It’s a brand new day for Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him – and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him – sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo. 

“It’s quite emotional but it’s also a lot of fun,” director Cretton teases about the film.

SEEK champions job search relevancy in Asia-wide digital campaign

addresses job mismatch through AI-powered search and matching

Job mismatch has long been a concern among Filipino jobseekers. While the national unemployment rate eased slightly to 5% in March 2026, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the persistent issue of underemployment remains critical at 12.3%. This translates to approximately 6.03 million Filipinos who, while employed, are actively seeking additional work or longer hours to better align with their financial needs and professional skills.

Tackling the pervasive issue of job mismatch by bringing “relevancy” to the forefront of the job search experience, SEEK, the parent company of Jobstreet and Jobsdb launched its newest campaign, Find Better Matches. 

Rolled out across six Asian markets including the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, the digital campaign is grounded in a critical candidate insight: jobseekers do not want more options; they want options that actually fit their unique skills and aspirations. This was brought to life through a creative video series featuring unique characters, including a mermaid and the Monkey King, who each discover their perfect job match that fits their purpose and preferred work conditions.

The campaign comes at a crucial time, as Jobstreet by SEEK’s latest Happiness Index Report revealed that 55% of Filipino workers frequently consider changing careers. This highlights how finding the “right fit” has become increasingly important in bridging the gap between professional and life fulfillment.

Furthermore, the campaign underscores SEEK’s continued commitment to providing best-matching opportunities through the AI-powered platform. Rather than sifting through thousands of listings, this intelligent feature acts as a high-precision filter that processes millions of data points, including a candidate’s specific skills, experience, and even past search behavior, to recommend roles that offer the right fit for each candidate. 

"Relevancy is increasingly what matters most. With this campaign, we’re making it clear that Jobstreet and Jobsdb are the best places to find opportunities that genuinely fit. By combining that with SEEK’s AI-powered matching, we're showing that no matter how unique you are, you can find your perfect job match on Jobstreet and Jobsdb,” said Maryanne Tsiatsias, Chief Marketing Officer APAC, SEEK.

Jobstreet by SEEK also encourages candidates to keep their profiles updated on the Jobstreet app, allowing the AI to surface personalized job matches and highlight roles with a "Strong Applicant" badge. Employers, on the other hand, can utilize the AI-powered Talent Search tool, which instantly ranks candidates with a suitability score, ensuring a faster and more precise match. 

By prioritizing relevancy over volume, the platform ensures that Filipinos can find opportunities where their potential is fully utilized, connecting them to roles that truly match their skills and aspirations.

Director Destin Daniel Cretton, Kevin Feige talk about the importance of community in a world where Peter Parker/Spider-Man feels all alone in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” out in PH cinemas on July 29

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Peter Parker is living in a world that does not know of his existence. 

To save the world in No Way Home, Peter had to erase himself from everyone’s memory, including those to whom he is closest – the love of his life, MJ (Zendaya), and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon). In Brand New Day, Peter is all alone, living in the aftermath of his sacrifice. 

Watch the trailer: https://youtu.be/bbVLLv1s1Gw 

Peter’s journey leads him to realize that he can’t do it all alone. And it is that sense of community, of belongingness, that resonated with director Destin Daniel Cretton. “It’s the first time that Peter is operating alone,” says the filmmaker. “Peter has always had a wonderful community around him, but now, because of the world-changing events at the end of No Way Home, he must do everything by himself. It’s quite emotional but it’s also a lot of fun. It’s a more mature Peter Parker, but in other ways it’s the same Peter that everybody knows and loves.”

Cretton adds that that balance of work – no matter how passionate one feels about it – and community and personal connection “is the most important thing to try to find in life. Who you really are is defined by the people who love you and the people you love.” 

The filmmaker takes the helm from Jon Watts, who directed the previous trilogy and laid an exceptional foundation for this new era of the beloved Marvel figure. Watts captured the heart of Peter Parker – his awkwardness, optimism, and humanity – while weaving him into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the world has shifted as does the person behind the camera. Cretton, who’s known for grounding spectacle in emotion and character work, brings a bold vision to the Spider-Man mythos, one that isn’t afraid to explore a more grounded and mature hero, in a resonant story that never loses sight of the person at its center. 

Producer Kevin Feige, who, as the president of Marvel Studios, has been the principal architect of its cinematic universe, calls Cretton “an artist who is also a fan. Destin has created some of the best fight sequences in any Marvel movie. At the same time, he’s incredibly character-oriented and has brought Spider-Man into a new direction.”

Feige emphasizes that this direction includes Cretton’s focus on community. “Destin conveys the dangers of isolation,” he notes. “Peter Parker, who’s lived by the credo, ‘With great power comes great responsibility,’ initially believes that this responsibility is only to others, when, in fact, there must be an element of it that encompasses being responsible for yourself, so that you can be your best for others.”

