Lil Wayne Finally Issues Apology After Ghosting Fans
Lil Wayne has finally addressed the controversy surrounding his missed performance after leaving thousands of concertgoers waiting without an explanation.
Fans were disappointed when the rapper didn’t appear at a much-anticipated performance, prompting many questions after the show. In his absence, rumors started to circulate regarding the incident.
Lil Wayne is now attempting to clear the air after publicly apologizing to disappointed fans. At the same time, fresh reports continue to shed light on what happened before and after the canceled appearance.

Lil Wayne broke his silence by apologizing directly to fans in Maine after failing to appear at his scheduled concert. In a message shared on his Instagram Story, the rapper told fans he was “so sorry” and confirmed that the performance had been rescheduled for July 28.
He advised ticket holders not to lose their tickets, as they will be valid for the new date. Lil Wayne also stated that more info would be sent directly to attendees via email as organizers ironed out the new plans.
The rapper concluded by expressing gratitude to the fans for their patience and assuring them that they would receive the justice they deserved. “I ain’t sh-t without you,” he wrote, adding that he looks forward to coming back to give Maine fans “the show you deserve.”
Fans Lashed Out After The No-Show

Lil Wayne was supposed to do the headliner act at the Bangor Waterfront, but fans were surprised at the rapper’s absence. The rapper was supposed to follow 2 Chainz on the night, but instead the fans were told the show had been canceled after waiting much longer than the start time, as reported by The Blast.
Some of the attendees resorted to social media to vent their frustration over the organizers’ failure to let them know that the performance would not take place.
While some said the DJ was still hyping up Wayne’s arrival at the venue, others said the rapper didn’t make it to Maine and had even skipped rehearsals before the event.
A number of fans called the incident “unprofessional and disrespectful” and said the concert should have been canceled earlier on. This quickly made the rounds on the internet, and many asked, “Has the rapper let his fans down yet again?”
Lil Wayne Has A History Of Missed Shows

The latest cancellation also reignited discussion about Lil Wayne’s past concert no-shows. It was also noted that the rapper previously postponed a Toronto performance in 2025 due to illness and walked off stage during a Los Angeles show after becoming frustrated with the crowd.
Wayne had a history of missing events longer than that. Over the years, fans had been reminded of several canceled shows in Minneapolis, including one in the past due to security fears, and another that was said to have been axed because of mechanical problems with his plane.
While Wayne has apologized after a few earlier cancellations, many concert-going fans have expressed that the repeated interruptions have undermined respect for the rapper, making the Maine incident even more difficult to swallow.
White Party Sighting Deepens The Rapper’s Backlash

Fans were further outraged after TMZ reported that the rapper went to Michael Rubin’s annual White Party in the Hamptons just hours after they learned he hadn’t made it to his planned appearance in Maine. Wayne was part of the cast of celebrities that graced the lineup, which included DJ Khaled, Kevin Durant, Jake Paul, and Alicia Keys.
Although it was noted there is no confirmation that the exclusive gathering was the reason behind the canceled concert, the timing sparked fresh criticism online. Many fans questioned how Wayne could skip a scheduled show without explanation, only to be seen celebrating at one of the summer’s biggest celebrity parties.
The report also pointed out that the missed Maine concert was not an isolated incident. With previous no-shows in Toronto, California, and Los Angeles still fresh in fans’ minds, many are now hoping Wayne follows through on his remaining tour dates after rescheduling the Maine performance for July 28.
Lil Wayne And Denise Bidot’s Relationship Ended In Public Allegations

Wayne’s personal life also made the news much longer than his current concert controversy. In May 2025, model Denise Bidot publicly accused the rapper of breaking up with her via a text message on Mother’s Day while she was still recovering from surgery.
According to The Blast, Bidot alleged that Wayne forced her and her daughter out of the home they shared and claimed he had been physically and emotionally abusive during their relationship. She also suggested other women had experienced similar treatment, though those allegations have not been publicly substantiated.
The couple’s relationship since going public in 2020 had been tumultuous, with some heartbreaks and reconciliations. The rapper didn’t publicly respond to Bidot’s accusations, but they brought a new level of controversy to his public persona.

