A New Era Begins: First Look at Tom Holland’s “Spider‑Man: Brand New Day”
It’s a day of first looks! Earlier today, we got a glimpse of a grizzled Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Three. Now, it’s Tom Holland’s turn to reveal the first glimpse at his Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which arrives in theaters on July 31.
Holland took to Instagram to tease the first trailer, which will arrive on Wednesday. The Instagram post reveals Holland’s web-slinger saving someone as he threads through a pair of buildings. We hear a voice say “rebirth,” and the vibe is decidedly darker than the three previous Holland-led films, all directed by Jon Watts. This time around, Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is the helmer. In the video, Holland describes that, in a first, some of Spider-Man‘s biggest fans will be releasing pieces of the trailer on their own social media accounts.
We haven’t seen Spider-Man in a while. It was way back in 2021 when Spider-Man: No Way Home swung into theaters, a massive blockbuster that saw a trio of Parkers—Holland and the previous friendly neighborhood Spider-Men, played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire—battling resurrected villains from films past. While the Peter Parker-trio did indeed save the world, it came at a great cost to Holland’s character, who had to sacrifice his friends and family’s memories of him in order to restore balance to the multiverse. This meant that by the time he sees the love of his life, MJ (Zendaya) at the film’s conclusion, she has no clue who he is.
Holland’s Spider-Man has a shiny new suit in Brand New Day, and also a new rough-around-the-edges ally in Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle, aka the Punisher. Along with Zendaya returning as MJ, along with Jacob Batalon as Ned. You might also see Mark Ruffalo return as Bruce Banner/the Hulk, and Sadie Sink in a mysterious new role that speculators believe is the iconic X-Men, Jean Grey. Severance star Tramell Tillman also has an undisclosed role, while Michael Mando is playing Mac Gargan/Scorpion.
