The latest trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day crackles with wild MCU meet-ups.
‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ trailer: Tom Holland yearns for Zendaya in action-packed first look
The film sees Peter Parker (Tom Holland) suffering from strange new spider mutations, including organic webbing. To figure out how to control — or maybe completely reverse — these incidents, Peter goes to the MCU’s supreme expert in all things mutation: Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), aka the Incredible Hulk.
That’s not the only team-up to look forward to in Brand New Day, though. Later in the trailer, Peter brings MJ (Zendaya) to Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), aka the Punisher, for safekeeping.
Speaking of MJ, she and Ned (Jacob Batalon) still don’t remember Peter following the magical memory wipe at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, they’re still very much part of Peter’s life, as they’re his neighbors. Based on a yarn wall in their apartment, Ned is very invested in finding out the true identity of Spider-Man… How long before he and MJ crack the case?
That’s most of Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s cast accounted for, but one face is conspicuously missing from the trailer: that of Sadie Sink. The Stranger Things star has been cast in an undisclosed role, although she’s rumored to be playing X-Men mainstay Jean Grey.
If that’s the case, then Sink may be hiding in plain sight in the trailer as the villainous figure who is controlling people’s minds and wreaking havoc across New York. Apparently, only Peter is immune to this villain’s effects. Will he stop them in time? More importantly, will he and MJ find their way back to one another? Based on a too-brief swinging scene in the trailer, the answer seems like a yes.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters July 31.
