New Spider-Man Rumor Has MCU Fans Losing Their Minds Over A Brutal Comics-Accurate Twist

by

The upcoming Avengers: Doomsday is already generating excitement with the release of a new trailer featuring Captain America, but Marvel fans won’t have to wait long for another superhero fix. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man movie, will hit theaters next summer. Holland’s Spider-Man has often teamed up with major characters from the Marvel universe, and this film continues that trend. This time, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo are returning, and there’s talk of another actor joining the cast who could signal a storyline pulled straight from the comic books.

Sources say Rosario Dawson will return as Claire Temple in the upcoming series Brand New Day. This has led fans to wonder if the show will recreate a famous and brutal scene from the comics: The Punisher carrying an injured Spider-Man and calling for help. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) jokingly asked how severely Spider-Man will be beaten up in the series.

What Claire Temple’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day Role Could Be

Fans are right to worry about Peter Parker’s health. Considering Claire Temple’s history in Marvel’s Netflix shows – she’s a talented nurse who’s treated heroes like Daredevil and Luke Cage – her appearance in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day likely means someone needs medical attention. Just as Peter sought legal help at the start of Spider-Man: No Way Home (which led to a surprise appearance by Matt Murdock), Claire makes the most sense as the medic Peter would turn to. Costumed heroes often prefer to keep things private, and Claire offers a discreet alternative to a hospital visit.

I’ve been following the buzz around Claire’s role in the upcoming Brand New Day movie, and while details are scarce, as a longtime comic fan, I can definitely see some potential storylines they might pull from. Specifically, I’m thinking about the “Civil War” arc where Punisher actually rescues Spider-Man from a beating by Jack O’Lantern and Jester, and brings him to Captain America for help. It’s unlikely the movie will copy that scene exactly, but with Jon Bernthal now in the cast, it feels like a strong possibility they’ll at least draw inspiration from it. Fans have been hoping to see that iconic image recreated on screen ever since Bernthal was announced, and honestly, I’m right there with them!

With so many potential villains appearing in the new Brand New Day storyline, and the possible return of Savage Hulk, Spider-Man is likely to face some serious challenges. We might see things go wrong when Spider-Man teams up with the Punisher to fight crime – Tombstone is already confirmed to be involved. Or perhaps Spider-Man gets in over his head fighting the Hulk and needs the Punisher’s help. However it happens, there’s an opportunity to create a powerful, dramatic moment similar to the “Civil War” event, but one that feels natural within the more grounded, street-level story Marvel is building. This won’t just be a moment for fans; it will serve the story.

If Claire appears in the movie, it’ll be fascinating to see how her scene fits into the story, and how vulnerable Spider-Man is. Following the impactful ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it seems Peter is struggling emotionally in Brand New Day. Rumors suggest MJ has moved on, and Peter is secretly watching Ned and MJ, even though they’re not speaking. He might not be thinking straight while trying to protect New York, and a conversation with Claire could be a crucial moment, forcing him to get his life back on track.
