The first reviews for Spider-Man: Brand New Day are finally in, and while the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s latest movie is said to be amazing, the film has now broken a negative record. Tom Holland last played Peter Parker in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. Given how that film also featured Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, Brand New Day has a lot to live up to.
The 2026 MCU movie will take cues from Spider-Man: No Way Home’s ending, as Zendaya’s MJ, Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, and the rest of the world forgot who Peter was due to Doctor Strange’s spell. Assisting or fighting Spider-Man across his journey will be some major additions to Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s cast, like Mark Ruffalo as the Hulk and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher.
Days before the MCU movie’s release, Marvel and Sony have not yet made it clear who Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s main villain is. That said, Michael Mando is back as Mac Gargan, now suited up as Scorpion, with Tombstone, the Hand, Tarantula, Boomerang, and more Marvel villains also set to appear. The movie also has to answer a massive mystery.
Leading up to Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s release, the movie’s biggest question has been related to the identity of who Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is playing. She is rumored to be Jean Grey, the first member of the MCU’s X-Men. Now, the first Spider-Man: Brand New Day reviews have touched on all of those aspects to varying degrees.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Is Out
Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Rotten Tomatoes score is out, and it stands at a stellar 88%, at the time of writing. That score is based on 100 reviews so far. That said, fans should expect it to change throughout the week, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a massive release that should be seeing many more reviews be added to the platform as it becomes available worldwide, and RT scores tend to fluctuate shortly after a movie or a show is released. That also comes with an average rating of 7.6 out of 10, also subject to change.
Right now, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has a total of 87 positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, with 13 of them being negative. One of the MCU movie’s positive scores comes from ScreenRant’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day review. According to critic Graeme Guttman, the film is Tom Holland’s best MCU Spider-Man movie to date. Guttman notes how the Marvel movie focuses on classic Spider-Man elements and makes the character really look inward to show the audience what Peter Parker is really going through now that he is all alone. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned the coveted Certified Fresh label on Rotten Tomatoes.
How Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Rotten Tomatoes Score Compares To Tom Holland’s First MCU Trilogy
