Spider-Man: Brand New Day Just Teased the Perfect Way to Bring Back Savage Hulk

In the anticipated film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” there’s buzz that the Hulk may transform back into his primitive form from earlier times. Recent set photos could offer hints about how this transition might occur. Actor Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner from the Marvel Cinematic Universe in “Brand New Day.” He joins a star-studded cast that includes Tom Holland, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, and others, under the direction of Destin Daniel Cretton. The Hulk’s comeback is eagerly awaited by MCU fans, as it could potentially rectify what many believe was a major error in how Marvel handled the character previously.

In 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, changing Bruce Banner into the Smart Hulk stirred up controversy because it seemed like the Hulk was being weakened in his recent portrayals, a point that critics often raised. However, this issue might be addressed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, considering photos leaked on X hint at the inclusion of the Inner Demons. This villainous gang and its leader could potentially bring back the Hulk’s wild side, a trait we haven’t seen fully since 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.

The emergence of a demonic symbol on an armored vehicle during the filming of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has fueled speculation that Mister Negative and his minions, known as the Inner Demons, may feature in the upcoming movie. Originating from Marvel Comics’ “Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 2) #547” in 2008, the Inner Demons were originally a street-level crime group dealing with drugs until they were transformed by Mister Negative into his personal armed force through martial arts training and corruption. Given Mister Negative’s power to control both Darkforce and Lightforce, there is potential for him to influence Bruce Banner within the “Brand New Day” storyline.

It’s frequently speculated that Mister Negative serves as the main adversary in the comic series “Spider-Man: Brand New Day“. Various actors, including Daniel Dae Kim, Steven Yeun, Stephen Oyoung, and Donnie Yen, have been proposed as potential candidates for the role. By harnessing both Darkforce and Lightforce, he could potentially manipulate Bruce Banner’s psyche, causing him to revert back to the ferocious Hulk we know and miss. We encountered this incarnation of the Hulk in the movies “The Incredible Hulk” (2008), “The Avengers” (2012), and “Avengers: Age of Ultron” (2015). However, since then, the Hulk has undergone significant transformations.

There’s been talk about Peter Parker’s Spider-Man (played by Holland) and Frank Castle’s Punisher (portrayed by Bernthal) joining forces to take down an aggressive Hulk terrorizing New York in the upcoming movie “Brand New Day”. Although Marvel Studios hasn’t officially announced this, it could be an exciting development for Spider-Man’s next story in the MCU, allowing him to interact with heroes he hasn’t worked with before. The villains Mister Negative and the Inner Demons, who are expected to feature in “Brand New Day”, could provide a perfect opportunity for this team-up.
