Destin Daniel Cretton on the loneliness of Spider-Man

<p dir="ltr">Destin Daniel Cretton knew he had a tough act to follow as director of this summer&rsquo;s blockbuster 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' In 2021, the Spider-Man cinematic universe went big with 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' reuniting past Spideys with Tom Holland&rsquo;s webslinger. Instead of trying to top that, Cretton went smaller in 'Brand New Day,' telling a story about Peter Parker&rsquo;s loneliness and attempts to re-connect with people who don&rsquo;t remember him. Cretton&rsquo;s instinct paid off and the film has earned more than $2 billion at the box office.</p>

<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong>Cretton shares why he feels connected to the character of Peter Parker, he dives into the importance of family, both biological and found, and he explains why he wasn&rsquo;t sure whether the emotional climactic scene of the film would work.</p>
