Peter Parker is set to swing back into action in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, with Peter Parker living in a world where no one remembers who he is. As Tom Holland has hinted, the movie will focus on his character during one of the darkest and most challenging times of his life as he struggles with loneliness and faces new opponents and obstacles unlike anything he has experienced before. 

With just a few days left for the release of the movie, both new and longtime fans have plenty to revisit before heading to theaters. While some show Peter Parker's biggest battles, others feature crucial moments involving Spider-Man’s formidable enemies, allies, and other characters, and even the timeline of the new movie. So, here is everything one needs to catch up on before watching Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth film in Tom Holland's Spider-Man franchise and is a crucial turning point for Peter Parker. The movie almost feels like a reset, as Peter undergoes major changes following the events of No Way Home. That is why it is important to watch Spider-Man: Captain America: Civil War, where Holland appears as Spider-Man for the first time. In the movie, teenage Peter Parker is recruited by Tony Stark to join Team Iron Man in the battle in Germany. 

The film not only introduces Holland's Peter Parker to audiences but also establishes his mentor-mentee relationship with Tony Stark. This relationship remains crucial for the character throughout the MCU. It is available to watch on Hulu.

This is the first standalone movie for Tom Holland’s teen Peter Parker and the beginning where he attempts to balance his schoolwork alongside his superhero duties. One of the most important actors in the fourth Spider-Man movie, Michael Mando, also appears in this movie as Mac Gargan in the mid-credits scene. 

Gargan will be taking in on a new identity which is of Scorpio in the latest movie. The movie is available to watch on Disney+.

Although the movie is not directly connected to the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it shows an important chapter in Peter Parker's journey. It shows him officially becoming an Avenger as he joins Tony Stark and the rest in the fight against Thanos. It is available to watch on Disney+ or can be rented on Amazon Prime.

Avengers: Endgame is yet another crucial chapter in Tom Holland's Peter Parker's journey. Although Peter returns to fight in the film's battle, he also suffers one of the greatest losses of his life when Tony Stark sacrifices himself. As Peter's mentor and father figure, Tony's death had a major impact on him. This is available to watch on Disney+ or can be rented on Amazon Prime.

Spider-Man: Far From Home is the second film in Tom Holland's Spider-Man franchise and an essential watch before Brand New Day. It is not just important as Peter Parker's next adventure but also sets up a major turning point in his story. By the end of the film, Peter's secret identity as Spider-Man is exposed to the world, and he is falsely framed for a devastating crime.

These events have a massive impact and affect Peter's journey in the films that follow. It is available to watch on Disney+.

Among all the MCU films, this is the most important one to watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In the film, Tom Holland's Peter Parker makes the heartbreaking decision to ask Doctor Strange to cast a spell that makes the world forget he is Spider-Man. By the end of the movie, Peter has to start his life over from scratch. He keeps his identity a secret even from MJ and Ned, and moves into a modest apartment in New York City.

Four years later, Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up this story. The film revisits Peter's new life while bringing back several characters from the previous Spider-Man movies alongside a number of new faces from across the MCU. The movie is available to watch on Disney+.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day shifts its focus from cosmic threats to the MCU's street-level world. That makes it important to get familiar with the characters and conflicts introduced in MCU’ Street level world, and for that, one must watch Netflix's Daredevil. One can watch all three seasons of Daredevil to understand Matt Murdock's journey and the show's major players. 

However, fans can also focus only on Season 2, which introduces Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, as well as the ninja organization known as The Hand. Both of them appear to play crucial roles in Brand New Day, as seen in the trailers. 

The Defenders shares more information about the ninja organisation, the Hand, and its role in the Marvel universe. The show focuses on Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist against the Hand. It is available to watch on Disney+.

The Punisher is not directly connected to Peter Parker's story. However, it provides essential background on Frank Castle before his MCU crossover in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Across its two seasons, the series follows Frank as he seeks justice for the murder of his family and fully embraces his identity as the ruthless vigilante known as the Punisher.

It is available to watch on Disney+.

Daredevil: Born Again brings Matt Murdock, the Punisher, and Wilson Fisk fully into the modern MCU. The series follows Fisk's rise to power as the mayor of New York City and his aggressive campaign against masked vigilantes. This is an essential watch to understand the timeline of events that will take place in Brand New Day. It is available to watch on Hulu and Disney+.

The Punisher: One Last Kill is the final and perhaps most important watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The show picks up directly after the events of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, following Frank Castle as he goes on one last mission. It also leaves the Punisher exactly where fans will find him when he crosses paths with Peter Parker in Brand New Day. It is available to watch on Disney+.
