Tom Holland supported by his parents at Spider-Man premiere

Tom Holland’s parents were proudly in attendance as they joined the actor at the LA premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The actor is earning rave reviews for his return to the role as the Marvel hero, so it was no surprise his family were on the red carpet to celebrate the film’s release.

Tom’s father Dominic shared a snap of himself and the actor’s mum Nikki at the premiere in Los Angeles, which took place on Monday.

He captioned the post: ‘I saw #spiderman #brandnewday last night in LA with these two. I plan to post my full review by mid-August. Do check back #tomholland2013 #spidermanbrandnewday.’

Dominic is a comedian, author, and broadcaster and Nikki is a is a professional pH๏τographer.

Tom steps back into the iconic suit as Peter Parker for the latest instalment – which is already impressing fans – taking on the role once played by Tobey Maguire. 

Fans penned on X after wasting no time in heading to the cinema: ‘I’ve just returned from watching Brand New Day, it’s genuinely one of the best Spider Man movies ever, and if we’re talking about Tom’s, this one takes the crown alongside No Way Home. I also wanna add this, marvel is SO back.’;

‘Just came out of Spider-Man Brand New Day… I can’t lie I enjoyed it very much. I loved it. Spider-Man is still my GOAT superhero and Tom Holland has done a great job. Super excited for the future.’;

‘NO SPOILER My first immediate thoughts on Spider-Man Brand New Day This is by far the best live action spiderman best spiderman fights they had me feeling like i was watching montage from insomniac spiderman such a good movie tom holland is the goat.’;

‘Just saw Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This is the best one for Tom Holland’s Spidey Quadrilogy (imho) & I really like how well the emotion is handled in this.’;

‘Tomorrow is a Brand New Day. Man, it feels emotional. I’ve always loved Marvel, but there’s something diff about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. Watching Peter go from Infinity War and Endgame to losing almost everyone in No Way Home… that journey hits hard. It feels personal.’;

‘Brand new day isn’t the beginning, it’s the ending of the movie. Best spider man movie!

‘Just watched Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and yeah this is the best Spider-Man movie ever. I definitely need a rewatch asap.’

Zendaya and Tom famously met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.

Fast forward ten years, and the pair are now married and back on the promotional trail for their latest Spider-Man film.

The actor has earned rave reviews for his return to the Marvel film series, where he stars alongside his now-wife Zendaya

The new film follows the ending of No Way Home, in which a spell cast by Dr Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) caused everyone in the world to forget the existence of Spider-Man’s secret idenтιтy, Peter Parker (Holland).

Brand New Day picks up four years later, after Parker has largely given up on his connection to the world around him and has devoted himself entirely to fighting crime as Spider-Man, even as his former girlfriend MJ (Holland’s real-life wife, Zendaya, who stunned in a black arachnid-themed gown at the film’s premiere on Monday in Los Angeles) has moved on with a new love interest after forgetting that they were ever a couple.

Amid the turmoil in his life, Parker’s superpowers begin to undergo a sometimes disturbing evolution, which several critics compared approvingly to the direction taken by the original trilogy starring Tobey Maguire.

Critics have called it one of the best of the iconic superhero’s films – and a return to form for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

Critics had high praise for Brand New Day’s returning star, Tom, and they largely applauded the film’s move away from the confusing bloat of the previous entry in the series, Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The New York Post’s Johnny Oleksinski wrote that the current Spider-Man series is the only part of the greater MCU that he still looks forward to.

Oleksinski called Brand New Day a ‘welcome reunion’ with Holland and Peter Parker, though he noted that it was ‘much darker’ than previous Spider-Man entries.

He agreed with the comparisons to the Maguire years, writing: ‘Tonally, Brand New Day is a lot more like Tobey Maguire’s aughts films, which to my mind are not only the gold standard of Spider-Man movies, but Marvel films as well.’

Writing for RogerEbert.com, Brian Tallerico gave Brand New Day a middling 2.5 stars out of four.

Like others, he saw a negative influence from the MCU and worried that the film was only a transitional piece to set up a bigger payoff.

‘Affection for the characters who have been around for four movies now goes a long way to holding Brand New Day together,’ Tallerico wrote, ‘but it ultimately succumbs to one of the biggest problems of late-stage MCU: The feeling that it’s just preparation for more movies.’
