Spider-Man: Brand New Day is for Animated Series fans who remember Man-Spider

Our first look at Marvel‘s next Spider-Man movie led with a huge nod to comic book fans. In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, director Destin Daniel Cretton recreates the classic Amazing Fantasy #15 cover art that introduced the world to Spider-Man in 1962. But Cretton isn’t just pulling at the heartstrings of the Silver Age of comics fans. His Spider-Man is also nostalgia bait for devotees of mid-’90s cartoon Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
