If you are a fan of Marvel, you must have been emotional after the story of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The memories of Peter Parker are removed from everyone he loves, and he is left with the consequences of a choice that saved the world but cost him his personal life.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day follows the events in which Peter’s memories were erased, with no reset button waiting for him.
With the film bringing back familiar MCU connections while introducing new characters, this is a good time for a quick rewatch. But you don't need to revisit the entire MCU. These five movies cover the most important parts of Peter’s journey before Brand New Day arrives.

5 MCU Movies To Watch Before Spider-Man: Brand New Day
1. Spider-Man: Homecoming
Spider-Man: Homecoming is the perfect starting point if you want to know how Holland's Peter became the MCU’s beloved Spider-Man.
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter is the new superhero of the town. He establishes a relationship with Tony Stark while having a tendency to overachieve. In this movie, Peter is the rookie superhero who is desperate to prove himself and still learning the weight of the responsibility upon him.
Why watch before Brand New Day: It gives you the foundation for Holland’s Peter and the emotional choices that have shaped him.
Perfect if you loved: Peter’s smaller-scale, neighbourhood Spider-Man stories.
2. Spider-Man: Far From Home
If Spider-Man: Homecoming introduces Peter as a new superhero, Spider-Man: Far From Home is about when the weight of being a powerful Avenger in the MCU starts to catch up.
The movie deals heavily with Peter's grief following Tony Stark’s death and his uncertainty about stepping into a larger role. It also ends with one of the biggest turning points in his story: his secret identity being exposed to the world.
Why watch before Brand New Day: It fills in the emotional baggage Peter carries into the post-No Way Home era.
Perfect if you loved: Peter's new era of superhero establishing his ground.

3. Spider-Man: No Way Home
This one isn't skippable.
The ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home is the direct bridge to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Peter asks Doctor Strange to cast a spell that makes the entire world forget that Peter Parker ever existed. Everyone he loves moves on without remembering him, leaving Peter to rebuild his life alone.
Sony's official material for Brand New Day confirms that the new film takes place four years after those events.
Why watch before Brand New Day: It explains the central premise of Peter's new life and why the character begins the new film in such an isolated position.
Perfect if you loved: The more emotional, consequence-driven side of Spider-Man.
4. Captain America: Civil War
You must watch Captain America: Civil War before Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives on OTT to understand the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Before Peter had his own MCU movie, he made his entrance in Captain America: Civil War.
The film introduces Holland's Peter as a young superhero recruited by Tony Stark for the Avengers' internal conflict. That first meeting is important because it establishes Peter's early connection to Stark and the larger superhero community.
Why watch before Brand New Day: It completes the picture of where this version of Peter came from and how dramatically his circumstances have changed since his MCU debut.
Perfect if you loved: MCU'S crazy sci-fi thriller universe about superheroes saving the world from enemies.
5. Thunderbolt
This is the slightly less obvious pick, but it earns its place because Yelena Belova is part of Brand New Day.
Thunderbolts brings Florence Pugh’s Yelena together with Bucky Barnes, John Walker, Ghost, Red Guardian and Taskmaster. It also establishes where Yelena sits within the MCU after the events of Black Widow and Hawkeye.
Why watch before Brand New Day: It makes Yelena's appearance more meaningful rather than treating her as a completely new face.
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day arriving digitally on October 6, there’s still time for a quick MCU rewatch before Peter Parker’s next chapter. These five films should cover the key moments without turning it into an MCU marathon.