Jodie Sweetin On Relationship With Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen
“Full House” star Jodie Sweetin is opening up about where she and the rest of the cast stand with twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. While appearing on a recent episode of “Comics and Kicks,” Sweetin said that she and the Olsens are fine despite rumors that the 40-year-olds were in a bad place with a majority of the cast. According to Sweetin, there’s no truth to the claims, and she confirmed that the pair spent several days together in 2022, when actor Bob Saget died.
“Everyone’s on good terms with them, but they were 8 years old when this show stopped,” Sweetin said about her and the rest of the cast’s relationship with the twins. “Then, they did all of those movies and all that stuff that I don’t know that they really loved doing all the time.”
Don’t forget, Mary-Kate and Ashley shared the role of Michelle Tanner in the ’80s sitcom “Full House.” After that, the pair went on to star in several films, including “Passport to Paris,” “Our Lips Are Sealed,” “It Takes Two,” and “Double Double.”
The sisters left the entertainment industry behind in the early 2000s to begin building their fashion brands, “The Row” and “Elizabeth and James.” According to Sweetin, the two left the world of acting because it wasn’t “what they love.”
Jodie Sweetin Says Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Have A ‘Different Relationship’ With The Acting Industry

Later in the podcast interview, Sweetin talked about the twins’ relationship with the acting industry, stating that they didn’t enjoy being on the show’s set.
“They have a different relationship to being on set all the time,” she said. “Like, they might not remember being 2 years old and having, you know, us all carrying them around and doing this stuff, but I do, you know, and I think that’s not their thing.”
Sweetin shared even more about her beliefs behind Mary-Kate and Ashley’s choice to leave the industry after their last film, “New York Minute.”
“Their empire blew up and they don’t want attention, and I get it. They had so much and were so invaded and for public consumption. I totally understand why they don’t want to do that,” she said.
Jodie Sweetin Spills The Beans About That Mary-Kate And Ashley Joke In The ‘Fuller House’ Reboot
While “Full House” concluded in 1995, a majority of the cast reunited for the Netflix reboot “Fuller House” in 2016. Mary-Kate and Ashley, however, chose not to join, prompting the cast to address their absence in the first episode.
“Basically it’s the first episode of Fuller House and the whole family’s back. We’re standing in the kitchen and we’re talking about all being together again,” Sweetin said on the podcast. “And then we say something about, ‘Well, if only Michelle were here, or Michelle’s off running her fashion empire in New York.’ And then every we all just kind of looked to the camera like, ‘Uh-huh.’”
The on-screen joke, though, wasn’t meant to be a jab at the twins; it was supposed to be a light-hearted joke about their absence.
“You have to address it,” Sweetin said. “You can’t just not say anything.”
Some Cast Members Were Angry That The Twins Didn’t Come Back To Reprise Their Role

On a previous episode of the “And That’s What You REALLY Missed” podcast, actor John Stamos, who played Uncle Jesse on “Full House,” admitted he was “angry” that the twins decided not to participate in the reboot.
“When I did Fuller House, they didn’t wanna come back. And I was angry for a minute,” he said. However, his feelings subsided, and he said the entire cast reunited with them in 2022, when Saget passed away.
“… they were, like, ‘We loved our childhood. We loved being with you. We miss Bob.’ They came over to my house. They brought a pork chop and sage. I don’t know why, but thank you? It was a frozen pork chop, so that was really nice. So we stayed very close,” Stamos said.
Sweetin Recalled Things Being ‘Just Like Before’ When They Reunited Following Saget’s Death

Sweetin shared a similar statement on the “Comics and Kicks” show, revealing that when the cast reunited with Mary-Kate and Ashley, things were “just like it was before.”
She added, “It was normal. We all, you know, spent like four days just constantly together… and it was like nothing had changed.”

