Despite being his fourth Spider-Man movie in the MCU, Tom Holland says Brand New Day is a "rebirth" for his wallcrawler.

Speaking to Complex, Holland – who is currently filming the new Spider-Man movie, with a pause due to a recent on-set injury – opened up about how the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed Brand New Day feels like a fresh start. Or a brand new day, if you will.

"We're making the first movie in the next chapter… This is Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This is a rebirth. This is something completely new."

Although Spider-Man: Brand New Day is clearly forward-facing, there's still plenty of time to pay tribute to what has come before – most notably the nods to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man suit designs on Tom Holland's new Spider-Man suit.

"I really like the idea that… he looks up to them and he sees little details on their suits that he thinks are really cool, and now he is making his own suit and isn't part of the bigger team."
