[0:00] Marvel and Sony just released a series
[0:01] of trailers for Spider-Man: Brand New
[0:03] Day and we're here to break down all of
[0:04] the Easter eggs, references, and little
[0:06] things you might have missed in these
[0:07] trailers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
[0:09] Welcome back to ScreenCrush. I'm Ryan
[0:11] Arey and Brand New Day just released an
[0:13] awesome second trailer, but now they're
[0:14] also rolling out TV spots with brand new
[0:17] footage featuring new villains, the
[0:18] Avengers, and even a gray Hulk. In
[0:20] previous trailers for the movie, we have
[0:22] seen Spider-Man fighting a series of
[0:24] low-level villains like Boomerang and
[0:26] the Tarantula and also recreating
[0:27] classic comic book covers. That theme
[0:29] continues here with this show Spider-Man
[0:31] fighting Ramrod recreating this cover of
[0:33] The Amazing Spider-Man 221 where Ramrod
[0:36] is actually crashing into Empire State
[0:38] University, which is the school where
[0:40] Bruce Banner is now teaching. In the
[0:42] comics, Ramrod was the foreman of an oil
[0:44] rig and was injured on the job. He
[0:45] received cybernetic enhancement from a
[0:47] corrupt attorney called Kerwin
[0:48] Broderick, essentially turning him into
[0:50] a cyborg. Ramrod was then blackmailed
[0:52] with a poison inside of his body that
[0:54] upon release would kill him, giving him
[0:56] no choice but to do as he was told by
[0:58] Broderick. This led to Ramrod facing off
[1:00] against heroes like Spider-Man before he
[1:02] was eventually defeated by Daredevil and
[1:04] Black Widow. Now, a character like
[1:06] Ramrod who was given cybernetic
[1:07] enhancements and is being blackmailed
[1:09] and controlled by a corrupt individual
[1:11] adds fuel to the fire for the theory
[1:12] that Coulson had in this video on the
[1:14] channel discussing how the DODC is
[1:16] behind all of these new villains
[1:18] including the Scorpion. But I thought
[1:19] Damage Control was the good guys. Well,
[1:21] we think that they are using villains to
[1:23] cause damage for Damage Control to,
[1:25] well, control and thus it would justify
[1:27] the agency's existence. In the show
[1:30] One-Man, we saw that Control's biggest
[1:32] opponent wasn't super villains, it was
[1:34] trying to get government funding. Now,
[1:36] in this shot where we see Spider-Man
[1:38] jumping off the top of this building,
[1:39] which is a slightly different version of
[1:41] this scene that we already got in the
[1:43] first trailer, you'll notice that Spidey
[1:44] is doing a different flip this time.
[1:46] Instead of a sideways roll, he's doing a
[1:48] bit of a backflip. Now, if you look
[1:50] behind him in the skyline, you can see
[1:52] Avengers Tower, the brand new fully
[1:54] renovated version that has been under
[1:56] construction. The construction is now
[1:58] complete and according to those who saw
[2:00] the Avengers Doomsday trailer at
[2:01] CinemaCon, this is what the Avengers
[2:03] Tower will look like in that film. Now,
[2:05] the last time we saw Avengers Tower was
[2:06] here in Daredevil Born Again where we
[2:08] saw it sporting this new spike-like arch
[2:10] behind it, which can be seen here in
[2:12] this shot as well. Here we see Peter in
[2:14] a classroom full of young kids showing
[2:15] that even superheroes like Spider-Man
[2:17] need to get their vaccines and that
[2:19] shots are nothing to be scared of. I'm
[2:21] sure though that J. Jonah Jameson would
[2:23] probably disagree. As the nurse goes to
[2:24] give him his shot, the needle bends. It
[2:27] can't break through his skin. Now,
[2:28] Spider-Man has never been impervious to
[2:30] getting stabbed.
[2:31] >> I've been stabbed Oh god. [sighs]
[2:33] >> So, why is a needle now unable to enter
[2:36] his skin? Well, according to this little
[2:38] girl,
[2:38] >> It's probably spider puberty.
[2:40] >> Hey, hey, hey, come on. And she's not
[2:42] wrong. Peter is going through some kind
[2:44] of mutation where his powers are
[2:45] advancing. Tom Holland is even quoted as
[2:48] having used the term spider puberty when
[2:50] pitching this concept for the film. Now,
[2:52] our own Colton Ausburn is currently
[2:53] working on a video that will be hitting
[2:55] the channel soon where we discuss what
[2:56] secret villain Holland could be
[2:57] referring to in this recent interview.
