At the annual CinemaCon conference, Sony Pictures unveiled new footage from the upcoming 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' movie, which star Tom Holland described as the 'most emotional' and 'most grown-up' Spider-Man film yet. The film will explore the aftermath of Peter Parker's decision at the end of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' to make his friends forget his identity as Spider-Man.

Why it matters

The new 'Spider-Man' movie is one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer, coming five years after the blockbuster success of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.' Fans are eager to see how the story will evolve and how Peter Parker will deal with the consequences of his actions in the previous film.

The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously helmed Marvel's 'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings'.
