit, I will say.
Here we go. Ready? And three,
two, one, action.
Andrew, he's a gymnast, so he's able to
do
a lot of his own stunts, and he really
informs the way Spider-Man moves.
-Okay, Jack, climb now.
-I can't.
-Yes, you can.
-And drop.
-No.
-[screaming]
I wanted to do something movement-wise
different than I've seen the character be
before, and like starting from the ground
up and going, "Well, so what's happened to"
"Peter Parker's DNA?" All of these
abilities now, he's confident in them.
Everybody's main aim is to make it look as
though you're watching a real physical
guy doing this physical action. He can't
have webs and he can't swing from crane to
crane, but we then want the audience to
walk out of there thinking, "Wow, how the
heck did they do that?"
You need a very physical actor
that can do it.
We had Andrew, who likes to push
boundaries.
He moved like a spider. That was his
whole thing.
He was always asking like,
"Is -this, does it feel spidery enough?"
I love being physical, and it's important
for me. It's one of my favorite things to
do.
And now.
And in Tom, we got even luckier because we
found a kid who not only is a great
actor, also can do a standing back flip
just for fun.
The fact that he had been a dancer and
understood what it meant to tell a story
physically, it was wonderful for us.
One of the first days we were
working together,
he decided to enter the scene by jumping
on a trampoline and doing a back flip and
then landing right in front of me.
That was incredible.
He is very athletic and does most of his
own stunts.
I feel like a badass right now.
[laughs]
Every Spider-Man movie, the greatest
challenge is how to push the action.
Mark it.
I think you'll feel that journey continue
in Brand New Day.
I always love to do a real stunt.
We want people to feel the weight, feel
the power.
We talk of make a very grounded real
action for Spider-Man.
We had a real tank on real streets with
real stunts while we were setting off real
explosions behind him, and it was crazy
to see.
[explosion]
But that's what make people feel like,
"Wow, like you guys really go for it."
Three, two, one, action.
Putting Spider-Man on the street with cars
exploding, it's just so awesome.
[crowd cheering]
My good friend Nathan Kim is an amazing
dancer and an amazing dance choreographer,
and he was able to experiment with
different types of movement that would
help communicate part of our story.
It was a really intense and amazing
journey to, to figure out how to get all
of our puzzle pieces working together when
we had car crashes happening, vehicles
exploding, getting everyone onto
the same page
so that we could push things even further.
There are advancements that
we're able to do
that allowed us to accomplish more things.
In this movie, we have the camera in the
suit on the eye of Tom Holland as
he's skydiving off of a skyscraper.
It was just like-
Let's try and get a shot inside his mask
of his eyeball.
That could be cool [laughs]
And then, and then I, I tried to figure
out how to do it.
I think those shots look amazing.
A lot of the stuff that they have done has
elevated this character to a whole new
level, and I think that this is
some of the best action
that we've had in any of these movies.
Take two.
[cheering]
Tom! Tom!
What's unique about Spider-Man is that it
starts at the age of two
or earlier,
and it goes all the way to people my age
and older. The appeal of the character,
the Peter Parker in all of us, it has all
the elements.
He's international.
Hola. Buenos dias.
-Hey, everyone.
-[speaking Japanese]
Hello and good morning from Limpopo,
South Africa.
Hello from Indonesia.
-Mexico.
-Istanbul, Turkey.
-Kazakhstan.
-Hi from New Zealand.
Every couple of months, one of my friends
will go,
"Dude, you're Spider-Man.
You're doing Spider-Man."
I can't wait for that movie," you know?
And they, like,
get all excited. I'm like, "Yeah, that is
cool."
Spider-Man!
They love me.
I definitely think that, you
know, most people identify me with the,
the Spider-Man character, and I
fortunately just love kids so much, and
it's, it's a lot of fun to, to have
interactions with kids when, when, you
know, they're meeting Spider-Man. I love
it. I love talking to kids and, and, um,
giving them a good experience in the
movies. You know, if they can have fun
watching the movies and they get a kick
out of meeting me, then, then that's
great.
You know who I am. Your friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man.
Woo-hoo!
-You know Amy and Matt?
-Yes.
-And Javi and Laura.
-Are you kidding me?
We have some news. So you're gonna be
the next Spider-Man.
[clapping]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Take it in.
-It's gonna be impossible to take in.
-[laughs]
I'm flattered and honored,
and I will work as hard as any boy has
ever worked.
The shoes that had to be filled were
enormous, and the casting of that
character is everything.