Tom Hiddleston’s Apple TV Epic Officially Scores Rare Theatrical Release
Like most streaming services, Apple TV is not known for being pro-theater. However, the streaming service is one of the kinder ones for this medium, with some of its movies having a limited theatrical release before becoming available to stream. Blockbusters like F1 and Killers of the Flower Moon had a short theatrical window before they hit Apple TV. This release strategy is on a case-by-case basis, as streaming services weigh which movies have the potential to draw people to theaters and possibly secure award nominations. The streamer has several movies set for a theatrical release, with one of them hitting all the notes for a potential award run.
This film is based on a true story and chronicles the feat of one little-known pioneer. Many people might be unaware of Tenzing Norgay, the first recorded mountain climber to reach the summit of the tallest mountain in the world. Genden Phuntsok plays the Himalayan climber who collaborated with New Zealand mountaineer Edmund Hillary, played by Tom Hiddleston, for the historic climb. Tenzing has attracted some top-tier talent, including Willem Dafoe as Colonel Hunt and Caitríona Balfe as Jill Henderson.
Tenzing had to overcome a lot because, before he was allowed to climb, he served the British climbing team. With Henderson, they convince Colonel Hunt to add him to the team as a climber. He was able to climb the mountain by using a different philosophy from his Western counterparts, who viewed it as a conquest, whereas Tenzing viewed it as an entity. The climb becomes not only a challenge to push human limits but also a clash of ideas and backgrounds. Still, a mountain like Everest, or Chomolungma as it is traditionally called, has the unique ability to strip people down to the bare minimum and reveal what they’re made of.
What Happened to Tenzing Norgay?
After making history as the first recorded person to climb Mount Everest, Tenzing became a global celebrity and was named as Time’s 100 Most Influential People of the 21st Century. He went on to write a book that detailed his life. Tenzing was married three times and had seven children. His first wife, Dawa (Thienly Lhamo), was one of his greatest supporters, but she died. He had numerous grandchildren, including Tenzing Trainor (Liv and Maddie, Freeridge), an American actor and son of Norgay’s daughter Deki Tenzing. Norgay died in 1986 of a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 71.
Tenzing, directed by Jennifer Peedom, will be available in select theaters on October 9 before streaming on Apple TV on October 16. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

‘The Bear’s Final Twist Is the Perfect Ending Fans Have Been Waiting For
Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Bear Season 5.The Bear finally closes its doors with Season 5, and its finale does not disappoint. Since premiering in 2022, culinary prodigy Carmy Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) has been at the epicenter of every chef’s kitchen nightmare. From failing a health inspection to nearly setting the place on fire, it often seemed like Carmy’s efforts to save the restaurant his late brother left behind were all for nothing. Even when he transformed the Original Beef of Chicagoland into the high-end fine dining restaurant The Bear, what seemed like a fresh start only brought a whole new set of problems.
Running a restaurant is no walk in the park, and even someone as talented as Carmy isn’t immune to the threat of closure. Yet no matter how many setbacks come their way, the team at The Bear refused to give up, pushing through until the very end. The result is a finale that not only catches viewers off guard, but also delivers a satisfying full-circle moment that proves Carmy’s journey was never just about saving a restaurant.
Season 5 of ‘The Bear’ Is Carmy’s Last Chance To Save the Restaurant
Saving a failing restaurant from near closure by earning a Michelin Star in a single service sounds like a pipe dream, but that’s apparently the case in The Bear Season 5. The final season takes place over the course of one fateful service — in a The Pitt-style format. With the original 1,440 hours from Season 4 finally up, this last service determines the fate of the restaurant, as its primary investor, Uncle Jimmy (Oliver Platt), plans to sell the building to make up for his losses. There is one solution, though: earn a Michelin Star.
Much of Season 5 revolves around the team trying to impress the mysterious “Star Man,” whom the staff believes to be the guest named Dearborn. As seen in Episode 7, “Caramel,” everyone pulls out all the stops to impress their presumed Michelin inspector. From Neil Fak (Matty Matheson) enthusiastically entertaining him with the history behind his tattoos to Sydney (Ayo Edebiri) stepping in with her Coke short ribs after the last lamb chop is lost for the tonnato, every member of the team goes the extra mile to leave a lasting impression. By the end of the service, “Star Man,” along with his dining companion — none other than real-life Chicago meteorologist Tom Skilling — has nothing but praise for The Bear.
The Bear Receives Not One, but Two Michelin Stars Instead
Episode 7 ends on a satisfying note, but the real verdict doesn’t come until Episode 8, “The Original Beef of Chicagoland.” Throughout Season 5, Carmy keeps receiving calls from an unknown number, all of which he declines. It’s only in the finale, after finally getting a breather, that he decides to answer. Longtime fans might assume the caller is someone he knows, like Claire (Molly Gordon), especially since audiences barely see her in the final episode. Instead, much to Carmy’s surprise, the caller turns out to be none other than Peter Clark (Gary Janetti).
That’s when The Bear delivers its final twist. The restaurant hasn’t just earned one Michelin Star — it has earned two. Even more surprising is the revelation that the real “Star Man” was Mr. Clark all along, the same guest from Season 4, Episode 3, “Scallop.” Back then, the staff treated him like any other customer, completely unaware that he was a Michelin inspector. Apart from Richie being his usual friendly self and the food being cooked to perfection, The Bear never goes out of its way to give Peter any special treatment. Instead, what leaves the biggest impression is seeing the team go above and beyond for another diner celebrating their recovery from cancer by serving one of the restaurant’s original beef sandwiches and creating makeshift snow outside as part of their dessert course.
10 Lingering Questions I Still Have After ‘The Bear’ Series Finale
Every second counts… until you run out of time.
Carmy Achieved More Than Just Michelin Stars
In the end, The Bear wasn’t awarded for its last service at all, but for one ordinary night when the staff was simply doing what they do best instead of worrying about impressing the “Star Man.” As Peter quietly watches the makeshift snow moment unfold from afar with a smile on his face, it becomes clear that it was the restaurant’s genuine hospitality — not a standout, one-night performance for an inspector — that left the biggest impression. That revelation makes the restaurant’s two Michelin stars feel even more rewarding.
But for Carmy, he gained more than just two Michelin stars. It all comes back to a flashback conversation with Mikey (Jon Bernthal) in the opening of Season 4, where Carmy explains to a skeptical Mikey why he wants to build a restaurant in the first place. He knows it’s hard, gnarly, and brutal, but he never set out to build a Michelin-starred restaurant. All he wanted was to create a place where they could take care of people, serve delicious food, and play good music—a place people would want to visit after a great day, and one they’d need even more after a bad one. Carmy may have walked away from the fine dining industry, but the moment he leaves The Bear, he can do so with pride. In the end, he fulfilled the promise he made to Mikey, and the restaurant’s two Michelin stars simply became proof that staying true to that vision was enough.

