Marvel has released the first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking the return of Tom Holland as Peter Parker after a five-year gap since Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The film brings back Hulk, Punisher, and Scorpion, while introducing Sadie Sink to the MCU. The story focuses on Peter’s isolation, new powers, and a major new threat ahead of the film’s July 31 release.
The film picks up four years after the events of No Way Home, which ended with Doctor Strange casting a spell that erased Peter Parker’s identity from the world. In the new trailer, Peter is shown living alone, watching old videos of MJ and Ned, who no longer remember him. He carries a note explaining why he chose to let everyone forget, saying the sacrifice was the only way to stop something terrible from happening.
The footage shows Peter unexpectedly crossing paths with MJ again, though she believes they are meeting for the first time. The emotional moment hints that the film will focus heavily on Peter’s isolation and the cost of being Spider-Man.
The trailer also confirms that Mark Ruffalo returns as Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk, marking his first major Marvel movie appearance since Avengers: Endgame. In the preview, Peter turns to Banner for help after discovering that his DNA is mutating, a storyline that could introduce a new evolution of Spider-Man’s powers.
Another surprise in the trailer is the return of Jon Bernthal as Punisher, also known as Frank Castle. The character was previously part of Marvel’s Netflix shows, including Daredevil, and his appearance suggests the film may have a more grounded and intense tone.
Fans also spotted Michael Mando returning as Scorpion, a villain first teased in Spider-Man: Homecoming but never fully explored. His reappearance in the trailer hints that the movie could finally pay off that storyline.
Adding to the speculation, Sadie Sink, known for Stranger Things, is making her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in the film. Her role has not been revealed, and fans have been guessing which character she might play since her casting was announced.
According to the official synopsis, Peter is now fully on his own, dedicating his life to protecting New York as Spider-Man while struggling with the consequences of losing everyone he loves. As crime increases and his powers begin to change, he faces one of the most dangerous threats of his life.
Marvel built anticipation for the trailer with an unusual marketing campaign, releasing tiny clips throughout the day on fan accounts before finally dropping the full preview. The strategy helped drive online excitement ahead of the film’s release.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, continuing the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and bringing Peter Parker back into the spotlight with a story that appears more emotional, more dangerous, and more personal than ever.
