Spider-Man: Brand New Day script pages revealed by Marvel

Marvel has recently taken a notable step by releasing the first three pages of the script for Spider-Man: Brand New Day . This reveal gives us a look at the film’s opening, which includes several elements already shown in the movie’s previously released trailer, which drew a record number of viewers.

Script contents

The script opens with the iconic Marvel Studios logo, showing a number of memories that Peter Parker no longer shares with his friends Ned, MJ, and Aunt May. This situation is the result of the events at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home , where Peter’s memory of their existence was erased. The film promises a unique take on Peter Parker, who is now, for the first time, completely alone.

The first pages also include handwritten notes from director Destin Daniel Cretton, indicating that Peter Parker has vanished from existence, similar to Marty McFly in Back to the Future . Tom Holland’s Peter Parker reads aloud a letter he wrote to MJ, setting up an emotional opening.

The opening minutes

During the opening minutes, we hear Peter reading a letter while he is still in his small apartment. This takes place nine months after the events of No Way Home , even though we know most of Brand New Day is set four years later. Peter experiences a headache during these moments, which may be an early sign that living in the shadows is taking its toll.

This headache seems to point to a change in Peter’s life, with possible hints at what may happen much later in the film, which is also shown in the trailer. The cameo of EV, a new AI Peter has created, adds an interesting element to the story, although the technology now has to be built with his own resources, without Stark’s support.

Key themes

Themes of loneliness and responsibility come through strongly in the letter Peter writes to MJ, as he reflects on his situation and his duty as Spider-Man. He wonders whether he will ever be able to share these feelings with MJ again. This eventually leads him to a police report, where he springs into action.

These first pages end with the words “BEGIN MONTAGE,” suggesting that the following scenes will be a montage of Peter taking on smaller villains from the film, such as Boomerang and Tarantula, as time moves forward.

With release approaching, there is still plenty of uncertainty around the film’s main villains, including a mysterious ninja monastery clan known as The Hand, Bruce Banner’s role as he appears to become the Savage Hulk, and the addition of Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher. Details surrounding Sadie Sink’s role also remain unclear.

Spider-Man’s future continues to bring unexpected twists and exciting developments, and Marvel’s world grows more complex with every new detail.
