The trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released on March 18, with Tom Holland presenting it live from the Empire State Building in New York City. Fans took to Tom Holland's Instagram to express their admiration for both the actor and the film. Many viewers described the trailer as 'peak' and expressed gratitude to Holland for keeping the details under wraps until the official release.
Theories began circulating almost immediately after the trailer's release. One fan speculated whether Jeffrey Wright's Watcher was narrating and if the film is set within the What If...? timeline. Another pointed out that Zendaya's MJ was still wearing her broken black dahlia necklace.
This fourth installment of Spider-Man features both new and returning characters, with fans excited to see familiar faces like the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Punisher (Jon Bernthal) on the big screen. Notably, this marks Frank Castle's first appearance in a film rather than a television series. However, the biggest mystery remains: why was Sadie Sink absent from the trailer? The Stranger Things actress is set to join the MCU in a significant role, yet the producers are keeping her character's identity under wraps.