I thought he embodied the spirit of an
adolescent unlike anybody else I had seen.
Andrew came in. He couldn't believe it.
He almost passed out.
I didn't think I had a hope in hell of
being cast, like, genuinely.
So when I first heard about it, I, I kind
of thought, "Well, I hope they do a good"
"job." That was my only real thought,
because I love the first three films.
Eventually, I kind of got to a very quiet
place within myself and, you know, this
little voice came up, and it was me as a
three-year-old, and he was like, "Yo, yo",
yo, what the hell are you thinking? Of
course you're gonna go and do this because
this has always been
what you've wanted to do your whole life
since you were born. You were meant to be
"in contention for this role."
It's always meant a great deal to me, and
I've always somehow related to it and
found hope in Peter Parker's struggle, and
I've been allowed to step into the shoes
of someone that I've always wanted to step
into the shoes of.
[plucky hopeful music]
This is... I think this might be the most
incredible day of my life, and
I've always wanted to be at Comic-Con in
Hall H as Spider-Man with all of you guys.
-It's always been a dream of mine.
-All right.
So thanks for having me.
[cheers]
You have no idea. You have no idea how
much this means to me
I think the thing I'm proudest of is the
fact
that people of all ages seem to love
Spider-Man.
[cheering]
[Tom Holland] There's always a real
special moment when
I put the suit on, especially in front of
little kids, and they see the suit, and
their eyes light up and stuff.
It is a real joy and a real privilege
to be able to
bring that sort of happiness to people.
[cheering]
There is something about that mask
that
anybody, no matter what your ethnicity, no
matter where you are in the world, you
can picture yourself behind that mask.
[cheering]
Anyway, I got to get back to work. See you
later. Thank you.
Thanks, guys. See you later.
Oh, it's j-it's just my mom's gonna be
wondering where I'm at.
It's okay. You, you really don't have to.
C- Can we do this again?
It's bizarre to think about the fact that
it's been over a decade now for me.
Still feels like yesterday, though.
[upbeat strings playing]
Tobey was one thing,
Andrew was one thing, and Tom is a whole
other thing.
It's a different energy. He's a kid, and
yet
he's got this awesome,
masculine power.
Tom Holland!
Peter Parker is basically
just an American
version of myself who's really clever.
I'm intimidating.
If anybody were to be a real Spider-Man in
real life, I would want it to be Tom.
Here we go, buddy.
He's just a nice, likable guy. Tom
is just
the way I had pictured Spider-Man being
when I created Spider-Man.
With great power comes great
responsibility.
I get to be Spider-Man. It's the coolest
thing ever. It feels surreal to me to be
here again, to have done something that
feels fresh and new and different.
It was important to us to cast someone who
really was kind of young and who we could
watch grow up before our eyes over the
course of these movies.
When we started the Home trilogy,
we really wanted to embrace and lean into
the kid aspect. Tom Holland was actually a
teenager when we started.
I watched Tom
grow up in front of my eyes.
He's just raw Tom Holland.
Look at him go.
I'm so excited that I get to
watch how you work and, oh, that's, that's
how... Oh, that's interesting. Oh, it
was, I was like, it was like cool.
So it's like a, it's a mutual kind of
mentorship, menteeship, and
you don't know who's the mentor.
You can see his progression from
Homecoming to now, that he really is on
his game.
The advice that Tom Holland was given by
Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker and Tobey
Maguire's Peter Parker made its way into
our script and our story, and you'll feel
that journey continue in Brand New Day.
Give me a sec.
I'm not in high school anymore.
I think it was important to allow Peter
Parker to grow up off camera so that we
could create a world that felt more
mature, felt different to the previous
trilogy, and give Destin a almost blank
canvas to build something new.
Tom Holland really embraced this new stage
in Peter Parker's life, and Tom
just gives such a mature performance
in this movie.
What is happening to me?
I think it definitely wouldn't be the
movie that it is without Tom Holland
because of all the work that he's doing
behind the camera.
Tom Holland, the greatest. He embodies
everything that is Peter Parker.
-I'm happy.
-Let's just do one more.
Because he is Peter Parker.
Because he has all that inside him for
real.
-You're just becoming Spider-Man.
-That's so good.
-[laughs]
-Yes.
I try my best. I try my best.
[Ned] I can't believe our first
day at MIT.
MJ, come on, pretend like you're not the
happiest you've ever been in
your entire life.
-I can't.
-Ah, I knew it.
This movie is about a journey to a
brand-new day.
