Spider-Man: Brand New Day Stills Reveal Scorpion vs. DODC; Tom Holland Talks R-Rated Spidey Team-Up

Another new look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been revealed, this time showcasing The Scorpion in action, the Department of Damage Control, and a wounded web-slinger following a clash with The Hand.

We didn't get a new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer today, but after some must-see promo art of Tombstone, some low-res stills from the movie have now been shared on social media.

To start with, there's a shot of Tom Holland's Spider-Man meeting with the Department of Damage Control's William Metzger, played by Severance star Tramell Tillman. We also find the web-slinger with one of The Hand's shuriken embedded in his shoulder.

Next up is Michael Mando's Scorpion. In the midst of attacking a member of the DODC, his tail is quite clearly not the same one featured in the artwork mentioned above. That either means he's getting two suits or that—and this is the most likely option—something changed during the design process.

Finally, we have Jon Bernthal suited up as The Punisher and Peter Parker meeting with MCU veteran Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner.

Whether Sony Pictures gets a new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer into theaters by this weekend to play in front of Masters of the Universe remains to be seen. That's the hope, anyway, and with this sudden surge in promotional material, another sneak peek must be imminent.

Talking to Empire Online, Holland admitted that he's given some thought to pairing Spider-Man up with Frank Castle in a more mature setting than his PG-13 franchise.

"I would love to pop up in one of [Punisher’s] shows," he told the site. "Let’s see what an R-rated version of Spider-Man looks like. I’m so grateful for Jon for taking the leap and being a part of the film, and I would love to repay the favour."

Bernthal was also on hand and reflected on them both auditioning for their respective Marvel roles while working on 2017's Pilgrimage. "I really wasn’t familiar with the Punisher. I wasn’t a huge comic-book guy. Tom was really the one that said, ‘Man, this character’s so great,’ and he explained it to me."

Check out these new Spider-Man: Brand New Day stills in the X posts below.

Following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way HomeSpider-Man: Brand New Day begins a brand new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult and living alone after erasing himself and the memories of him from those he loves.

In a New York that no longer knows his name, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting his city as Spider-Man full-time. But as the demands on him grow, he is put under increasing pressure. This triggers an unexpected physical change that threatens his existence, while a strange wave of crime emerges - and gives rise to one of the most dangerous threats he has ever faced.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo. 

The movie is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O'Connor.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31, 2026.

Disney should at least have the balls to brighten up that skull logo

Hope Jackal isn’t the main villain, this film is already overstuffed, they should save him for a fifth installment and adapt an ABRIDGED version of the Clone Saga or Spider-Island.

@soberchimera - I think the mysterious force possessing people is the main villain. That character seems to be inspired by the Queen, who the Jackal worked with in Spider-Island.

@Gnostic - that was only obvious thing trailers has shown us who isn’t main villain and mystery person jumping from body to body

i have a lot of confidence in this film given how much of it has remained under wraps.

also DDC's comment about making this being a hugely gratifying experience.

All I know is that Scorpion's tail looks MUCH better in that still than it does in the promo art and toys.

I can't wait for the damn movie man. It seriously looks like it's going to be a contender for the best live action Spider-Man to date. I know, I know, the first 2 Raimi movies are iconic. My parents let me skip school to go see the first 12pm showing of the day for both of them as a kid, but they really do start to show their age these days. I will always have a big spot in my heart for them, but I can't wait to see where this one lands.

@OneMoreTime - Apparently Amazon Prime members can see the movie early, similar to what WB did with Superman.

I don’t think we’ll ever see an R-rated Spiderman, just the PG13 and rated XxX Spooterman

Once again: The actual Punisher would have a field day with "current fans" who think he'd side with.

Scorpion tail looks better but still no mask is disconcerting.

Cool pics!!.

If the place Spidey is being scanned is a prison that I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the same one we see the Hand & the tank attack tbh.

Anyway , Scorpion looks great imo…

Also , if Trammell Tillman is playing William Metzger who was an anti mutant activist in the comics then I wouldn’t be surprised if Sadie is indeed Jean that he’s another antagonist in the film masquerading as a good guy hence Spidey shaking hands with him since he doesn’t know his true nature (granted , Marvel has also heavily reimagined characters as well so this could be another case of that too)!!.

First marvel movie I’m legitimately excited for since No Way Home.

I dunno, I feel like I should be genuinely hyped for this movie, but I’m not for some reason. There’s several movies I’m actually more excited for. And Man-Spider as a plot line?!?! 😬Not exactly something fans have been clamoring for. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was not losing it over previous looks at Scorpion’s tail like some users were but this does look immensely better.