[2:59] >> The villain that we have in this new
[3:01] movie, which is still very much a
[3:03] secret.
[3:04] >> And without giving it away, we think
[3:06] that villain could be responsible for
[3:07] Peter's skin becoming impenetrable. Now,
[3:10] I
[3:11] >> Oh no, a tree fell down and blocked the
[3:13] door to the store. No one can get in.
[3:15] We're ruined.
[3:16] >> Uh-huh, check this out.
[3:19] I just got this mini chainsaw for free
[3:21] and now I'm going to show you guys how
[3:23] to get your own free stuff from Temu,
[3:25] the sponsor of this video. Guys, this is
[3:27] not a scam, not a hustle, this is just

[3:41] into the search bar, not at checkout.
[3:44] And then you pick from Temu's most
[3:45] popular products like the handheld
[3:47] chainsaw. And I also got these bar
[3:49] clamps which are super helpful for the
[3:50] deer fence that I'm building. And I got
[3:52] some lovely garden decorations. And
[3:57] the store is saved. Hooray! Again, guys,
[3:59] this is so easy to do. You just have to
[4:01] download the Temu app with this QR code

[4:19] download the app and make this happen
[4:21] now. So, just click our link in the
[4:22] description and save with Temu
[4:24] instantly. Now, back to what I was
[4:26] saying. Here in Peter's fight with Mac
[4:27] Gargan Scorpion, remember Mac Gargan is
[4:29] this dude that the Vulture hit with a
[4:30] car in Spider-Man: Homecoming, but here
[4:33] Gargan blames Spider-Man and wants
[4:34] revenge.
[4:35] >> You know, take a picture, slice his
[4:37] throat, put his head in the dryer.
[4:39] >> In this fight with Scorpion, they cut it
[4:40] and they attempted to sync Gargan's
[4:42] lines to make it seem like he's the one
[4:44] who's saying, "What's going on with you,
[4:45] Spider-Man?" But this is clearly Tom
[4:47] Holland speaking and it's Peter saying
[4:49] this to himself as he questions what the
[4:51] hell is going on with his body, similar
[4:53] to this line from Toby Spidey in
[4:55] Spider-Man 2.
[4:56] >> Why is this happening to me?
[4:58] >> What's going on with you, Spider-Man?
[4:59] >> Spider-Man: Brand New Day is borrowing
[5:01] heavily from Raimi's Spider-Man 2 and
[5:03] hey, that's fine with me because that
[5:05] is, I think, the greatest comic book
[5:06] movie ever made after Superman: The
[5:08] Movie. Peter's physical changes are also
[5:10] very cool, but just like in Spider-Man
[5:12] 2, they are stemming from or are at
[5:14] least meant to be a physical
[5:16] representation of Peter's quarter-life
[5:18] crisis and the struggles with identity
[5:20] he's been facing due to trying to
[5:22] balance being Peter Parker and
[5:23] Spider-Man. That's a struggle that's
[5:25] been dialed to 11 in this movie with the
[5:27] world no longer even knowing who Peter
[5:29] Parker even is. So, Peter is trying to
[5:31] figure out why he's mutating. On this
[5:34] screen, we see a graphic that indicates
[5:35] Peter's hormones are at 50% human and
[5:38] 50% arachnid. We also saw this gene
[5:41] chart that will play into the film's
[5:42] likely introduction of the mutant gene
[5:44] with Jean Grey. Now, we know Peter goes
[5:46] to Banner for help and in other trailers
[5:49] we have seen Spider-Man doing a body
[5:50] scan that I think we can assume Bruce
[5:52] Banner is helping with because
[5:53] Spider-Man is in his full costume,
[5:55] including the mask. I think we're likely
[5:57] going to see Peter pulling a Mrs.
[5:59] Doubtfire and trying to pretend that
[6:00] he's Spider-Man's friend and not
[6:02] Spider-Man, just like he does in the
[6:03] animated series with Curt Connors. Bruce
[6:05] will likely play along, but I think he's
[6:07] too smart to not put two and two
[6:09] together. Peter still appears to have an
[6:10] AI assistant, which makes sense. I mean,
[6:12] hey, don't we all?
