- Another new teaser Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been revealed
- The Korean TV spot shows more of the titular hero’s battle with the Hulk
- It also appears to spoil the return of another of the webslinger’s enemies
Another fresh TV spot Spider-Man: Brand New Day has given us another look at the titular hero’s upcoming battle against the Hulk.
The 30-second teaser, which you can see below, was originally released in South Korea, but has since been redistributed by several outlets, including Discussing Film. And even though it contains several clips we’ve already seen Spider-Man 4‘s first teaser and Brand new days official trailer, the last five seconds of footage are dedicated to the aforementioned battle between Peter Parker and Bruce Banner’s alter-egos.

Granted, this is all but the briefest glimpse of what is expected to be one of the Marvel movie’s jewelry scenes. Nevertheless, there are a few important things we can glean from this latest sizzle reel — including the potential return of another Spider-Man villain we haven’t seen since 2016’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Potentially major spoilers immediately follow before Spider-Man 4so turn back now if you don’t want to know anything else.
On the villain tease front, it looks like Shocker may be part of the Marvel Phase 6 movie’s already stacked rogues gallery.
In the comics, this antagonistic individual wears mechanical gloves that can electrocute and/or stun people. For his live-action debut in Homecomingthe first iteration of Shocker was played by Logan Marshall-Green. However, after he was killed by Michael Keaton’s Adrian Toomes/The Vulture, the Shocker mantle was inherited by Bokeem Woodbine’s Herman Schultz. Incidentally, Schultz is the only person who goes by the Shocker alias in the source material.
But I digress. Brand new day‘s latest TV spot reveals that Tom Holland’s eponymous hero will use one of Shocker’s towels to try to subdue the Hulk, who for reasons still unclear has embarked on another rampage through New York City.
Does this mean we will actually see Woodbine appear in this Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) flick? Or will Shocker only make a split-second cameo as part of a wider montage in the film’s opening sequence that shows Spidey fighting and defeating many of his enemies? The latter would explain why Spidey has one of his gloves in his possession, especially if Spider-Man secretly confiscated it for future use.
The other interesting thing to note about this TV spot is that the wallcrawler will not tackle the Hulk on his own.
In fact, at the 0:10 mark, there’s another blink and you’ll miss that clip of Spider-Man fighting the big, green, bad machine. Pause the teaser at the right spot and you’ll see a gun being fired from an unusual angle.
With a little editing trickery (read: turn up the brightness on your screen), you’ll be able to clearly see Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle/The Punisher lying on the floor as he takes a ride on the Hulk. Frank clearly didn’t get the memo about the Hulk’s impenetrable skin…
So will Castle join the fray to help Spidey put an end to the Hulk’s rampage? Not according to a leaked excerpt from an upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day art book.
Per X/Twitter fan account BuiltFromSmash, “[The] The Punisher eventually becomes embroiled in Spider-Man and Hulk’s battle—not because he’s hunting either of them, but because his own mission collides with theirs.”
What exactly does that mean? I can’t say for sure. But with rumors circulating online for months that Castle is protecting Sadie Sink’s mysterious character in the Spider-Man 4and her apparent involvement in purposefully forcing Banner to Hulk out, I wouldn’t be surprised if all of this is connected somehow. Either way, let’s hope that Spider-Man and the Hulk’s duel ends amicably and recreates a very specific scene from Marvel Comics that fans want to see.
In any case, before it arrives on July 29, 30 or 31 (depending on where you live), find out everything we know so far about Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
