Tom Holland Shares More Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set Photos (And Raises a Big Plot Question)

After unveiling Spider-Man’s updated suit yesterday, Tom Holland shared additional photos from the set of “Spider-Man: A Fresh Start” on social media to give fans a closer look. On the first day of filming, he posted two pictures showing himself in costume and on wires, along with director Destin Daniel Cretton. These images provide a clear view of the new suit and leave us wondering about some details. Specifically, why is Spider-Man standing atop a tank, and who is operating the enigmatic vehicle?

It’s been confirmed that the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is set to feature a diverse array of characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Among these, we now know that Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk and the lesser-known villain Scorpion (played by Michale Mando) will make an appearance. However, what has truly caught our attention is the inclusion of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, who is transitioning from TV to the big screen for this role. While specific details about Bernthal’s character involvement in the film are yet to be fully disclosed, rumors suggest that he might be seen operating a tank in the movie. Could these images shared by Holland from the set possibly hint at this?

At present, Bernthal is busy in New York, preparing for the upcoming Marvel Studios and Disney+ Punisher special. Yet, it’s been reported that a substitute actor might take his place until he begins work on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This suggests that we may not catch glimpses of Bernthal on set for some time. However, if whispers are true, we might soon see the stand-in for Bernthal’s Punisher character on set, particularly since Holland is seen suspended over a mysterious tank by wires.

Brand New Day” is the fourth movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe featuring Spider-Man. The story picks up after “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” where Peter Parker chose to let everyone forget his identity. Now, Peter is trying to start anew while still fulfilling his duty as Spider-Man. It’s unclear yet how characters like Hulk, Scorpion, and the Punisher will factor into “Brand New Day.” However, it’s guaranteed that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is in for a challenging adventure, especially with Jon Bernthal portraying the Punisher.

Spider-Man: A Fresh Start

This upcoming movie titled Spider-Man: A Fresh Start is being steered by Destin Daniel Cretton, based on a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. As of the moment, only a few cast members have been officially confirmed for this film.
