The last time we saw Spider-Man in the MCU<\/a>, the entire universe shifted. 2021\u2019s world-conquering No Way Home<\/a> not only broke down the walls of the Spider-Verse<\/a>, but ended with a seismic shift in Peter Parker\u2019s existence: by which we mean, the entire world forgot about it, courtesy of some Doctor Strange magic. So, the return of the wall-crawling hero marks the start of a new era, kick-starting a new phase of Spidey\u2019s lifecycle as a fully-functioning Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, living anonymously in New York City \u2013 with some surprising evolutions on the way. Get ready for the dawn of a Brand New Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s issue of Empire takes a world-exclusive deep dive into Spider-Man: Brand New Day, getting the first word from the web-slinger himself \u2013 Tom Holland \u2013 and co-stars Zendaya and Jon Bernthal, as well as Marvel boss Kevin Feige, producer Amy Pascal, and incoming director Destin Daniel Cretton. Inside, we explore how Brand New Day finally brings vintage-comics Spider-Man to the screen, dig into the emotional stakes as Peter\u2019s closest allies no longer remember him, discover how the Punisher meshes with New York\u2019s friendliest superhero, and unpack the mysteries of the film\u2019s spider-mutation story. And it\u2019s packed with never-before-seen images, offering your best look yet at Spidey\u2019s action-packed comeback.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s newsstand cover sees Spider-Man \u2013 and nefarious ninjas The Hand \u2013 soaring through the New York skyline.<\/p>\n
