[00:00] Avengers Tower, Ramrod, comic references to the Hulk and Green Goblin and Peter's Spider-Pewer being making him an anti-vaxxer of so many Spider-Man brand new day Easter Eggs to break down from this new footage. I'm Eric Foster in the New Rockstar's channel, and new trailer footage to Spider-Man
[00:14] brand new day released since last week's trailer reveals new villains and new theories about Peter's relationship with the city, with Jean Grey, with the Punisher, and a villain that Tom Holland says is still somehow a secret. I'm going to break down this new footage, cover some additional Easter Eggs that have come
[00:28] in the light and connect all the dots. Before we begin, a reminder that the best way to support new rockstars is to head on over to our merch store, NerdRite.shop, where we have the Who's Who Spider-Pointing meme shirt, an Empire State University shirt, and all kinds of great Spider-Man themed designs
[00:43] that go directly to support what we do here at New Rockstars. Alright, let's watch this new TV promo. We all know the Spider-Man fight scary bad guys, but do you know the one thing he is never scared of? Needles.
[00:55] What the? It's probably Spider-Pewerty. Hey, hey, hey, come on! What's going on with you Spider-Man? Organic webs. Oh, heightened fences. God, that's cool. Increased agility.
[01:07] You okay kid? Yeah, you're okay. I didn't know you could get that big. The opening shot of this new Spider-Man branded-a-day TV promo shows more of Peter's run off of this rooftop, but whereas the shot in the March trailer went right into Peter's horizontal
[01:21] barrel roll jump, now we get to a completely different flip jump that might be from a different scene. Hey, Avengers Tower in the daylight. This is a new remodel of Avengers Tower that we're going to see in Avengers Doomsday.
[01:33] This of course would be after Val began remodeling it to be centuries watch tower, as we saw in the Thunderbolts film, until it was reclaimed by the new Avengers to be their base of operations that we see in the movies post-credits scene and in Doomsday. We saw this new tower in the night time and Daredevil born again season two episode one and
[01:48] in the morning silhouette shot later in that season. I like to think of the health of the Marvel Cinematic Universe can be best measured by how often the VFX artists include Avengers Tower in the background skyline of other movies. And I like to see this as just a reminder that the people working on this movie want us to
[02:02] think of Spider-Man as someone connected to the Avengers. While we don't know if Tom Holland will return in Avengers Doomsday, he probably will return in Avengers Secret Wars and hopefully this movie's post-credits scene will explain how he connects to the Avengers next time we see them in Doomsday.
[02:15] Next added to the montage of Peter fighting other low-level Spider-Man villains and super-slime motion shots had recreated comic book covers. We get a confirmation of a new villain, Ramrod. This is Recreating Bob Whitechek's cover of the amazing Spider-Man number 221 from 1981.
[02:29] When Spider-Man jumps to allow Ramrod to ram a stupid head into the brick wall on the campus of Empire State University, who is Ramrod he may ask? I doubt anyone's really actually asking that. Ramrod is a cyborg with metal plating on his head, shoulders and chest, originally introduced
[02:43] in Daredevil number 103 from 1973 as a creation of Kerwin Broderick and Moon Dragon as a cyborg weapon against Daredevil. He ends up facing Spider-Man later on in the 1981 comic in a plot by Ramrod to develop a potion that would make people go into a rageful frenzy and die shortly after.
[02:59] While Ramrod's appearance here doesn't fully match the cover, he does match the appearance that Ramrod has in other comics, green pants, boots, bare chest with the metal on the head and shoulders, they also added these metallic bracers on the arms. The alleyway does not look like Empire State University that we see in other shots from
[03:14] the recent trailer, it's just another corner of New York City. Nothing against Ramrod, but he kind of sucks. Like anyone who tells you that Ramrod is their favorite Spidey villain as a Rod Ram Liar. It kind of seems like they just picked an assortment of Spidey villains like Tarantula,
[03:27] Boomerang and Ramrod from comic covers that they could recreate to be part of this montage that's going to span 4 years to show what Peter was doing as Spider-Man in New York City while Ned and MJ were at MIT. But then in this promo, we get this new scene where Peter is in a classroom demonstrating
[03:42] vaccination. He keeps his mask on, but reveals his arms, which I'm guessing is how Ned was able to deduce that Peter's ethnicity is white as we saw on Ned's list of characteristics on his research wall. I'm guessing this is part of a Spider-Man PR tour that also includes him getting the key
[03:56] to the city by Mayor Shailor Rivera as we saw in the March trailer. This nurse just jams the needle into his arm but the needle breaks on Peter's skin. This is new. Peter certainly shocks by this because Peter's skin has never been invulnerable like
[04:09] this. In all past films, he gets plenty of cuts and bruises and abrasions. Like even when he's facing the hand and the prison in this movie, he's got cuts on his face there, but this girl in the classroom speculates... What the?
