The Story
Four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker is now living entirely alone. He voluntarily erased himself from the memories of the people he once loved, trading friendship and romance for their safety. In a New York that no longer recognizes him, Peter pours every waking hour into fighting crime as Spider-Man.
But the prolonged isolation is starting to wear on him in an unexpected way — setting off a physical transformation Peter himself isn't sure he can control. Ironically, that very change may be the only thing capable of stopping a dangerous new threat: an enemy that almost no one is able to see.
"A brand new day starts now."
Director Destin Daniel Cretton — who previously helmed Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — takes over from Jon Watts, bringing a tone many early reports describe as darker and more mature than Tom Holland's previous three Spider-Man films. The script comes from Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who also wrote No Way Home.
The film is the 38th entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and marks the return of several familiar faces alongside new characters entering the Spider-Man corner of the MCU for the first time.
