an interview with Variety<\/a>, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige analyzed why Spider-Man: Brand New Day has done so well after a string of tepid releases.<\/p>\n\u201cMany things can be true at once,\u201d he argued. \u201cI think last year\u2019s Fantastic Four looked and sounded like nothing that had been done in a superhero movie before, and it only [grossed] $521 million. Brand New Day is very directly a part four. It picks up right after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and yet it tells a story that resonates. It\u2019s ultimately about loneliness and the dangers of staying in our apartments by ourselves, looking at our phones. That resonates across cultures and across the globe right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As it turns out, it seems that people around the world really love watching Peter Parker do stuff – specifically, Tom Holland\u2019s iteration of the character. As Popverse\u2019s resident Thunderbolts* defender, I understand that the rest of the moviegoing world may not have been keen on seeing a group of dysfunctional people suffering and bonding for two hours. So perhaps in this next era of the MCU, audience tastes can catch up?\u00a0<\/p>\n
