The Spider-Man-and-the-Hand shot in Spider-Man: Brand New Day required at least 65 takes. The sequence was designed as one of the film’s detailed comic-book-inspired images.
Some of the production’s shots were recorded at 420 frames per second. That speed made the actors’ movements especially difficult to perform and repeat accurately.
The Hand is a group of mystical ninjas from Marvel Comics and previously appeared in Marvel’s Netflix television series. Its inclusion helped connect the film’s street-level story to other Marvel crime-fighting characters.
The production’s approach drew on memorable comic-book panels, including images connected with Spider-Man and the Hand. By filming these images with elaborate choreography and slow motion, the filmmakers emphasized the visual language of comics.
