The new Spider-Man movie is coming to theaters next month, and they’re paying homage to some of the most iconic comic book covers in a very cool way. Spider-Man: Brand New Day — starring Tom Holland and Zendaya — releases on July 31, continuing the story of Peter Parker as he navigates a world that has forgotten him. Throughout the film, director Destin Daniel Cretton honored some of the best action shots that have graced comic book covers over the years.<\/p>\n
In a clip shared by the official Brand New Day account, Holland and Cretton went into detail on the behind-the-scenes of pulling off these shots. The whole process was a physical challenge for Holland.<\/p>\n
“We’re shooting at 420 frames per second, which is virtually impossible to act,” Cretton explained. “Tom [Holland] had to do this kind of perfect uppercut reverse swan dive where we’re yanking him up into the air towards the camera. It was a real awakening to how much control he has over every muscle in his body.”<\/p>\n
The results are incredible, and it’s a great Easter egg for comic book fans in the theater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 27, 2026, 12:25 p.m. ET The new Spider-Man movie is coming to theaters next month, and they’re…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":661947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[131449,96,2839,221935,221936,221937,203226,221850,132197,132195,131454,221939,221938,131452,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-661946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-accessfree","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-sourcefor-the-win","tag-sstsentertainmentpop-culture","tag-sstsnpop-culture","tag-tagaction-adventure-films","tag-tagcomics","tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","tag-tagmovie-reference","tag-tagoverall-positive","tag-tagspider-man","tag-tagtom-holland","tag-typestory","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=661946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/661946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/661947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=661946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=661946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=661946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