Peter Parker is in a city surrounded
by millions of people,
and yet he feels completely alone.
-Mark it.
-Action.
Hi, my name is Peter Parker.
You don't remember me, but we used
to know each other.
So much of this film is about him coming
to the understanding that the best way to
keep the ones that he loves safe is to
keep them away from him.
Something bad was gonna happen, and the
only way to stop it was to make everyone
forget about me. Because I'm not just
Peter Parker,
I'm Spider-Man.
[intense music]
Action.
This movie is about a web of lies that he
has told himself are all true falling
apart,
and it is about thinking that the past is
buried,
and it always comes back.
First time in our MCU Peter Parker that he
is on his own. He is focusing
mainly on Spider-Man, so no one knows who
Peter Parker is.
[Tom Holland] That creates a pressure and
a stress
that sparks this metamorphosis in
him.
What is happening to me?
He is gonna be a loner.
Three, two, one, go.
As he chooses to be more of his darker
side, he becomes more spider-like.
Oh, God.
[screams]
The key arc of Peter's journey is about
him learning that he can't do this alone.
-Excuse me, Dr. Banner, I need your help.
-What'd you say your name was?
It's been five years since the last movie
took place. It'll be less about problems
in high school and more about himself and
saving the city.
Stay out of my way.
Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob, Jon Bernthal.
Motherf...
Go home.
[laughs]
Mark Ruffalo. You can't ask for a cooler
cast.
-I'm, uh, MJ.
-I'm just a neighbor from across the hall.
-Friendly neighbor.
-[coughs]
This movie has so much heart as well as so
much action and so much fun.
[crash]
Uh, sorry about that.
And there is twists and turns and things
that fans will love.
You're losing it, kid.
It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be
really cool.
[intense music]
The beautiful thing is watching a
character accept that life changes, but
every morning there is a brand-new day,
and that is equally as exciting.
The brand-new day of this movie,
it isn't the beginning. It's in the last
frame of this movie.
[intense music]
[web shoots]
-Peter.
-[Peter 1, 2, 3] Yeah?
-Oh, sorry, did you mean me?
-Oh, sorry, did you mean me?
[Peter 2] Who am I?
[Peter 1] Peter 1, Peter 2. Peter 3.
Peter 3.
[Peter 2] You sure you wanna know?
-Whoa.
-[Distorted echoing voice] Peter.
Can I take your picture?
-For the school paper?
-Sure.
[Peter 2] If somebody told you I was just
your
average, ordinary guy,
somebody lied.
[Tom Holland] It feels surreal to
be here again,
to have done something that feels fresh
and new and different.
[Amy Pascal] Tom Holland, the greatest.

Andrew, he's a gymnast, so he's able to
do
a lot of his own stunts, and he really
informs the way Spider-Man moves.
-Okay, Jack, climb now.
-I can't.
-Yes, you can.
-And drop.
-No.
-[screaming]
I wanted to do something movement-wise
different than I've seen the character be
before, and like starting from the ground
up and going, "Well, so what's happened to"
"Peter Parker's DNA?" All of these
abilities now, he's confident in them.
Everybody's main aim is to make it look as
though you're watching a real physical
guy doing this physical action. He can't
have webs and he can't swing from crane to
crane, but we then want the audience to
walk out of there thinking, "Wow, how the
heck did they do that?"
You need a very physical actor
that can do it.
We had Andrew, who likes to push
boundaries.
He moved like a spider. That was his
whole thing.
He was always asking like,
"Is -this, does it feel spidery enough?"
I love being physical, and it's important
for me. It's one of my favorite things to
do.
And now.
And in Tom, we got even luckier because we
found a kid who not only is a great
actor, also can do a standing back flip
just for fun.
The fact that he had been a dancer and
understood what it meant to tell a story
physically, it was wonderful for us.
One of the first days we were
working together,
he decided to enter the scene by jumping
on a trampoline and doing a back flip and
then landing right in front of me.
That was incredible.
He is very athletic and does most of his
own stunts.
I feel like a badass right now.
[laughs]
Every Spider-Man movie, the greatest
challenge is how to push the action.
Mark it.
I think you'll feel that journey continue
in Brand New Day.
I always love to do a real stunt.
We want people to feel the weight, feel
the power.
We talk of make a very grounded real
action for Spider-Man.
We had a real tank on real streets with
real stunts while we were setting off real
explosions behind him, and it was crazy
to see.
[explosion]
But that's what make people feel like,
"Wow, like you guys really go for it."
Three, two, one, action.