[04:21] It's probably Spider-Puberty. Spider-Puberty was a term that, according to Tom Holland, he actually pitched as the idea for Peter's physiological changes in this film, but he said that the exact phrasing of Spider-Puberty was shut down by the writers.
[04:33] It seems like they're incorporating that pitch into the scene of the film. So the fact that this Spider-Puberty seems to make his skin invulnerable now, so just to me the battle with the hand is going to be something that happens earlier in the film. Considered we see Peter getting cut and bruised up pretty good in that fight.
[04:47] Then we see another shot of Peter fighting Matt Gargan Scorpion, seen an awesome opening shot of last week's trailer where Peter crashed through not one, but two signs back to back before he lands on the hood of the car. We actually did see Scorpion in the foreground at the beginning of that shot as he was suspending
[05:02] this DODC soldier. Now throughout this, we hear a female voice, maybe the voice of Peter's new AI assistant EV, listing off new adaptations that he's going to have in this movie.
[05:16] In this shot, we see two screens in Peter's apartment showing a scan of Peter's body in his hormone levels, an equal share of human and arachnid, and on the right that looks like a scan of his DNA and a gene chart. We also see a longer shot of him pressing the organic webbing out of his wrist in a few
[05:30] wet drops of it squirting out to it's Peter's like yuck, and speaking of Spider-Man's new Spider-Puberty developments, a Korean TV promo features a new angle of Peter's awesome web tornado move on the hand, showing Peter's focus to stare downward.
[05:43] I love the Destin Daniel Cretten got so many angles of this one hero move, but then back to the main TV promo that we're breaking down here, we see a police SUV rolling, Peter swinging and saving a kid on a scooter out of arms way and then patting his helmet.
[05:55] This promo ends with shots of the Hulk from last week's trailer, standing in lab, and then thunder clapping. Last week's trailer also showed Hulk still stuck to the rubble as he falls down the side of a building. Remember I was wondering what super tall building this is?
[06:07] And people looking at Lego sets were saying that it is the DODC building. This Lego set also has scorpion tarantula and boomerang with it, I don't know, there could just be another DODC building in this movie, and we don't really know if it's the same one that we see in this shot of the Hulk, but from the Lego site as he clicked through
[06:21] the images, it does look like the DODC building is rigged to explode, open like this building does in the trailer shot. So I don't know, but apparently the official Spidey tracker website shared versions of all of these Hulk shots from the trailer as animated gifts where Hulk looks desaturated and literally
[06:36] gray in those gifts. So his Hulk actually going to be gray Hulk in this scene and they just made him green for the trailer. There's actually been a lot of thinking out there that colors and effects that we see in this June trailer might be placeholders that are going to be swapped out when we see that
[06:49] theatrical release. For example, Jean Grey's telepathic shockwave, when it stops directly in front of Frank Castle when he's standing in the street, it has the light-bending shimmer that Sue Storms Forcefield has in fantastic work for steps. And some are speculating that that might have just been a placeholder effect that they used
[07:04] for the trailer, and it couldn't have been swapped out for a pink or red colored energy wave when we see the film and it's going to be revealed to be Jean Grey. I think at this point, I've had an account for every website I've ever visited. I don't like that. I don't like that because I wanted to read one article on NerdNewsHub.com back in 2016.
[07:20] They've got my financial info ten years later. I've got one article. Being control of your financial information seems daunting, but thanks to today's sponsor, privacy is honestly so easy to do. Privacy is a virtual card product and consumer protection focus brand that helps you safeguard
[07:35] your financial life. With privacy, you can generate unique virtual card numbers for each business, website or purchase. Do you have the ability to pause, close, or limit spending on your terms? For instance, you could use a merchant locked card, though lock onto the first merchant you
[07:48] use with them, and then won't work anywhere else, which is perfect for recurring subscriptions like Disney Plus or Netflix. Privacy also offers single use cards, which automatically close after the first transaction. It's a great option for when you want to make a one-and-done purchase from a website you
[08:02] might not trust yet, or just don't plan on using regularly. Or you know when you have to put a card down for a free 30-day trial and you don't want to have to remember to cancel it 30 days later, use this for that. For extra anonymity, customers can enable private spend mode, which replaces merchant names
[08:16] on their bank statement with the generic privacy.com descriptor. It's perfect for hiding a gift for your significant other if you have a shared card or account. Most people don't realize that big banks and credit card companies sell customer purchase data to advertisers, but privacy doesn't sell customer data ever.
[08:31] Plus, privacy has great protection for data breaches since your actual bank account or credit card information is shielded from merchants and, therefore, from potential merchant data breaches. And as scams become more effective with AI, security tools like privacy cards become more
[08:45] essential for protecting your data. Go to privacy.com-slash-rockstars that's PRIVACY.com-slash-rockstars and get your $5 sign up bonus today. The $5 can be used on your first purchase.

