Latest Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Puts Peter Parker Through the Wringer With Mutating Powers and Forgotten Friends

Years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latest trailer shows Tom Holland’s Peter Parker still living in the shadow of that memory-erasing spell. No one knows who he is anymore, not even his closest friends. The footage leans into that isolation while cranking up the personal stakes and physical chaos for the July 31 release.

The new teaser opens on a gritty New York City street, with Michael Mando’s Scorpion charging at Peter out of nowhere, dressed in a comic book-inspired outfit. The two engage in a massive, primal street battle. When Peter grips Scorpion’s tail, his eyes go completely black, a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it warning that he’s losing his sanity. Next thing you know, he’s flinging Scorpion into a car, gasping as if he’s losing his hold on reality.

Then Peter’s mechanical web-shooters just fall apart at the wrists, and biological webbing shoots out in all directions. He’s swinging through traffic in a frenzy, catches a bird along the way, and then crashes into a sad couple getting married. It’s a cross between a wild, street-level disaster movie and a body horror film. Peter then runs to Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) to figure out what’s going on with his DNA. Banner pulls out a device designed to keep the Hulk hidden and gives him a harsh warning: if Peter ever discovers him without that ‘thing,’ he should get out of there as soon as possible, since this hints at a whole bunch of gamma-powered problems waiting to burst.

The action kicks up again when Spider-Man clashes with the Hand, as the ninjas make a bigger mark in the MCU this time around. He’s spinning a giant web tornado across their ranks, and the skyscrapers behind him are crashing down. Then, just when you think it can’t get any wilder, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher appears in his combat van, seemingly stepping in to save MJ at one point, adding to the drama. The trailer then turns nuclear, with the most dramatic escalation yet occurring as a huge Grey Hulk appears, apparently under mental control. Peter merely stares up at the item and says, “Wait, what?” The Hulk became bigger?’ Then the two go toe-to-toe in a battle for the ages, destroying the city.

This second trailer takes the first and turns it up a level, really going deep into Peter’s mental struggle and the consequences of his lost identity. It still includes some street-level action, as well as larger MCU crossovers such as the Hulk and Punisher, but Sadie Sink’s role remains unknown for the time being. We have the famed Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm, working with Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who are back on writing responsibilities this time, and newcomer Justin Kuritzkes.
