The trailer’s closing sequence features Peter squaring off against a horde of red-clad ninjas that seem to be members of The Hand, the mystical criminal organization most recently seen tormenting Daredevil (Charlie Cox) throughout Netflix’s Defenders saga. However, the digital work in several frames has an unfinished quality that resembles a very specific moment in Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s marketing campaign. In that film’s trailer, Marvel’s visual effects team digitally erased Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s respective Spider-Men from the climactic battle against the gathered villains, preserving one of the MCU’s most celebrated surprise reveals for the theatrical experience. If the same methodology is being applied to Brand New Day, the Hand sequence may not be a solo confrontation at all, and the trailer could simply be deleting whoever is fighting alongside Peter on that rooftop.
Who Is Fighting The Hand Together with Spider-Man In Brand New Day?
Brand New Day is arriving with one of the most crowded villain rosters in Holland’s run as Spider-Man. Beyond Scorpion and The Hand, Tombstone (Marvin Jones III) is confirmed for the film, though notably absent from the trailer entirely, while Boomerang and Tarantula are showing up in the marketing material. The footage also teases a mind-control element, with an unidentified figure apparently bending other characters to their will. Combined with Peter’s forced biological evolution into a form with organic webbing, those details could be pointing to the Queen, a super-soldier villain with telepathic powers who Marvel Comics used to transform Peter Parker and give him organic webs in the comics. On top of all that, Mark Rufallo is returning as Bruce Banner, and possibly the Hulk, and Sadie Sink is playing a mysterious character rumored to be Jean Grey.