Amy Pascal, who is nothing less than a curator of the evolving saga, having served as producer on the previous Spider-Man films, also praises Cretton, whose work on Marvel Studios’ Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Short Term 12 she has long admired. “Destin can combine action and heart and isn’t afraid of earnest emotion,” she points out. “With Brand New Day, he has made a film about Peter thinking that the past is buried and that he can move on from his previous life. But he cannot, even though he’s living in complete denial when we meet him in this story. Brand New Day is about Peter growing up.” 

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and also starring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Michael Mando, Tramell Tillman and Mark Ruffalo, Spider-Man: Brand New Day dawns in Philippine cinemas on July 29. Tickets available now!

Meet the family: take a look at the cast of characters that will fight to survive in “Evil Dead Burn” Opens in PH cinemas July 8

 COLUMBIA PICTURES

LUCIANE BUCHANAN as Thya in “Evil Dead Burn”

Evil Dead Burn, the newest and most intense installment of the iconic Evil Dead franchise, keeps the horror intimate as the nightmare unfolds on a grieving family. Director Sébastien Vaniček wants to treat audiences with a brand new set of characters and dynamics. “I wanted to immediately introduce a new generation of characters, and have the audience quickly understand their connections to each other: two brothers, a wife, a girlfriend, a birthday, a cake, a party. There’s a lot of dynamism in that scene, which I think prepares the audience for the energy of what’s coming next,” says Vaniček.

Watch the official trailer: https://youtu.be/Q_sJqu-bYiA

In Evil Dead Burn, a widow stays with her in-laws to cope with their collective loss. One by one, they are transformed into Deadites, demonic corrupted spirits, and turn the family reunion into a gathering from hell. 

SOUHEILA YACOUB as Alice in “Evil Dead Burn”

At the center of the story is Alice, played by Souheila Yacoub. Grieving her deceased husband Will and trapped with a family she barely knows, she is forced to survive a curse from beyond the grave. Yacoub empathises with her character, speaking on the trials Alice goes through in the film. “I remember how I felt after the reading… I was really exhausted and tired. There was a lot going on, especially for my character. I couldn’t stop reading. It was like ‘When does it end?… again, again, again, again, action again, blood again!’ I felt bad for Alice!”

She also praises Vaniček for the originality of the script, saying “There are so many things I’ve never seen before. I really admire Sébastien’s boldness. It doesn’t feel like a conventional horror movie. It’s rough, it’s hard, and it’s full of surprises.”

Tandi Wright plays Susan, Alice’s mother-in-law whose composure buries a shameful past. “As a child, growing up, Susan and Polly (Susan’s mother) were dealing with her father in the story, who was like the local crazy man. There’s such deep shame, embarrassment and a lifetime of mortification. So, I think she spent so much of her life trying to be as normal as possible and to be in control of everything as much as possible,” Wright shares.

HUNTER DOOHAN as Joseph in “Evil Dead Burn”

Joseph, the younger brother of Will, is tied to a cursed legacy that seemingly can’t be stopped. Played by Hunter Doohan, the actor shares his character’s ties to an earlier Evil Dead film. “Our family falls victim to the Evil Dead—it’s kind of tied into our family history. Joseph’s grandfather worked with Professor Knowby from Evil Dead II and was researching this evil. It’s just been following us for generations.”

Doohan also loved working with Vaniček, and how he collaborated with the cast through the challenging film. “Séb is amazing as a director. His storytelling is so visceral. As crazy as the situation in the script was, it really focused on the genuine horror and pain and loss that these characters are going through. So, I just completely trusted him in guiding us in this one.”

Luciane Buchanan plays Joseph’s girlfriend Thya, who is also pulled along for the ride with the untimely death of her boyfriend’s brother. Buchanan talks about Thya’s perspective as an outsider from the family, “As Joseph's girlfriend, she’s a newcomer. Early on, one of the family members goes through an unfortunate event, which then trickles throughout the family. It does not discriminate as it finds its way through them, and all hell breaks loose.”

LUCIANE BUCHANAN as Thya in “Evil Dead Burn”

Edgar is the father of Will, and his grief sets things in motion for Evil Dead Burn. Erroll Shand plays the distraught father, and he shares the moment everything starts to go downhill. “Edgar goes to see his son in the crematorium, and that kinda sets everything in motion. On day one, it was me cracking open the coffin lid without any idea what was going to come out… You’re in the world of imagination and you just have to.”

Maude Davey plays the 85-year-old matriarch of the family, Polly. Her story with her late husband shapes the rocky foundations the family is built upon. “Polly’s late husband is the link to the other films – he became the family embarrassment, the local loonie, and I think Polly’s been driven mad by the Evil Dead as well,” says Davey.

The death that started it all. Will’s demise haunts the family in different ways, most notably his wife Alice. “We were careful not to make Will just a one note. He’s extremely controlling, somewhat manipulative, sometimes without even realizing it. Sometimes being in a relationship can actually be a hell of its own making,” says George Pullar, who plays Will.  

See which one survives hell on earth as “Evil Dead Burn” arrives in Philippine cinemas on July 8, rated R-18 with no cuts.
