\n\tOne of the stars of Sony Pictures Entertainment<\/a>\u2018s latest entry in its \u201cSpider-Man\u201d franchise has little spoken dialogue, but may end up stealing a few scenes.<\/p>\n

\n\tSamsung<\/a>\u2018s Galaxy phones are used by character Ned Leeds (played by Jacob Batalon) to track the whereabouts of the film\u2019s titular hero. Moviegoers will see Spider-Man himself use a Galaxy Z Flip and also watch Leeds make use of a Galaxy Z Fold and a Galaxy Watch.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIncorporating Galaxy technology into such a beloved Spider-Man storytelling world gives us a chance to showcase how even your friendly neighborhood hero relies only on Samsung Galaxy<\/a>,\u201d said Keena Grigsby, chief marketing officer and vice president of mobile experience at Samsung Electronics America, in a statement. \u201cThis is the perfect opportunity to double down on our belief that Galaxy devices are designed to help everyone stay connected \u2014 whether you\u2019re taking photos with friends, keeping up with loved ones, or saving New York.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHollywood will be looking at \u201cBrand New Day\u201d to see if it can match the box-office power of its predecessor, \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home.\u201d That film made Sony\u2019s Spider-Man films more a part of Disney\u2019s Marvel universe, and resulted in one of the bigger movies of 2021. \u201cBrand New Day\u201d is expected to hit theaters on July 31.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn some ways, the \u201cBrand New Day\u201d story starts on Wednesday. That\u2019s when Samsung will launch a real-time interactive experience tied to a \u201cSpidey Tracker\u201d that Leeds develops with Galaxy phones. A custom web site designed for fans features cast appearances and interviews along with \u201cEaster eggs,\u201d content drops and other surprises. Fans can monitor the site for Spider-Man sightings and connect to a shared community experience at SpideyTracker.com and on X @SpideyTracker.<\/p>\n

\n\tFans can watch to see where Spider-Man might pop up at live events and venues, in popular creator videos, and perhaps at a Samsung Experience Store. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpider-Man has always been a hero defined by his connection to his community,\u201d said said Jeffrey Godsick, executive vice president, global partnerships, at Sony Pictures Entertainment, in a statement. \u201cTeaming up with Samsung helped bring that spirit to life both on screen and beyond, integrating the technology people use every day into Spider-Man\u2019s world while also bringing innovative and fun new ways for fans to engage through the Spidey Tracker.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One of the stars of Sony Pictures Entertainment\u2018s latest entry in its \u201cSpider-Man\u201d franchise has little spoken dialogue,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502655,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[93,61,60,270,573,23116,50263,32950],"class_list":["post-502654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-samsung","tag-samsung-galaxy","tag-sony-pictures-entertainment","tag-spider-man"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502654","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502654"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502654\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502655"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
