Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth solo outing for Holland's web-slinger and picks up after the reality-altering events of 2021's No Way Home, with Peter Parker now living anonymously in a New York that has forgotten the man behind the mask.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously directed MCU flick Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, takes over from Jon Watts – and there are some high profile new additions to the cast as well.
Chief among those fresh faces is Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, whose official role in the film has been kept firmly under wraps by Marvel (not withstanding a leak here and there...)
Read on for a guide to the actors appearing in the film and the characters they play.