[6:15] >> What?
[6:15] >> The voice reads out the following.
[6:17] >> Organic webs, heightened senses,
[6:19] increased agility.
[6:20] >> And we see Spidey on a rooftop
[6:21] experimenting with his new organic webs
[6:24] and as he presses down on his arm, some
[6:25] web shoots out causing him to gag.
[6:29] And the scene of Spider-Man being on a
[6:30] rooftop to test out his new powers is
[6:32] yet another reference to Toby Spider-Man
[6:35] who has organic webbing and tested its
[6:37] swinging capabilities on a rooftop in
[6:39] the first Spider-Man. We see Spidey save
[6:41] this kid in the midst of a chase with an
[6:42] armored vehicle.
[6:43] >> You okay, kid? Yeah, you're okay.
[6:45] >> That reminded me of yet another Toby
[6:46] moment from Spider-Man 2.
[6:47] >> No playing in the streets.
[6:49] >> Yes, Mr. Spider-Man. [music]
[6:50] >> See you.
[6:51] >> Now, in our breakdown of the second
[6:52] trailer, we actually missed this small
[6:54] detail here where Peter is holding
[6:56] Bruce's broken inhibitor wristband and
[6:58] you'll see that it reads ASM 14. Amazing
[7:00] Spider-Man 14 being Spider-Man's first
[7:02] encounter with the Hulk. So, the Hulk is
[7:05] unleashed and thunderclaps Spider-Man
[7:07] and we see the two falling out of this
[7:09] building. Now, what's going on here has
[7:10] to be some trailer cutting trickery
[7:12] because when the Hulk hulks out, they
[7:14] are in Peter's apartment, we think. But,
[7:16] this shot of this building they're
[7:17] falling from is definitely not Peter's
[7:19] apartment building. In fact, this LEGO
[7:21] set confirms that it is a Department of
[7:23] Damage Control building. So, I'm
[7:25] actually not sure about that either. Our
[7:26] best guess is that when the Hulk is
[7:28] released, he goes on a rampage through
[7:29] Manhattan and this building is just one
[7:31] of the many that we're going to see him
[7:33] crash through. Now, in this shot from
[7:35] the second trailer, Hulk is green, but
[7:37] in a recently released social media gift
[7:39] from Sony, those with a keen eye noticed
[7:41] that the Hulk is not green, he is gray.
[7:43] Now, with this movie exploring mutations
[7:45] and genes and the Hulk being gray, this
[7:48] is all the confirmation we need that
[7:49] Sadie Sink is playing Shatra. I mean,
[7:51] this is all the confirmation we need
[7:53] that Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey.
[7:55] No, but look, in all seriousness, we are
[7:56] likely viewing the gray Hulk here. Rumor
[7:58] has it that in Age of Ultron, when the
[8:00] Hulk was released by another mind
[8:02] manipulator, the initial plans were for
[8:03] him to be gray. Now, gray Hulk is a
[8:05] split personality of Bruce Banner.
[8:07] Unlike the green version of the Hulk,
[8:09] gray Hulk can speak English fluently and
[8:11] not like a caveman.
[8:13] >> Get away! [music]
[8:14] Run!
[8:15] >> This Hulk actually has control over
[8:17] himself. And fun fact for you, when the
[8:18] Hulk was first introduced, he was also
[8:20] gray. But, following unforeseen printing
[8:22] issues, Stan Lee decided to change his
[8:24] color to green. Now, for a long time,
[8:26] the Hulk has been locked away. The mind
[8:28] of the Hulk, I mean. Bruce combined the
[8:30] brain and the brawn by suppressing the
[8:32] Hulk's mind and taking his hands
[8:33] completely off the wheel. But, he's
[8:35] still happy to use the Hulk's physical
[8:37] form, aka the power of his immense
[8:39] strength. Gray Hulk could be a flip of
[8:41] the script here, though. The mind of the
[8:42] Hulk could retake the wheel, sending
[8:44] Banner's consciousness back into exile
[8:46] like we saw in Ragnarok. Only this time,
[8:48] the same way Banner maintained the power
[8:50] of the Hulk while sending his mind into
[8:51] darkness, the Hulk could maintain the
[8:53] intelligence of Banner while sending
[8:55] Banner's mind into the darkness and thus
[8:57] creating the gray Hulk. So, another MCU
[9:00] alum joining Spider-Man in this movie is
[9:02] the Punisher. A recent interview with
[9:04] Tom Holland features him talking about
[9:05] his friendship with Jon Bernthal and how
[9:07] the two of them helped each other with
[9:08] their respective auditions for their
[9:10] Marvel roles years ago. And how Holland
[9:12] has wanted this team-up on screen for a
[9:14] long time. Here, at Frank's hideout,
[9:17] where Peter takes MJ to be protected, we
[9:18] see that Frank is living in a boat
[9:20] called The Golden Girl. This is taken
[9:22] directly from Spider-Man 141, where we
[9:24] see the Punisher living in the same boat
[9:26] called The Golden Girl. And our hope is
[9:28] that after Peter leaves MJ with Frank
[9:30] safe in The Golden Girl, Peter will turn
[9:32] around and thank Frank for being a
[9:34] friend.
