What is Spider-Man: Brand New Day About?

Picking up four years after the universe-altering events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Brand New Day finds Peter Parker (Tom Holland) living in complete anonymity in New York City after Doctor Strange’s memory-erasing spell. Isolated and carrying the weight of his sacrifices alone, Peter has thrown his entire life into being a full-time, neighborhood-level hero.

However, his solitary existence is disrupted when his spider-DNA begins undergoing a volatile, overwhelming evolution that amps up his powers beyond his control. As he struggles with his transforming abilities, Peter faces a mysterious mind-controlling threat—a telepath named Jean Grey (Sadie Sink) who is on a desperate quest to rescue her sister from the Department of Damage Control (DODC).
