The first social media reactions to Spider-Man: Brand New Day are finally here, and they are generating strong excitement among Marvel fans.
Critics and premiere attendees have started sharing their initial impressions online, with many describing the film as an emotional, action-packed return for Peter Parker. Tom Holland's performance has emerged as one of the biggest highlights, with several viewers calling it one of his strongest portrayals of the beloved superhero.
Fans have appreciated the film's balance of heartfelt moments, humour, and high-stakes superhero action, while several reactions also applauded the emotional storytelling.
Some early viewers described the film as a fresh chapter for Spider-Man that successfully moves the character forward without losing the charm that made audiences fall in love with him. Others highlighted the action sequences, visual effects and the film's emotional depth as major strengths.
Fans Excited About New Characters
Apart from Holland's performance, fans have also reacted positively to the introduction of new characters. The additions of Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo have sparked excitement, with many praising their screen presence Ruffalo's portrayal of Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk, has particularly caught the attention of Marvel fans, as it marks the character's first appearance in a standalone Spider-Man film.
A Fresh Chapter For Peter Parker
Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues Peter Parker's journey after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Doctor Strange's spell erased Peter's identity from everyone's memory. Early reactions suggest the film explores Peter's emotional struggles while introducing a new threat that forces him back into action.
Here are some of the reactons:

#SpiderMan Brand New Day is the most authentic and spectacular Spider-Man yet in the MCU. Easily the best characterization of Peter yet. A fantastic breath of fresh air for the character. Cretton MUST return and stick around Marvel Studios.

It's a massive movie that balances like 5 different through lines in equal measure, each better than the last. It can feel a little overwhelming but it all comes together so beautifully it works. pic.twitter.com/5dHvcF58Sk
SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY has some of the best visuals and characterization its title character has gotten onscreen.
— James Preston Poole (@JamesPPoole) July 28, 2026
Yet its notable shine is dulled by an overstuffed script that puts MCU interconnectivity and cameos over its title character.

#SpidermanBrandNewDay is fantastic, no notes. Top tier action! Love how deep the story goes into the consequences of Peter's choice (from NWH) and how it affects his life as Peter and as Spider-Man. Definitely some tearjerker moment in there. Felt like a mini Avengers film. pic.twitter.com/aRXpXbfDPW
