In No Way Home, Peter Parker narrowly dodges a multiversal catastrophe when a spell from Doctor Strange goes wrong. Peter finds himself battling Spider-Man villains from other universes, culminating in the tragic death of his beloved Aunt May. The scene where Peter tearfully watches the life leave his aunt’s eyes is some of Holland’s best acting as Parker, and one of No Way Home‘s most memorable scenes. It’s only through the help of other Spider-Man variants — Peter 2 (Tobey Maguire) and Peter 3 (Andrew Garfield) — that Holland’s Peter defeats the villains and fixes the rift by sacrificing his identity, thus fully embodying Spider-Man’s mantra of great power coming with great responsibility.
On location in Surrey, England, the leaked set photos show Peter bringing flowers to his Aunt May’s grave. Photos of May’s gravestone confirm who Peter’s visiting, and it seems the scene is set during the winter, as Holland is bundled up and there’s fake snow around. No Way Home concluded during the same season, perhaps suggesting that even though Brand New Day will release four and a half years later, the fourth Spider-Man film will pick up right where we left Peter previously. This is also supported by the fact that Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s release date wasn’t impacted by the Avengers movies being delayed, also hinting at a standalone, street-level story for Spidey in Brand New Day.
