Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review - Zendaya Shines in Tom Holland's Evolving Superhero Saga
Tom Holland returns as the troubled webslinger in a new chapter that is sometimes surprising and occasionally drags. At 30 years old, Holland, who recently portrayed Telemachus in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," stating it was his "last chance to play a boy," is back as the supposedly awkward and gangly young superhero Spider-Man. While not quite a "Spider-Boy" anymore, Holland's Spidey is visibly more muscular and robust than before, showcasing impressive biceps. He is growing into the role, but is the role growing with him?
This film serves as a reset. At the conclusion of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," a consequence of Doctor Strange's immense psychic abilities—powers that could have been useful in this particular episode, contributing to the narrative inconsistencies one must simply accept—Peter Parker managed to make everyone forget his secret identity as Spider-Man. This includes his close friend Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) and, crucially, the love of his life, MJ (Zendaya).
