“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” Trailer Finds Spider-Man Teaming Up With Bruce Banner & Punisher

The first trailer for Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens as we see Peter Parker (Tom Holland, of course) sitting atop a skyscraper in New York City, watching a video of his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), and the love of his life, MJ (Zendaya), having what Ned calls the best time of MJ’s life. She doesn’t disagree. This is a heartbreaker for Peter, because these two people no longer have any idea who he is. This is the result of what happened the last time we saw Spidey in action, back in 2021, when Spider-Man: No Way Home swung into theaters, a massive blockbuster that saw a trio of Parkers—Holland and his multiversal counterparts, the former Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire—battling resurrected villains from films past, like Doc Ock (Alfred Molina), the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe), and Electro (Jamie Foxx). While the 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. Hence why he’s watching a video of his two favorite people instead of being in that video with them. This becomes especially poignant when, later on, the trailer shows Peter spotting MJ with a new boyfriend. Ouch.

Well, Peter’s got one new friend, at least, Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle/Punisher, who likes Peter so much he shoots him off the hood of his car (before Frank can curse at Peter for wrecking said car, Peter covers his mouth with a web).

When Peter begins undergoing bizarre biological changes, he reaches out to an old friend, who also doesn’t remember him, Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), hoping the brilliant scientist can help him understand what’s happening. It seems that, like an actual spider, Peter’s between life cycles and is in an extremely vulnerable state because of it.

We get a peek at Severance star Tramell Tillman here, as well as Michael Mando’s Scorpion. The cast also includes Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, The Bear‘s Liza Colon-Zayas, and Marvin Jones III, playing the gangster Tombstone.

Check out the new trailer here. Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31.
