Leaked footage from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been circulating on social media. The leaked footage from Spider-Man: Brand New Day shows Tom Holland performing a swinging scene with practical effects. Director Destin Daniel Cretton seems to want to give a fresh twist to this very famous character.
The decision to rely on practical effects feels in line with Cretton’s directing style. Cretton previously created impressive action scenes in the film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The film received widespread acclaim thanks to its use of practical sets, which made each scene feel more intense and realistic.
Leaked Video of Spider-Man: Brand New Day Uses Practical Effects
The video shows Spider-Man flying high in the air as part of a scene involving a chase with an armored vehicle, as seen in previous set photos.
For movie lovers, this moment is quite interesting because the use of practical effects is rarely seen in any Spider-Man movie in the MCU. Since its first appearance, the scene of swinging using a web has become a main feature in every Spider-Man movie, whether it be the Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, or Tom Holland versions.
However, many fans feel that the aerial swing scenes in Holland’s previous films were not entirely satisfying. The presence of this practical effects technology gives hope that Brand New Day will offer a different and more realistic experience.
The Director’s Bold Decision
Based on the footage that has been circulating, this practical stunt looks quite promising. With the addition of CGI effects in post-production, Brand New Day will likely feature the best web-swinging scenes in the history of Spider-Man in the MCU.
Many fans directly associate this choice with the web-swinging moment in The Amazing Spider-Man, which was praised for featuring one of the most captivating swinging scenes in the live-action Spider-Man series.
Interestingly, Jon Watts, the director of the first three Spider-Man films in the MCU, previously commented to Collider that using practical effects for swinging would not look satisfying.
He even suggested that the next director should not waste time trying this method. However, Cretton’s decision to choose this approach shows his courage in presenting something different.