[09:09] Another really great easter egg that I will admit I did not see at first. On Bruce Banner's wrist device, you can barely make out a SM-14, standing for the Amazing Spider-Man number 14 from 1964, which is the first time Spider-Man crosses paths
[09:23] with the incredible Hulk in Marvel Comics history. But we should say that the Amazing Spider-Man number 14 is also historic because it's the first ever appearance of the Green Goblin. I assume this numerical code in the shot was added for the Hulk of it all.
[09:35] But we can't just ignore that additional layer of historic significance. Why can't we ignore it? Let's on his global press tour, stopping recently in Rome. Tom Holland was out there saying that the real villain of this movie still has not been revealed
[09:47] yet. And the villain that we have in this new movie, which is still very much a secret, is, I think unlike anything we've seen in one of these movies before. Okay, it's going to go, get crazy, yeah, in comparison to, yeah, I'm getting closer to
[10:03] that. You should walk up. You gotta love Tom Holland. The guy's always one worn away from spoiling something and one step away from injury himself. But based off of what he said here, it rules out any of the villains that have been prominently featured in the marketing.
[10:15] So could Tom just be referring to Sadie Singh being Jean Grey, which in his mind is still very much a secret kept under wraps by the marketing, and based on her power set would be, unlike anything we've seen in the Spider-Man movie before, could he be referring to Keith
[10:27] David as Dr. Miles Warren, aka the Jackal, if that is indeed who Keith David is playing. Like we definitely did here, Keith David's voice in the first trailer for March, the voice lecturing about life cycles of spiders. But some of the latest rumors is that Keith David based on him just being labeled as
[10:41] a narrator in the closed captions of that first trailer, is really just going to end up being a David Attenborough style nature documentarian that we just see on a TV screen. So based on that ASM-14 easter egg, could there be a Norman Osborne or maybe a Harry Osborne
[10:54] lurking outside of the marketing in this movie, a version of Green Goblin, unlike what we've seen in the past where it's always just been Willem Defoe in an armored suit, or whatever the hell Dane Dehan was, but rather an actual comic accurate Green Goblin.
[11:07] Is that even possible to put into a 2026 superhero movie without it being completely cringe? Another thing that Tom Holland revealed in this global press tour to IGN's Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg outlet was that only one person remembers that Peter Parker is Spider-Man after the
[11:21] memory-wide spell. Do the Avengers, do they also remember that you're Spider-Man or how does it work? I think no one remembers that I'm Spider-Man apart from one person. Nobody remembers that you're Peter Parker.
[11:33] No one remembers Spider-Man as Peter Parker. They know Spider-Man, they just don't know one person. Okay. I assume that one person is going to be Sadie Singh's character Jean Grey, perhaps based on her psionic and telepathic powers, or maybe even her link with the Phoenix Force, if that
[11:48] is already part of her, certainly should be able to bypass the magic of Dr. Strange and the runes of cough-call memory-wife spell, a spell that also warps reality itself, meaning that she would have to be a reality-warper in her own right. Tom Holland also revealed this tidbit in the same interview.
[12:03] I think the relationship between Spider-Man and the Punisher. I think what you've seen in the trailers is just the tip of the iceberg. I think what ended up happening naturally on set, which was a lot of just John and I improvising.
[12:16] Of course, very good friend of mine. A really good friend of mine. I really love John. He's a really close friend of mine. That relationship, I think, fans at the end of this movie are going to say, just give us
[12:29] more of that. I want to do Spider-Man in his TV show. I want to... See, that happens when you take a PG-13 character and put him in a rated X TV show.
[12:41] Rated X? Careful, Tom! I think you mean rated R, and X rating means something very different. But yes, Peter's relationship with Frank Castle is something the trailers just seem to be cutting around. One Punisher detail that I didn't mention in last week's trailer breakdown.
[12:54] In the trailer, we see that Frank is operating out of a boat that's called the Golden Girl. This comes directly from Jerry Conway's Spectacular Spider-Man number one for one in 1976. When Spider-Man and the Punisher team up against Tombstone, the Punisher uses a boat called
[13:07] the Golden Girl as his hideout in that issue. Marvin Jones III will be playing Tombstone in this movie, and some leaked art suggests that we're going to see a slow-motion recreation of the following issue, Spectacular Spider-Man number 142, when Tombstone holds Spider-Man over ledge.
[13:20] Now that 141 issue does feature a character named Persuader, a villain who can manipulate and control people's minds. That gives those fans of you out there who do not want Sadie Sink to be playing Gene Gray in this movie. Another alternative option to theorize about, along with Rachel Summers, Madeline Pryor, Spider-Queen
[13:36] Adriana Soria, Mayday Parker, Carly Cooper, Typoid Mary, Firestar, and any other character that makes even less sense than Gene Gray does.
