Return of the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Despite keeping the specifics of the plot a secret, veteran Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal has suggested in the past that the narrative will delve into the consequences of Peter Parker’s decision at the end of No Way Home.

In a recent interview, Pascal stated that the film revolves around the character’s choice to abandon his identity as Peter Parker and instead fully commit to being Spider-Man. He found it challenging to be Peter Parker, so he made this decision.

Punisher and Hulk Reportedly Joining the Action

As stated by Gary Buechler of Nerdrotic during an interview with comic creator Mark Millar, the upcoming storyline of Spider-Man: Brand New Day will see Jon Bernthal revisiting his character, Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher. Bernthal has just resumed this role in Disney+’s Daredevil: Born Again and is currently working on a standalone special.

In the upcoming movie, there’s talk that the main antagonist could be the Savage Hulk, a departure from the Smart Hulk portrayed in recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films. According to Buechler and Millar, they aim to represent the Hulk more like his classic comic book counterpart known for rampages. Previous reports from The Hot Mic suggest that Spider-Man and The Punisher may clash with the Hulk. For more information on the Hulk and Punisher, check out this link.
