Actress Naomi Watts has joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a voice cameo appearance in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." She portrays E.V.I.E., an artificial intelligence designed to assist Spider-Man in the film. This marks Watts' first foray into the MCU, though she has prior experience with comic book adaptations, having starred in "Tank Girl" in 1995.
Watts' role in the current blockbuster reunites her with actor Tom Holland, nearly 14 years after they co-starred in "The Impossible." Released in 2012, the film chronicled a family's survival during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Watts received an Oscar nomination for her performance, and the film helped launch Holland's career, leading to his casting as Spider-Man three years later.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is currently in theaters and has already demonstrated remarkable commercial success. The film has shattered box office records within hours of its release and is tracking to achieve one of the biggest opening weekends ever.
