Brand New Day’s Spider-Man & Punisher Set Photos Are A Green Light For One Of Movie’s Biggest Theories

A recent scene featuring Spider-Man and the Punisher in the comic series Spider-Man: Brand New Day has strengthened a popular theory about a potential Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. Although both characters are well-known Marvel vigilantes, their journeys in the MCU have been quite different, making them two of the franchise’s most contrasting heroes.

It’s no surprise fans are even more excited to hear the Punisher will be involved in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day story. The contrast between these two characters suggests their interactions will be really interesting, and recent details about the movie seem to confirm that.

Our First Look At Spider-Man & The Punisher In Spider-Man: Brand New Day Makes A Major Theory About The Movie Seem Inevitable

Recent on-set photos offer a first look at how the Punisher will interact with Spider-Man in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Although it’s unknown exactly when this scene will occur in the movie, it strongly hints that the two characters will clash at some point. Photos show Frank Castle apparently aiming a gun at Spider-Man, who is perched on the hood of Castle’s vehicle.

Even if there’s been a mistake, the events suggest a clash between Spider-Man and the Punisher. Throughout his story, Spider-Man has always tried to save people, so it’s hard to imagine him allowing the Punisher to kill. And given the Punisher’s personality, he probably wouldn’t stop even if Spider-Man asked him to.

Just got a first look at the new movie, and it pretty much confirms what fans have been hoping for: a showdown between Spider-Man and the Punisher! It’s not just about action, though; this conflict feels like it’s building real tension for the next Spider-Man film, and it’s staying true to the complicated, often-conflicting relationship these two have in the comics. I’m really excited to see how this plays out on screen!

The Punisher’s MCU History Means It’s Almost Impossible For Him & Spider-Man To Not Have Conflict

Before Daredevil: Born Again came out, it wasn’t certain if Marvel would continue using Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Some wondered if they’d recast the role to distance the character from the violent storylines of the Netflix series. But Born Again has now confirmed that Bernthal will continue as the Punisher, and his previous story will be considered official MCU canon.

Because of their very different approaches, it’s hard to see the Punisher and Spider-Man working together without some kind of disagreement. The Punisher in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is much more violent than Spider-Man, and his extreme methods often clash with those of other heroes.

Since the second season of Daredevil: Born Again is coming out shortly before Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it will be fascinating to see if The Punisher‘s storyline is revisited in the show before his appearance in the 2026 movie. It will also be interesting to observe if the show portrays an increase in the intensity of his methods as he gets closer to his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut.
