Tom Holland Says Spider-Man: Brand New Day Features Moves Inspired by Marvel’s Spider-Man
Fans of Marvel’s Spider-Man may notice some familiar action sequences when watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
During a recent press event, Tom Holland revealed that several combat animations in the new Spider-Man film were directly inspired by Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Spider-Man series, acknowledging the influence the acclaimed PlayStation games have had on bringing the web-slinger to life on the big screen.
Finishing Moves Taken from the Games
Speaking with IGN during the movie’s media premiere, Holland shared that the development team looked at Marvel’s Spider-Man when designing parts of the film’s action choreography.
According to the actor, several stylish finishing moves seen in the movie were inspired by those featured in the game series. Holland also mentioned that he has been playing the games again in recent days, though he stopped short of revealing exactly which moves made their way into the film.
One of the Best Spider-Man Game Adaptations
Since its debut, Marvel’s Spider-Man by Insomniac Games has been widely praised as one of the greatest superhero games ever created.
The franchise features an expansive recreation of New York City, fluid web-swinging mechanics, cinematic storytelling, and dynamic combat that has continued to evolve across three titles:
- Marvel’s Spider-Man Remastered
- Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
Its stylish combat system, especially its cinematic finishers, has become one of the series’ defining features, making it a natural source of inspiration for Spider-Man’s latest cinematic adventure.
Spider-Man Begins a New Chapter
Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows Peter Parker, once again portrayed by Tom Holland, as he begins a new chapter in his life after the events that erased the world’s memory of his identity.
While continuing his responsibilities as Spider-Man, Peter must also navigate a world where no one remembers who he is, setting the stage for fresh challenges and new enemies.
For longtime fans of both the films and the games, Brand New Day promises to blend cinematic storytelling with action sequences inspired by one of gaming’s most beloved superhero franchises.
