Spider-Man: Brand New Day Script Pages Revealed
Director Destin Daniel Cretton shares three script pages annotated by himself, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and crew members.
The script pages reveal the opening sequence, as well as a few key details about where the story picks up. As the title suggests, it’s a Brand New Day for Spider-Man.
A Brand New Day for Peter Parker
Tom Holland’s web-slinging Peter Parker returns, only this time, no one in the world has any memory of who he is.
This is a side effect courtesy of the multiverse tampering of the last installment, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
We’re nine months after the events of the ending shot. Peter is in his new apartment, completely alone for the first time.
The Opening Scene Explained
The opening scene involves Peter with the letter he wrote for MJ.
The letter explains what happened with Doctor Strange’s spell and why no one knows who he is.
He developed some unhealthy living patterns, and it’s taking a physical toll on him.
A “small, sharp headache” is described as the first inkling that living completely in the shadows is taking its toll on Peter.
Peter Parker’s New Life Without Resources
Peter no longer has access to Tony Stark’s money or gadgets.
All of his tech needs to have been made by Peter.
He has a homemade fabricator, essentially a “3D printer on steroids — something that could be made by a kid genius w/ limited funds.”
Meet E.V., Peter’s AI Assistant
Enter E.V., Peter’s AI assistant.
She operates similarly to Stark’s J.A.R.V.I.S. or F.R.I.D.A.Y.
She is the closest thing Peter has to a friend.
Keeping an Eye on MJ and Ned
Inside Peter’s room are relics from their time together.
There is Ned’s LEGO Emperor figurine and the coffee cup MJ gave him.
He set up alerts on his phone:
- “flowers for May”
- a notification of a social media post from his former best friend about getting accepted to MIT’s engineering program
“Peter smiles for them, even if he’s miserable without them.”
Opening Action Sequence
Spider-Man is sitting upside down on a steel beam over New York City.
The police scanner notifies him that a SWAT team is en route in 15 minutes.
He pulls his mask down, letting himself fall off the edge.
He webs and swings away as music starts to play and we begin montage.
New Spider-Man Suit Details
Peter has a new Spider-Man suit.
He goes back to his roots and makes a new one himself.
It is inspired by his encounter with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man variants.
The suit features real fabric, seams, and wrinkles.
Updated Marvel Opening Logo
The opening Marvel logo will include footage of memories Peter no longer shares with Ned, MJ, and Aunt May.
Longtime watchers are familiar with the opening logo from any MCU entry.
