Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Trailer Just Confirmed The Two Storylines We All Thought Would Never Happen

by

The trailer for ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ suggests the movie will include storylines fans thought were impossible to see in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Tom Holland as Spider-Man. With years of anticipation for the return of this version of Spider-Man, the film is expected to be one of the year’s biggest releases.

The upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day is promising an exciting adventure, especially with characters like the Punisher and Hulk joining Peter Parker. What makes this installment particularly interesting is that it’s incorporating storylines that previously didn’t seem possible within the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Trailer Confirms Two Storylines Fans Joked About For The MCU Are On The Horizon

The trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day hints at several key plot developments for the popular hero. Most surprisingly, it includes references to storylines that comic book fans previously thought were too far-fetched to ever appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and often joked about.

The biggest concern is that Peter seems to be changing again due to the spider bite that originally gave him his powers. The trailer for Brand New Day shows him becoming even more like a spider, now able to create webs organically – even becoming wrapped in them at one point. It looks like these changes might continue to develop.

This idea strongly resembles Peter Parker becoming Man-Spider – a frightening, monstrous version of himself. In both the comics and the 90s animated series, this form is shown as a natural progression of his powers, and eventually, the “human” Peter emerges from it. The trailer for Brand New Day hints at this as well, pointing out that spiders go through three life stages, implying Peter’s evolving mutation is simply him entering the next phase of his development.

Adding to the already unusual connections, Brand New Day also relates to fan theories – some made in jest – that the Marvel Cinematic Universe would introduce Paul Rabin. Rabin is a character who, in recent comics, became Mary Jane’s long-term boyfriend as a way to create conflict between her and Spider-Man.

The trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day features a scene of MJ intimately close with another man, who gently moves her hair, while a heartbroken Peter Parker watches. This suggests the film might revisit a storyline where MJ doesn’t remember her past with Peter. Since MJ and Ned seemingly have no memory of Peter Parker’s identity as Spider-Man, it makes sense that the film could explore a romance between MJ and someone else.

Why The Two Storylines Are Perfect For This Chapter Of Spider-Man’s MCU Story

It’s surprising to see two storylines many fans thought impossible for the MCU’s Spider-Man actually happening around the same time. However, both of these plots fit well with the direction Peter Parker’s life is currently taking, making them good choices for a Spider-Man: Brand New Day adaptation.

Since Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man uses naturally produced webs in Spider-Man: No Way Home, it would logically fit for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man to develop this ability too. This could be a good way to expand Peter’s powers, show his personal growth alongside his superhero development, and even create a reason for the Hulk to show up in the story.

Adding a potential new love interest for MJ also works well, especially as Peter struggles with whether to tell MJ and Ned about their lost memories. It highlights the painful reality that if he keeps the truth from them, he’ll have to watch them move on with their lives without him.

These storylines are designed to reinforce the idea that Spider-Man is beginning a fresh chapter, while still acknowledging his history. Ideally, all the different parts of Spider-Man: Brand New Day will come together to create a compelling and connected story for the MCU’s Spider-Man, setting him up for a strong future.
