Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Sony
Sony has had trouble keeping many key elements of Spider-Man: Brand New Day under wraps, from its added cast members to its initial trailer leaking well before release. Now, it has suffered a second trailer leak, this one worse than the first.
The problem is that the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer is in incredibly high quality, and despite a red X and “property of Sony” stamped on it, is practically ready for release, it seems. I won’t post it here, not even screenshots, but it’s currently spreading on social media like a virus, and Sony is no doubt going to be cracking down hard on those sharing soon, so beware.
But if you do want to know about it, some highlights:
- There’s an extended conversation with Bruce Banner about repressing mutated DNA, as we know that Peter is dealing with Man-Spider-type evolutions taking over his body this time around.
- We see more of the Sadie Sink-based threat where she has the ability to freeze and/or take over the minds of anyone except Peter, it’s said. There has been endless theorizing that these powers, plus her red hair, indicate that she’s playing Jean Grey from the X-Men, though her role as the Big Bad of the story seems extremely odd, if so. All this time, and across two trailers now, her part has remained under wraps, which is highly unusual for a superhero film like this, as normally such a thing would be used as an extra audience draw.
- Peter is back in MJ and Ned’s lives, with Ned on a mission to unmask who Spider-Man really is. Peter has to reestablish these relationships, starting from scratch, and there’s no indication that the last film’s memory wipe will be undone.
- In terms of the action, we see the rumored appearance of Savage Hulk, with Banner no longer being “Smart Hulk” the way we’ve seen him in many past appearances these last few years. He’s breaking through Spidey’s webs and sonic clapping him out of buildings.
- It does seem like The Punisher is going to be more than just a cameo in one action scene or another, as a scene shows Peter turning to him for help as the “only one” he can go to.
I don’t think there’s anything all that groundbreaking shown here, as most of these we already knew in some form. Savage Hulk was leaked a long time ago, and the biggest mystery remains Sadie Sink’s villain. Tombstone is also supposed to be in here, somewhere, though he hasn’t been featured unless I missed him.
If this trailer is already available in high quality, it stands to reason it may be released officially very soon, so you might want to just stay tuned for that instead of hunting down the leak.
