Tom Holland Says SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Was the Most Creatively Fulfilling Experience of His Career
While Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday has been lighting up the internet, fans haven’t forgotten the fact that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is swinging into theaters this summer.
The film marks a fresh chapter for Peter Parker, and if Tom Holland is to be believed, it also marks a personal high point for him as an actor.
A heartfelt letter Holland wrote to the cast and crew has recently made the rounds online following the end of production. The note wasn’t meant as marketing or hype building. It was simply Holland saying thanks.
What stood out was just how meaningful the experience clearly was for him. In the message, he didn’t hold back, calling the film “the most creatively fulfilling filming experience I’ve ever had.”
Here’s the full note exactly as Holland wrote it:
“Firstly, I’m so sad this is coming to an end. It’s been tough and hard work, but working with you all every day has been such a joy. Thank you for making this the most creatively fulfilling filming experience I’ve ever had.
“Your hard work, dedication, talent, and kindness has been an absolute pleasure to be a part of and I can’t thank you enough. I’ve loved laughing with you all and I hope we do this many times over.
“This movie wouldn’t be a fraction of what it will be without you. So thank you from the bottom of my heart and I’ll see you next time.”
Coming from an actor who’s already led multiple MCU blockbusters, that kind of praise carries some weight. Holland has been at the center of massive productions before, from the Infinity Saga to this year’s The Odyssey, so for Brand New Day to stand out says a lot. Sure, actors are always supportive of upcoming projects, but this feels like genuine appreciation.
Part of that excitement likely comes from what Brand New Day is aiming to be. After years of multiverse-breaking stakes, the new film pulls Spider-Man back to the streets of New York City.
The story leans into a more grounded, neighborhood-scale adventure that feels closer to classic Spidey comics. That shift alone makes this movie feel different from most of Holland’s previous MCU outings.
It doesn’t hurt that the supporting cast adds some serious intrigue. The film features Mark Ruffalo returning as the Hulk, Jon Bernthal back as the Punisher, and Sadie Sink stepping into a mystery role that Marvel is still keeping tightly under wraps.
Naturally, fans are excited to see some actual footage. As of now, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still about six months away, which means Marvel and Sony have time to pace their marketing. Big studios like a long runway, but they also know how to make noise fast.
One possible moment for a teaser is the Super Bowl on February 8th, though there’s chatter that Marvel may want to focus that spotlight on Doomsday instead.
Sony has played this game before and played it well. It’s easy to forget that the first trailer for Spider-Man: No Way Home didn’t drop until just four months before release. They could absolutely follow that same approach again without missing a beat.
For now, Holland’s letter is simply a reminder of how much this role still means to him. If the lead actor walks away calling the experience his most creatively fulfilling yet, that’s a pretty strong sign that he’s extremely happy with how the movie turned out.