The Greatest Japanese Fantasy Epic of All Time Officially Returns to Theaters This Month
One of the most iconic Studio Ghibli films is returning to theaters this month. Lately, a handful of Ghibli films have been given theatrical re-releases years after their original releases. Now, another one is making its way to the big screen for a limited time only.
Studio Ghibli is an award-winning animation studio founded in 1985 by Hayao Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata, and Yasuyoshi Tokuma. Its first feature film was Castle in the Sky, released in 1986. Since then, it has released over 20 feature films, including award-winning hits like Spirited Away and The Boy and the Heron, both of which won “Best Animated Feature” at the Academy Awards. Recently, films like Princess Mononoke and Kiki’s Delivery Service have returned to theaters for a limited release, and now another notable feature directed by Miyazaki is making its theatrical return.
My Neighbor Totoro is a 1988 animated feature that has grossed over $41 million worldwide. Directed by Miyazaki, it follows two sisters, Satsuki and Mei, who discover mysterious spirits called susuwatari in their new home before befriending a large, gentle spirit they name “Totoro.” CBR reported that GKIDS and Fathom Entertainment announced a theatrical re-release of My Neighbor Totoro this July, in both English and Japanese dubs. Additionally, the theatrical re-release will feature a post-film bonus featurette titled “Creating My Neighbor Totoro.” The English dub of My Neighbor Totoro stars Dakota and Elle Fanning as Satsuki and Mei Kusakabe, Tim Daly (Superman: The Animated Series) as their father, Tatsuo Kusakabe, Lea Salonga (KPop Demon Hunters) as their mother, Yasuko Kusakabe, and Frank Welker (2019’s Aladdin) as Totoro and Catbus.
Is ‘My Neighbor Totoro’ Worth Watching?
Since its release, My Neighbor Totoro has become somewhat synonymous with the Studio Ghibli brand, with Totoro featured in the studio’s logo. Additionally, the film was praised, earning a 94% critic and audience score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 4.2-star rating on Letterboxd. According to critics, ScreenRant claimed My Neighbor Totoro is “a heartwarming and melancholy Ghibli masterpiece,” and many other outlets share the same sentiment. Others claimed that My Neighbor Totoro could “cross generations and cultural barriers” and that watching it would make viewers feel like a kid again. Meanwhile, audiences felt “enamored” after watching the movie and called My Neighbor Totoro a “timeless anime classic.” Some also note that the movie’s charm and innocent vibe make up for its lack of story.
My Neighbor Totoro enters theaters on July 11. You can stream the film on HBO Max and Prime Video. Follow Collider for more updates.

