Destin Daniel Cretton knew he had a tough act to follow as director of this summer’s blockbuster 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day.' In 2021, the Spider-Man cinematic universe went big with 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' reuniting past Spideys with Tom Holland’s webslinger. Instead of trying to top that, Cretton went smaller in 'Brand New Day,' telling a story about Peter Parker’s loneliness and attempts to re-connect with people who don’t remember him. Cretton’s instinct paid off and the film has earned more than $2 billion at the box office.
Cretton shares why he feels connected to the character of Peter Parker, he dives into the importance of family, both biological and found, and he explains why he wasn’t sure whether the emotional climactic scene of the film would work.

Cohen tells The Treatment how he involves the audience in creating his characters, why having a camera pointed at you can make you do crazy things, and he explains why Monty Python was such a huge inspiration to him.