Putting Spider-Man on the street with cars
exploding, it's just so awesome.
[crowd cheering]
My good friend Nathan Kim is an amazing
dancer and an amazing dance choreographer,
and he was able to experiment with
different types of movement that would
help communicate part of our story.
It was a really intense and amazing
journey to, to figure out how to get all
of our puzzle pieces working together when
we had car crashes happening, vehicles
exploding, getting everyone onto
the same page
so that we could push things even further.
There are advancements that
we're able to do
that allowed us to accomplish more things.
In this movie, we have the camera in the
suit on the eye of Tom Holland as
he's skydiving off of a skyscraper.
It was just like-
Let's try and get a shot inside his mask
of his eyeball.
That could be cool [laughs]
And then, and then I, I tried to figure
out how to do it.
I think those shots look amazing.
A lot of the stuff that they have done has
elevated this character to a whole new
level, and I think that this is
some of the best action
that we've had in any of these movies.
Take two.
[cheering]
Tom! Tom!
What's unique about Spider-Man is that it
starts at the age of two
or earlier,
and it goes all the way to people my age
and older. The appeal of the character,
the Peter Parker in all of us, it has all
the elements.
He's international.
Hola. Buenos dias.
-Hey, everyone.
-[speaking Japanese]
Hello and good morning from Limpopo,
South Africa.
Hello from Indonesia.
-Mexico.
-Istanbul, Turkey.
-Kazakhstan.
-Hi from New Zealand.
Every couple of months, one of my friends
will go,
"Dude, you're Spider-Man.
You're doing Spider-Man."
I can't wait for that movie," you know?
And they, like,
get all excited. I'm like, "Yeah, that is
cool."
Spider-Man!
They love me.
I definitely think that, you
know, most people identify me with the,
the Spider-Man character, and I
fortunately just love kids so much, and
it's, it's a lot of fun to, to have
interactions with kids when, when, you
know, they're meeting Spider-Man. I love
it. I love talking to kids and, and, um,
giving them a good experience in the
movies. You know, if they can have fun
watching the movies and they get a kick
out of meeting me, then, then that's
great.
You know who I am. Your friendly
neighborhood Spider-Man.
Woo-hoo!
-You know Amy and Matt?
-Yes.
-And Javi and Laura.
-Are you kidding me?
We have some news. So you're gonna be
the next Spider-Man.
[clapping]
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-Take it in.
-It's gonna be impossible to take in.
-[laughs]
I'm flattered and honored,
and I will work as hard as any boy has
ever worked.
The shoes that had to be filled were
enormous, and the casting of that
character is everything.
I thought he embodied the spirit of an
adolescent unlike anybody else I had seen.
Andrew came in. He couldn't believe it.
He almost passed out.
I didn't think I had a hope in hell of
being cast, like, genuinely.
So when I first heard about it, I, I kind
of thought, "Well, I hope they do a good"
"job." That was my only real thought,
because I love the first three films.
Eventually, I kind of got to a very quiet
place within myself and, you know, this
little voice came up, and it was me as a
three-year-old, and he was like, "Yo, yo",
yo, what the hell are you thinking? Of
course you're gonna go and do this because
this has always been
what you've wanted to do your whole life
since you were born. You were meant to be
"in contention for this role."
It's always meant a great deal to me, and
I've always somehow related to it and
found hope in Peter Parker's struggle, and
I've been allowed to step into the shoes
of someone that I've always wanted to step
into the shoes of.
[plucky hopeful music]
This is... I think this might be the most
incredible day of my life, and
I've always wanted to be at Comic-Con in
Hall H as Spider-Man with all of you guys.
-It's always been a dream of mine.
-All right.
So thanks for having me.
[cheers]
You have no idea. You have no idea how
much this means to me
I think the thing I'm proudest of is the
fact
that people of all ages seem to love
Spider-Man.
[cheering]
[Tom Holland] There's always a real
special moment when
I put the suit on, especially in front of
little kids, and they see the suit, and
their eyes light up and stuff.
It is a real joy and a real privilege
to be able to
bring that sort of happiness to people.
[cheering]
There is something about that mask
that
anybody, no matter what your ethnicity, no
matter where you are in the world, you
can picture yourself behind that mask.
[cheering]
Anyway, I got to get back to work. See you
later. Thank you.
Thanks, guys. See you later.
Oh, it's j-it's just my mom's gonna be
wondering where I'm at.
It's okay. You, you really don't have to.
C- Can we do this again?
It's bizarre to think about the fact that
it's been over a decade now for me.
