Your friendly neighbor Spider-Man… is going through some hard times. 

In "Spider-Man Brand New Day," Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is adapting to life in complete isolation in New York City. As you may or may not recall (based on the events of the film's 2021 predecessor "No Way Home"), Peter had everyone's memories erased after his identity had been exposed to the world, putting those he loved the most in danger. 

After having lost his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), Peter vowed he wouldn't let what happened to her happen to the love of his life, MJ (Zendaya), nor his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon). So their memories of him are gone and his only connection to them is him stalking Ned's Instagram videos showing him and MJ living their best lives as students at MIT, something they talked about doing in high school.
