News Spider-Man: Brand New Day Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Is Full of Growing Pains and Other Villains Spider-Man: He’s just like us! (Lightly stalking his ex via social media) By Molly Templeton | Published on March 18, 2026 Comment 0 Share New Share Spiders, according to an unseen Keith David in the brand-new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, have three life cycles. Peter Parker (Tom Holland) seems to be between two of his. This is a vulnerable time, and his DNA may be mutating, which—Dr. Banner (Mark Ruffalo) tells him—would be very dangerous. (Banner does manage to make “dangerously mutating DNA” sound kind of fun, though.) But can Peter Parker focus on just one problem at a time? No. Peter and a perfectly grumpy Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) seem to be fighting a tank, and the ninja gang, the Hand, is hanging out in fancy red robes, and there appears to be someone, or something, jumping around from body to body. So, yeah. Dangerous time. Brand New Day picks up in the wake of No Way Home, when poor Peter had to make a choice to save the world—with the consequence that no one remembers him. As is inevitable, this leads to some awkward encounters with his once-girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and bestie Ned (Jacob Batalon), who are now freshmen at MIT. How Peter finds time to angst in around the plethora of villains that turn up here, one can only imagine. Along with the Hand and the mysterious body-hopper, Scorpion (Michael Mando) is here, as is Tombstone (Marvin Jones III), and somebody playing Tarantula. We have had Spider-movies that are overstuffed with villains before; let’s hope this isn’t one of those. To be fair, it doesn’t look like it. There’s a lot of charm in this trailer, and a lot of mystery. Severance superstar Tramell Tillman pops up for a single line. It is suggested that the body-hopping may be orchestrated by someone in a hood, which immediately led to a lot of speculation that the unseen Sadie Sink is playing the telepathic X-Man Jean Grey. It’s also still unclear who The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas is playing. Tom Holland has promised this Spider-Man will go old-school, and given the references to the animated ’90s Spider-Man cartoon being bandied about among Reactor staffers, it seems to be succeeding—so far. Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) from a script by returning writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. It swings into theaters July 31.[end-mark] The post <i>Spider-Man: Brand New Day</i> Trailer Is Full of Growing Pains and Other Villains appeared first on Reactor.
