Full spoilers ahead for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Will and Tony finally get the chance to go deep on Brand New Day—the story, surprises and character choices that may make it the most authentically comic-book Spider-Man movie ever brought to live action.

They discuss why this finally feels like an established, street-level Spider-Man; how the movie understands Peter Parker’s intelligence, humor and loneliness; and why Peter’s decision to isolate himself becomes the emotional center of the story.

The conversation also covers:
- Jean Grey’s true role in the story
- The devastating MJ reveal
- Punisher’s complicated friendship with Peter
- Spider-Man’s battle with Hulk
- Ned’s Spider-Tracker and whether Peter’s friends are beginning to remember him
- The movie’s mental-health message
- Peter building his own technology and AI
- The disappointing—but potentially important—post-credit scene
- How Brand New Day may establish the MCU’s X-Men conflict
- What the ending could mean for Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars
- Why Vision Quest suddenly looks much more promising

This is the full spoiler conversation Will has been waiting weeks to have. If you’ve seen Brand New Day and need to talk through everything that happened, welcome to the huddle.
