LAS VEGAS − Say hello to “Maynard.”
The new moniker Peter Parker assumes in his new life was revealed during a sneak peek of“Spider-Man: Brand New Day,”on Monday, April 13, atCinemaCon, the annual convention for theater owners and studios.
Spidey starTom Hollandappeared virtually at the event to expound on the film, in theaters July 31.
“I’m sure you’ve seen how big and fun the film is from the trailer and a lot we did in new ways,” he said. “This is the most emotional Spider-Man we’ve ever made and in some ways, the most grown up.”
The clip shown in The Colosseum at Caesars Palace plays off the cliffhanger of“Spider-Man: No Way Home,”where Parker sacrificed his identity to save his friends.

In the new film, Holland’s Parker wanders into a house party, where the host coincidentally has an obsession with finding the identity of Spider-Man. He’s even created a “Spidey tracker app.”
Parker’s romantic partner MJ (played by Holland’s rumored new wifeZendaya) is also in attendance and obviously doesn’t recognize her crime-fighting beau, who introduces himself as “Maynard.” Parker also learns with a painful glance across the room that MJ has moved on with a new boyfriend.