American Idol’s Taylor Hicks on Flirty Kelly Clarkson Remark
Taylor Hicks is clarifying the seemingly flirty message he had for Kelly Clarkson.
“I think that’s manifested, not by Page Six or by us, but by somebody else,” the American Idol season 5 winner said in a Wednesday, July 1, interview with SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio.
Earlier this year, Hicks, 49, raised eyebrows when he flirtatiously responded to Clarkson’s revelation that she did not receive a car after winning the inaugural season of American Idol.
“I am a big fan of Kelly Clarkson and consider her one of the most incredible voices to emerge from American Idol,” Hicks told Page Six in March. “I would be more than happy to help her find a new Mustang.”
Hicks explained on Wednesday that he genuinely meant he wanted to pay it forward to Clarkson, 44, as she helped catapult the success of American Idol, paving the way for Hicks and other winners.
“As the show got bigger, Kelly, she was the first [winner]. She was the pioneer. So there [weren’t] that many sponsors. But when they got to my season, Carrie [Underwood]’s season … It was huge. It was such a big juggernaut. So there were a lot of sponsors,” the singer said. “We got a car, we got a Ford Mustang and Kelly didn’t. So I was like, ‘Let’s take Kelly shopping’ and they took it from there. But she’s a doll.”
During a March episode of Clarkson’s eponymous talk show, the “Since U Been Gone” singer revealed that the prize she got for winning American Idol was different from what she expected.
“I literally was on the show, and they were like, ‘Oh, you win a million dollars’ or whatever. No, you didn’t. It was, like, a million dollars worth of investment in you,” she said. “And then they said you get a car, and I needed it cause my car was bashed in, and I couldn’t afford the deductible. I did not get a car. And then Clay Aiken, who didn’t win the second season, got a car and his mom [also got a car]!”
While Clarkson did not get the American Idol prize she envisioned, her career has since flourished. Clarkson has earned three Grammys and 12 Daytime Emmys for her talk show, which will be coming to an end this fall.
As Clarkson has balanced a successful career, she is also the loving mother to daughter River Rose, 12, and son Remington, 10, whom she welcomed with late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. (Blackstock died in August 2025 following a private battle with cancer. He was 48.)
Hicks applauded Clarkson for her “really great work ethic” as she has balanced everything that has been thrown at her.
“It’s not easy filming television, having two kids and then being able to mother without her ex-husband. Which is tough,” he said on Wednesday. “It’s a tough gig all around. But what a great run she had.”

Ashley Tisdale To Star In ‘Toxic’ Mom Sitcom
Ashley Tisdale is reportedly hoping to turn her experience with a toxic mom group into a smash hit. The Disney Channel star is said to be partnering with Netflix to develop and executive produce a new half-hour comedy, “Toxic Moms,” loosely inspired by her real-life friendship breakup with a group of celebrity mothers, including Hilary Duff and Mandy Moore. Tisdale, known for her roles in “High School Musical” and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody,” made headlines earlier this year when she opened up about leaving her group of moms after feeling excluded from their outings.

According to Deadline, Tisdale, in partnership with Sabrina Jalees and Ali Wong, will help create a new dark comedy series called “Toxic Moms” for Netflix.
It’s said to follow a “sleep-deprived” mother who’s recruited by a group of “cool, wealthy mothers.” Throughout the series, the lead character is said to discover her new clique’s “darker side,” prompting her to ask, “How far would you go to taste community?”
While the series hasn’t been greenlit just yet, if Netflix does pick it up, it would become the next production in the streamer’s lineup of series featuring female leads, including “Running Point,” “Nobody Wants This,” “The Survival of the Thickest,” and “North of North.”
This Could Be Ashley Tisdale’s Newest Project

