Fans welcome Tom Holland with quirky Spider-Man hoardings

Tom Holland is all set to return as the friendly neighbourhood superhero in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

To make his visit even more memorable, Spider-Man fans have put up massive and quirky hoardings across different parts of Mumbai. Packed with humour and pop culture references, the posters are a fun tribute to both the actor and his iconic superhero. One hoarding reads, “Spider-Man, Naam Toh Suna Hoga,” a playful twist on Shah Rukh Khan's famous dialogue, while another cheekily says, “Sorry Tom, the mask suits you better.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in Indian theatres this month

Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks Tom Holland's return to one of his most loved roles after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The story follows Peter Parker as he tries to balance life while continuing his journey as Spider-Man in a world that no longer remembers who he is.

The official synopsis says: “It's a brand new day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves—a powerful villain no one can even see.”
