One of the biggest highlights of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is finally out this week, is Peter Parker’s (Tom Holland) web-slinging capabilities. Spidey is swinging ninjas and Hulks around like he entered a cheat code this time around, which makes sense now that Tom Holland himself revealed the Insomniac Spider-Man games have heavily influenced how his wall-crawling alter-ego fights in the new movie. The game series has also proved to be a nice bit of therapy during his globe-trotting stint promoting the film.
“I was actually playing the game last night,” Holland confessed to IGN while attending the premiere. “I couldn’t sleep last night; I was so excited about today. I was trying to figure out what I was gonna do, and I was like, ‘I’ll just throw the game on and have some fun.’”
