For the cast and crew of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s something of a running joke that Spider-Man actor Tom Holland is terrible at keeping secrets. Because of this, everyone used to be reportedly cautious about what they told the actor for fear that he might blurt something out at the worst possible time. In recent years, Holland has seemingly gotten better about keeping secrets under his cowl, and his thwips (er, lips) are usually sealed about Marvel spoilers. Unfortunately, that doesn’t really matter when someone else is doing the spoiling. Case in point: the latest trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day just got leaked online!
Originally, this trailer was supposed to release on June 17th, so getting to see it (albeit in crappy, low-resolution) over a week early is a pretty big deal. This trailer is also notable for going beyond hype and revealing some major plot points about the movie, some of which have huge ramifications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve got a full breakdown, but don’t forget that this is going to be full of spoilers from beginning to end. If you’d rather be completely surprised when the film comes out, be sure to avert your eyes. As for the rest of you true believers, keep reading to discover every juicy new secret about Spider-Man: Brand New Day!
What’s Next For Spider-Man?
What happens in the leaked trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day? It starts out with Spider-Man fighting some Hand ninjas inside a prison. Perhaps what is most notable about this is that it reveals that a climactic moment in an earlier trailer was a bit of misdirection. Remember that wild shot of Spider-Man and the ninjas flying at each other hundreds of feet in the air? This leaked trailer confirms that this shot takes place inside a prison and not high above the streets of New York City.
Soon after this, we see that Spider-Man now has the kind of organic webbing made famous by the Sam Raimi trilogy of Spidey films. He talks to Bruce Banner about suppressing DNA, and Bruce confirms that he has suppressed his own thanks to a special device that keeps him from Hulking out. Afterward, the trailer speeds up, and we get plenty of action scenes, including Spider-Man fighting the Hulk. The Hulk (bigger than ever in his iconic Grey Hulk form) appears to be mind-controlled by Sadie Sink’s character; while she is not named in the trailer, some think this moment is proof that she will be playing Jean Grey.
How Spidey Got His Groove Back
There’s more action as well as some narration by the late, great Aunt May about (what else?) the relationship between power and responsibility. We get a glimpse of Spider-Man fighting ninjas with a kind of web tornado. Oh, and a really adorable scene of Spider-Man carrying Mary Jane (who still doesn’t know who he is) out of danger, just like before. There’s some major peril, with what looks like a building falling down on Spider-Man. But the leaked trailer ends with a fun, comedic moment in which Spider-Man is about to fight a prison security guard; rather than jump right to the fisticuffs, though, our hero begins talking about how important stretching is.
While heads will likely roll that it got leaked so early, this trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has successfully gotten fans hyped for the movie. Everyone is eager to see Grey Hulk onscreen and even more eager to see him throw down with everyone’s favorite web-head. Plus, while Sadie Sink’s identity hasn’t been officially confirmed, her apparent use of telepathic powers has X-Men fans convinced she’s the new Jean Grey. Throw in some quirky comedy and exciting action scenes with fan-favorite characters like Punisher, and this looks like one movie Marvel fans won’t want to miss. It may drop earlier after the leak, but otherwise, the trailer will be officially released on June 17. Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will swing its way into theaters on July 31.
