The UltimateTV would like to invite you and your friends to highly anticipated movie of the Summer, Spider-Man Brand New Day starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal and Michael Mando, 7:00pm on Monday, July 27th at a secret location!
Synopsis: A forgotten Peter Parker lives alone as a full-time Spider-Man until mounting pressure triggers a dangerous change, and a powerful new enemy emerges. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city - a full-time Spider-Man - but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.
