Filming Begins: Day One BTS Footage Goes Live
Sony Pictures just released a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the first day of filming Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Glasgow, Scotland. In it, Tom Holland suits up in his new costume, shares that the experience “feels different this time,” and even interacts with fans on set—high-fiving, posing for photos, and lifting a young fan into the air.
Practical Effects Take Center Stage
In a creative pivot, director Destin Daniel Cretton is embracing practical stunts for the film—despite advice from prior Spider-Man director Jon Watts, who deemed real swinging “looks dumb.” This installment promises more grounded visuals in a street-level superhero saga.
Suit Design & Character Focus
The new suit makes a bold statement with enhanced comic-inspired features: a larger black spider emblem, raised webbing, and rich, reflective hues. The film reboots Spidey’s aesthetic, stepping away from the tech-heavy designs rooted in the Stark era.
