‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Script Pages Revealed — Here Are the Details
New details about Spider-Man: Brand New Day have come out after director Destin Daniel Cretton shared annotated script pages from the upcoming film. The pages were marked up by Cretton himself along with actor Tom Holland, Zendaya, and several key crew members. The information gives a clearer look at how the movie begins and where Peter Parker’s story is heading.
The film picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). In this new chapter, Peter Parker is completely forgotten by everyone in the world. That includes his closest friends and allies. He is now alone and living in a small apartment, trying to rebuild his life without any support or recognition.
The opening scene shows Peter dealing with this new reality. He still has the letter he once wrote to MJ, which explained everything about Doctor Strange’s spell. He reads it again, but this time it only reminds him of what he has lost. The story takes place about nine months after the ending of the last film. Peter is shown living in isolation and struggling with his mental and physical health. The script even mentions small signs like headaches, suggesting that the situation is affecting him more than he shows.

The movie also updates the classic Marvel Studios intro. According to Cretton’s notes, the opening logo will now include memories and moments Peter no longer shares with people like MJ, Ned, and Aunt May. These missing connections play a big role in setting the tone of the story.
Peter is also shown in a very different situation compared to earlier films. He no longer has access to Stark technology or funding. Everything he uses now is built by him. One new addition is a homemade AI assistant called E.V. The script describes her as his only real companion, filling the role that systems like J.A.R.V.I.S. once played for Iron Man. He also builds his own tools using a simple but advanced homemade fabricator.
Even though Peter is alone, he still keeps small reminders of his old life. His room contains objects linked to MJ and Ned, including a LEGO figure and a coffee cup. He also sets up phone alerts tied to their lives, like updates about Ned’s college success and reminders related to Aunt May’s grave. The script notes that he still thinks about them often, even if he cannot be part of their lives anymore.
The story also shows Peter watching over MJ and Ned from a distance. He sees updates about them but cannot interact. These moments show how disconnected he has become from the people he once cared about.
Action returns quickly in the opening. Peter is shown high above New York City, responding to a situation after picking up a police alert. He jumps into action and swings through the city as the scene builds into a larger montage of Spider-Man in motion.
One of the biggest reveals is Peter’s new suit. Since he no longer has access to advanced tech, he builds it himself using basic materials. The script describes it as a return to simple design, with visible seams and fabric details. It is also inspired by his earlier encounters with alternate Spider-Men played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in No Way Home. Cretton describes it as something more handmade and personal.
The film is set to continue Peter’s story as he tries to live without being known, while still trying to protect the city. The script pages suggest a more grounded and emotional direction for the character.
At the end of the day, this version of Spider-Man feels more lonely and human than before. Losing everyone’s memory of him changes everything, and it looks like the film will focus heavily on that emotional weight. What do you think about this new direction for Spider-Man? Are you excited for a more grounded story, or do you miss the older versions of the character? Share your thoughts in the comments.
