[This story contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.]
For more than a decade, writing duo Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna have been one of the constants in Spider-Man’s life.
The scribes, who got their start on TV shows like Community, are credited on all four of Tom Holland’s solo movies: Homecoming (2017), Far From Home (2019) and the nearly $2 billion grosser No Way Home (2021). They return in a big way with Brand New Day, which has toppled multiple records, including passing Avengers: Endgame for the biggest first week domestically of all time. It’s already amassed $1.68 billion globally since launching July 31.
Sommers and McKenna had a number of tasks to juggle, but one of the more impactful for the future of Marvel was the addition of Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), the first castmember of the MCU’s new X-Men team.
