Disney Drops Spider-Man Trailer 44 Days Early, Revealing Hulk Fight and Peter's Mutation

3 articles · Updated · Forbes · Jun 17

Summary

  • Disney released a new "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" trailer ahead of its July 31 debut after leaks spread widely, offering the clearest look yet at the film's central conflict.
  • Peter Parker is shown undergoing a full Man-Spider mutation, switching from mechanical web-shooters to organic webs and appearing to lose control during a fight with Scorpion.
  • Bruce Banner is brought in to help, but the trailer instead reveals Spider-Man battling Savage Hulk, who appears to be under the mysterious villain's psychic control.
  • Frank Castle also looks more central than earlier footage suggested, with MJ apparently urging the Punisher to help Peter when he has nowhere else to turn.
  • The marketing still withholds the villain's identity, though the trailer reinforces the film's detective-story setup as Marvel moves toward introducing the X-Men in its post-Doomsday phase.