[9:34] >> Thank you for being a
[9:37] >> [music]
[9:38] >> Now, in that same issue featuring the
[9:40] Golden Girl issue 141, we also meet the
[9:42] villain The Persuader. He is yet another
[9:44] Z-list Spider-Man villain, but he does
[9:46] have the ability to control minds. So,
[9:48] it's possible that we could learn that
[9:50] he is the mysterious villain using Jean
[9:52] Grey's mind control powers for himself.
[9:54] A recent TV spot subtitles indicated
[9:56] that the DODC boss played by Tramell
[9:58] Tillman is indeed the mutant-hating
[10:00] activist from the comics, William
[10:02] Metzger. And we could learn that one of
[10:03] his underlings at the DODC running the
[10:05] lab that is harnessing the power of Jean
[10:07] Grey could be Roland Rayburn, aka The
[10:10] Persuader. And speaking of persuasion,
[10:12] maybe I could persuade some of you to
[10:13] check out our merch store
[10:14] screenrushmerch.com by showing you some
[10:16] of these really cool Marvel-inspired
[10:17] designs that we have created for you on
[10:19] sale right now, like this Nelson and
[10:21] Murdock Law and Order parody shirt, I'm
[10:23] a really good lawyer business card, and
[10:25] many, many more. Links for these are
[10:26] below. So, in the comics, Rayburn is a
[10:28] Wall Street trader and a mutant with the
[10:31] ability to persuade others to do as he
[10:33] wishes. Roland is brainwashed into
[10:35] working for the Kingpin, and he is used
[10:37] to persuade the Punisher to kill a rival
[10:39] gang that were a threat to Wilson Fisk.
[10:40] Spider-Man intervenes, and The Persuader
[10:42] tells Punisher to kill Spider-Man, but
[10:44] The Punisher breaks through his control
[10:46] and instead pulls the trigger on
[10:48] Rayburn. So, maybe in a movie filled
[10:50] with the low-level Spider-Man villains
[10:51] that most people have never heard of, it
[10:53] would make sense that a villain like The
[10:55] Persuader could be yet another villain
[10:57] being used by the DODC. Okay, and here
[11:00] we have a shot of MJ in a yellow sweater
[11:02] at a graveyard. Now, the yellow sweater
[11:03] is reminiscent of MJ's sweater from
[11:05] Spider-Man: The Animated Series. Now, we
[11:07] can assume that MJ is with Peter at Aunt
[11:09] May's grave, but what will be
[11:11] interesting is to learn whether MJ
[11:13] remembers Peter at this point. We saw in
[11:15] Spider-Man: No Way Home that Happy Hogan
[11:17] remembered May and his relationship with
[11:19] her, and how he knew her through
[11:20] Spider-Man, but he did not remember
[11:22] Peter Parker. So, I would assume that MJ
[11:24] would remember May as well, maybe just
[11:26] not why she knew her. And this could be
[11:28] yet another parallel to the Raimi film.
[11:30] In Spider-Man, we saw Peter in a
[11:32] cemetery tell MJ the two of them can
[11:34] never be together. It would be poetic if
[11:36] come the end of this film, Peter decides
[11:38] that he can't remind MJ who he is for
[11:40] the same reason he opted not to at the
[11:42] end of No Way Home. He wants to keep her
[11:43] safe. And in No Way Home, even with MJ
[11:46] not remembering Peter, he has yet again
[11:48] put her in danger.
[11:49] >> Put you in danger. You just have to
[11:50] trust me.
[11:50] >> Well guys, that's everything we caught
