Peter Parker’s Spidey abilities look to be changing.
Spider-Man, your friendly neighborhood superhero, is finally back.
It’s been over five years since Tom Holland’s Peter Parker last appeared as the webslinger in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” and a lot has changed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe since then. (10 movies, for those keeping track.) But Sony Pictures unveiled the first trailer for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” on Wednesday, and it looks like our hero has been working full-time as a masked crimefighter while remaining an anonymous entity to people he cares about the most.
“Sometimes Spider-Man has to do the hard thing, even if it breaks Peter Parker’s heart,” Peter says in a voiceover in the new video. According to the film’s logline, it has been four years since the events of “No Way Home,” in which Peter was forced to make everyone forget who he is in order to rescue the world. “Brand New Day” will see Spider-Man confront “one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.”
The clip depicts Peter reuniting with former best friends MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon), who still have no idea who he is. But, like everyone else in New York, they appear to be familiar with Spider-Man.
Among those Spidey encounters in the trailer is Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal), popularly known as the Punisher. However, Spider-Man and the anti-hero from “Daredevil: Born Again” do not appear to be on friendly terms. The trailer also shows Spider-Man confronting Scorpion (Michael Mando), Boomerang (whose casting has yet to be disclosed), the Hand, and a presumably invisible antagonist.
Peter is also seen seeking out Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) in his non-Hulk form to figure out what’s wrong with his own body. Spider-Man’s DNA looks to be mutating, as seen by his capacity to create organic webs, which is concerning. The trailer ends with a cryptic voiceover (which sounds like Keith David) that teases what it might signify.
“Spiders have three life cycles,” the unknown voice explains.