Still feels like yesterday, though.
[upbeat strings playing]
Tobey was one thing,
Andrew was one thing, and Tom is a whole
other thing.
It's a different energy. He's a kid, and
yet
he's got this awesome,
masculine power.
Tom Holland!
Peter Parker is basically
just an American
version of myself who's really clever.
I'm intimidating.
If anybody were to be a real Spider-Man in
real life, I would want it to be Tom.
Here we go, buddy.
He's just a nice, likable guy. Tom
is just
the way I had pictured Spider-Man being
when I created Spider-Man.
With great power comes great
responsibility.
I get to be Spider-Man. It's the coolest
thing ever. It feels surreal to me to be
here again, to have done something that
feels fresh and new and different.
It was important to us to cast someone who
really was kind of young and who we could
watch grow up before our eyes over the
course of these movies.
When we started the Home trilogy,
we really wanted to embrace and lean into
the kid aspect. Tom Holland was actually a
teenager when we started.
I watched Tom
grow up in front of my eyes.
He's just raw Tom Holland.
Look at him go.
I'm so excited that I get to
watch how you work and, oh, that's, that's
how... Oh, that's interesting. Oh, it
was, I was like, it was like cool.
So it's like a, it's a mutual kind of
mentorship, menteeship, and
you don't know who's the mentor.
You can see his progression from
Homecoming to now, that he really is on
his game.
The advice that Tom Holland was given by
Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker and Tobey
Maguire's Peter Parker made its way into
our script and our story, and you'll feel
that journey continue in Brand New Day.
Give me a sec.
I'm not in high school anymore.
I think it was important to allow Peter
Parker to grow up off camera so that we
could create a world that felt more
mature, felt different to the previous
trilogy, and give Destin a almost blank
canvas to build something new.
Tom Holland really embraced this new stage
in Peter Parker's life, and Tom
just gives such a mature performance
in this movie.
What is happening to me?
I think it definitely wouldn't be the
movie that it is without Tom Holland
because of all the work that he's doing
behind the camera.
Tom Holland, the greatest. He embodies
everything that is Peter Parker.
-I'm happy.
-Let's just do one more.
Because he is Peter Parker.
Because he has all that inside him for
real.
-You're just becoming Spider-Man.
-That's so good.
-[laughs]
-Yes.
I try my best. I try my best.
[Ned] I can't believe our first
day at MIT.
MJ, come on, pretend like you're not the
happiest you've ever been in
your entire life.
-I can't.
-Ah, I knew it.
This movie is about a journey to a
brand-new day.
Peter Parker is in a city surrounded
by millions of people,
and yet he feels completely alone.
-Mark it.
-Action.
Hi, my name is Peter Parker.
You don't remember me, but we used
to know each other.
So much of this film is about him coming
to the understanding that the best way to
keep the ones that he loves safe is to
keep them away from him.
Something bad was gonna happen, and the
only way to stop it was to make everyone
forget about me. Because I'm not just
Peter Parker,
I'm Spider-Man.
[intense music]
Action.
This movie is about a web of lies that he
has told himself are all true falling
apart,
and it is about thinking that the past is
buried,
and it always comes back.
First time in our MCU Peter Parker that he
is on his own. He is focusing
mainly on Spider-Man, so no one knows who
Peter Parker is.
[Tom Holland] That creates a pressure and
a stress
that sparks this metamorphosis in
him.
What is happening to me?
He is gonna be a loner.
Three, two, one, go.
As he chooses to be more of his darker
side, he becomes more spider-like.
Oh, God.
[screams]
The key arc of Peter's journey is about
him learning that he can't do this alone.
-Excuse me, Dr. Banner, I need your help.
-What'd you say your name was?
It's been five years since the last movie
took place. It'll be less about problems
in high school and more about himself and
saving the city.
Stay out of my way.
Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob, Jon Bernthal.
Motherf...
Go home.
[laughs]
Mark Ruffalo. You can't ask for a cooler
cast.
-I'm, uh, MJ.
-I'm just a neighbor from across the hall.
-Friendly neighbor.
-[coughs]
This movie has so much heart as well as so
much action and so much fun.
[crash]
Uh, sorry about that.
And there is twists and turns and things
that fans will love.
You're losing it, kid.
It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be
really cool.
[intense music]
The beautiful thing is watching a
character accept that life changes, but
every morning there is a brand-new day,
and that is equally as exciting.
The brand-new day of this movie,
it isn't the beginning. It's in the last
frame of this movie.
[intense music]
