Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally hitting theaters this week, and with this theatrical debut will finally come answers to a range of massive questions, from who Sadie Sink’s mysterious character really is to why and how Peter Parker’s DNA is mutating, and so much more. In addition to those reveals, many of which audiences […]
Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrived in theaters today, marking Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) first big-screen appearance since 2021’s genre-defining Spider-Man: No Way Home. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film picks up four years after that predecessor’s memory-erasing finale, with Peter now living as a solitary full-time hero while MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) […]
Spider-Man: Brand New Day ends with a promise: a new life for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, as well as Spider-Man. Four years ago, Spider-Man chose to erase all memory of his life as Peter Parker from the world. To be fair, he was facing a literal end-of-the-world scenario if he didn’t. But, still grieving the […]
After cementing itself as the dominant movie franchise of the 2010s, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has experienced its fair share of ups and downs during the 2020s. Over the past handful of years, there have been multiple Marvel movies that disappointed at the box office — a development that would have seemed incomprehensible 10 years […]
The Marvel Cinematic Universe is known for its expansive roster of heroes and villains, but it sometimes blurs the lines between the two.

After more than a decade, it feels like it’s finally time for the MCU to move on to its next big thing, which seems like it will be mutants. Marvel Studios can now use the X-Men, and the franchise is already setting the stage for their arrival. Jean Grey, played by Sadie Sink, made her […]
There are plenty of things that Spider-Man movies have done right, from action scenes to comedic bits to great casting, yet the one aspect that is often the best is how they hit on an emotional level. That was the case with Spider-Man: No Way Home, which was filled with emotional moments. The return of […]
The journey of the MCU’s Peter Parker to this point has been quite different from what we’re used to. They’ve done things like forgoing the origin story seen several times over and not giving us a Spider-Man story where he isn’t helped in a major way by members of the Avengers until Spider-Man: Brand New […]
No franchise has ever dominated the box office quite like the Marvel Cinematic Universe did in the 2010s. From 2010 to 2019, the superhero films collectively grossed over $18 billion worldwide. Much of that came from the four Avengers movies, which saw Marvel’s biggest heroes come together for massive crossover events. But since the release […]
