Like plenty of superhero movies before it, Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> has plenty of references to its source material. The first trailer has shots of Spidey in action that look like comic book splash pages, and mimic different comic covers. Several of the covers referenced are where specific characters debuted\u2014including Amazing Fantasy #15<\/a>,\u00a0the first issue to feature Spider-Man himself.<\/p>\n

In a new featurette, Tom Holland and director Destin Daniel Cretton discussed the process that went into recreating these covers. He revealed the scenes were filmed at 420 frames per second, which is \u201cimpossible\u201d to act in, but perfect for an attention grabbing shot or two. With Holland wired up, it only took the actor \u201ctwo or three takes\u201d to nail pose, which was a real eye-opening moment for Cretton. To mimic the cover of Scorpion uppercutting Spidey, Holland had to \u201creverse swan dive [while] we\u2019re yanking him up into the air towards the camera. It was a real awakening to how much control Tom has over every muscle in his body.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s previously talked about<\/a> working with Cretton to make Brand New Day\u00a0its best self and with genuine intent. Recreating these covers was \u201ca lot of fun\u201d for him, and reflects what makes this feel like a different thing<\/a>\u00a0than the Home\u00a0trilogy. It\u2019s clear Holland and Cretton are proud of these scenes, which have won over fans hoping for the best live-action Spider-Man movie in years. There\u2019s probably more comic recreations in Spider-Man: Brand New Day\u00a0that are under webs\u2014and we\u2019ll have to wait until July 31 to see them all.<\/p>\n
