“The movie kind of serves as this cautionary tale about living a life alone, the importance of community, and how sometimes the bravest thing to do in life is to ask for help.”
CNA↗
“There were a lot. There was a whole scene that ended up getting cut from the film, where we were going to throw a whole bunch of villains into this one giant fight scene.”
Ars Technica↗
“It’s a Brand New Day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control.”
Gizmodo↗
“Most interestingly is the idea that the film’s likely villain, played by Sadie Sink, can potentially appear as other people.”
