Spider-Man: Brand New Day: The Punisher Really Doesn't Want To Fight The Hulk In New TV Spot

Two new TV spots for Spider-Man: Brand New Day have been released, showcasing a fun scene between the wall-crawler and The Punisher, along with a humorous scene involving some schoolkids.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a little over two weeks away, and a new TV spot from the movie shows The Punisher—hilariously—admitting that he'd rather not have to face The Hulk.

Interestingly, Frank Castle suggests that Spidey "contain" the Green Goliath while he tracks down the "source" and takes it down. The anti-hero is likely referring to whoever is controlling Bruce Banner, which may explain rumours that The Punisher's mission in Spider-Man: Brand New Day involves Sadie Sink's mystery character.

There's also a great shot of Spider-Man fighting The Hulk and using a web line to drag Frank along with him (The Punisher unloads some bullets into the Jade Giant, seemingly with little success). 

In a second TV spot, the focus is more on the humour in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The wall-crawler is dressed in a hospital gown and preparing to get a shot in front of some schoolkids. However, as his powers evolve, the needle cannot pierce his skin.

This time, it's a little girl who says the "spiders have three life cycles" line. In the first teaser for the movie, it was reeled off by The Princess and the Frog star Keith David. Perhaps he was only hired for a voiceover role, specifically for the trailer, to build intrigue? If so, there go those Jackal theories.

While it hasn't been 100% confirmed, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to have a Hall H panel at this month's San Diego Comic-Con. If so, we'd bet that a final trailer is released then.

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it's a Brand New Day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control.

But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

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. Executive producers include Louis D'Esposito and David Cain. 

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

I appreciate that kind of humor with the punisher..it fits his character quite nicely while still being comedic. And I got a little wave of nostalgia with that shot of the hulk. Reminded me of this shot from avengers.

this is as good a place as any, maybe it'll be addressed in the movie, probably wont.

If no one remembers Peter Parker, so he basically never existed, who is he? Do his fingerprints come up as no match? How does he have a bank account? We know he has a crappy apartment, I guess he's just paying cash? He's living the life of an illegal immigrant with no ties to anything?

@SATW42 - I don't think he just "doesn't exist" I think the spell just erased the memory people have of him. So he is still Peter Parker with a social security and what not. Nobody knows who he is or have any memories of him prior to the reintroduction he will have to do for every person.

For example the picture of him and Stark is probably laughed off as Tony taking a picture with some kid and Pepper and Happy have no idea who he is. Happy's Apartment being trashed is probably in his memory a battle that Spider-Man had and that battle led to the death of May.

This like that would be remembered differently just not with "Peter" as a catalyst.

@SonOfAGif - My response to that logic is and always will be, is that it's a good thing his mom wasn't alive. "well gee, i remember being pregnant and giving birth, I just don't remember to who!"

@SonOfAGif - or Happy should remember May had a nephew even if he doesn't remember who. Happy asks who he is and Peter says "oh I was her nephew" and Happy should remember that. Happy kind of breaks most logic of the spell, UNLESS Peter Parker was "erased"

@SATW42 - People who forgot who he is can relearn. The spell doesn't keep people from learning who he is. It's just a worldwide memory reboot on Peter being Spider-Man.

SATW42 - 7/13/2026, 11:48 AM
@LSHF - That's really not how it worked. the original spell was to forget he was spider-man, the ending spell was everyone would forget Peter Parker, period.

@SonOfAGif - also, and I admittedly just stumbled on this, under this logic, EDITH, KAREN or FRIDAY should remember Peter. They are strictly data. If physical media isn't affected, data shouldn't be either.

LSHF - 7/13/2026, 4:47 PM
@SATW42 - I understand, but people can relearn who he is. There's nothing stopping that.

SonOfAGif - 7/13/2026, 8:41 PM
@SATW42 - I don't think the programs forgot he was Peter at all. But they are AI and highly intelligent. So I would imagine if they watched the battle data or were present in his suit they would know what happened and would remember him by their data but wouldn't expose his secret identity.
SATW42
SATW42 - 7/14/2026, 11:04 AM
@SonOfAGif - it's not about exposing, because it isn't secret to someone like Pepper. If she were to put on RESCUE, whatever ai she uses would identify him, and since all of tony's ai's are conversational and ask questions, it would be absolutely baffled when Pepper says she doesn't remember him. If media isn't effected and it floods pepper with proof of his connection to tony, it would absolutely break her brain that she just "forgot" him. The only way you don't have these breaking moments, is by having all knowledge of his existence, records, everything wiped, meaning spiderman is now nobody. Cause it's either everything is gone, or everything isn't gone like photos and stuff, because that's data, and that's what all of Tony's ai is, which even though he has a new suit, peter still has karen somewhere.

@SATW42 - Post Endgame we have had no information if Pepper wore the Rescue suit again. And whose to say that Pepper didn't return to the California branch of Stark Industries with Morgan? There are a lot of scenarios of which the spell shouldn't apply but until we see one of those scenarios it's just fan explanations at this point.