Tisdale has been in the spotlight since the early 2000s after starring in several Disney productions. In addition to the aforementioned works, Tisdale also snagged a role as Candace in “Phineas & Ferb.”
Over the years, Tisdale starred in “Hellcats,” “Merry Happy Whatever,” and “Carol’s Second Act.” The mother of two also appeared in ABC Family’s “Young & Hungry” and, as of February 2026, secured a role in CBS’ new sitcom “You’re Only Young Twice.”
The latter is in early development and focuses on Emily (Tisdale) and Alex, a young couple who got pregnant and married in high school, and, at 35, have a child starting college.
“That means they can get divorced and start life all over again while they’re still young enough to enjoy it. Newly divorced empty-nesters, they stumble through dating, co-parenting, and maybe a second chance at love,” the show’s description reads, per Deadline.
More About Ashley Tisdale’s ‘Toxic’ Mom Group

Tisdale’s latest collaboration with Netflix comes after the actress and singer penned a personal essay for “The Cut,” detailing her decision to leave her “toxic” group of mom friends in the dust.
According to a previous report from The Blast, Tisdale wrote about being excited to initially connect with a group of high-profile moms. However, her joy quickly faded as she said she felt they began acting differently toward her over time.
She claimed that she noticed they were hanging out together on social media without her, adding, “Another time, at one of the mom’s dinner parties, I realized where I sat with her — which was at the end of the table, far from the rest of the women. I was starting to feel frozen out of the group, noticing every way that they seemed to exclude me.”
Ashley Tisdale Wrote Her Personal Essay To Offer Support

Tisdale said that she tried not to take the alleged snubs to heart, but revealed it was challenging not to. Eventually, the 41-year-old sent a text message to her group of friends, revealing she was leaving them behind.
Regarding her essay, Tisdale said she wrote it to offer support to other mothers facing similar drama.
“Motherhood has enough challenges without having to wonder if the people around you are on your side,” she wrote. “You deserve to go through motherhood with people who actually, you know, like you. And if you have to wonder if they do, here’s the hard-earned lesson I hope you’ll take to heart: It’s not the right group for you. Even if it looks like they’re having the best time on Instagram.”
Who Was Reportedly Part Of Tisdale’s Toxic Mom Group?
While she didn’t mention names, the internet deduced that Tisdale was speaking about celebs Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff.
While speaking with Andy Cohen, Moore responded to Tisdale’s essay, expressing disappointment that the Disney star made their issues public.
“It’s wild to have anybody talk about your life, and I know Hilary [Duff] has sort of mentioned this too,” Moore said. “It’s like we both have grown up in this business and had people dissect who we are and the choices we make and all of that, but this was something altogether different and decidedly way more upsetting.”

Hugh Jackman Isn’t Ready to Pass the Wolverine Claws Just Yet : Coastal House Media
As excitement continues to build for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sadie Sink has opened up about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what it was like stepping onto the set alongside Tom Holland.
Speaking in a recent interview, Sink admitted that entering one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises was both exciting and intimidating. While she understood the massive popularity of Spider-Man before signing on, she quickly realized just how enormous the production truly was.
“I knew that Marvel was a big deal and had a big brand, especially Spider-Man,” she said. “I know there’s a huge fan base, but it feels really big. I think these blockbuster movies are a whole different beast.”
Joining a cast that had already spent years working together also left Sink feeling like an outsider at first, but she said Holland and the rest of the production made the transition incredibly easy.
“It was interesting stepping into that space and being a little bit of an outsider in that way, but he could not have been more welcoming, and just the whole crew in general.”
She went on to praise Holland’s personality, saying:
“He was just so relaxed and open, and I felt very at ease.”
While Marvel Studios continues to keep Sink’s role under wraps, the actress admitted that watching fans speculate about her mystery character has been an interesting experience. Many fans continue to believe she could be portraying Jean Grey, though neither Marvel nor Sink has confirmed those rumors.

The actress also revealed that Marvel handled her casting with its trademark secrecy. Rather than auditioning for the role, Sink was reportedly offered the part directly following her previous collaboration with director Destin Daniel Cretton. She also wasn’t given the full script until she arrived in London to begin filming.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, with Peter Parker navigating a world where no one remembers his identity. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, and Sadie Sink, with the next chapter of Spider-Man’s story set to arrive in theaters on July 31.
With Sink praising Holland’s welcoming attitude and offering a glimpse into the scale and secrecy surrounding Marvel productions, anticipation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to build as fans eagerly await the reveal of her mysterious role.
