Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Climactic Fight Echoes the Phoenix
Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s climactic battle is built around a phoenix motif, with stunt choreographer Peng Zhang uniting 20 ninjas from The Hand into a phoenix-like formation around Spider-Man as Tom Holland performs many stunts. The sequence blends “alien technology” with martial arts and was shot on location at Dorchester Prison, requiring careful rigging and long takes over roughly 12 days of filming.
