‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Begins Releasing Trailer in Pieces

by

It’s a brand new day for movie marketing.

Instead of just releasing the trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sony is taking a unique approach. Tom Holland, the film’s lead actor, announced on Instagram today that the full trailer will be out tomorrow. Until then, short clips from the movie will be shared on the social media accounts of Spider-Man fans worldwide.

Tom Holland shared that even Spider-Man needs help, and invited fans to join a global event celebrating the launch of the new #SpiderManBrandNewDay trailer. He encouraged the ‘Spider-Man community’ to participate as the trailer release coincided with sunrise around the world.

His post caught the attention of a fan in Peru, who shared a short, slow-motion clip of Spider-Man swinging through New York City. The clip was clearly taken from the iconic cover of Amazing Fantasy #15 – the very first comic book to feature the character.

Then, a fan from Ohio shared a quick video online showing Tom Holland, looking messy, as Peter Parker, falling in an apartment.

He sent the post to a fan in Mexico City, but so far, that fan hasn’t shared anything from the movie online.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth movie starring Tom Holland as the iconic Marvel superhero. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon reprise their roles as MJ and Ned, and they’re joined by returning Marvel actors Mark Ruffalo (as Bruce Banner) and Jon Bernthal (as the Punisher), as well as newcomers Sadie Sink, Liza Colon-Zayas, and Tramell Tillman. This film marks a change from the previous Spider-Man trilogy, which were all directed by Jon Watts; Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for his work on Shang-Chi.

The new Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, comes out in theaters on July 31st. The complete trailer will be released tomorrow, and we’ll share any new clips here as they become available.

Every Avenger’s Best Non-Marvel Movie

Robert Downey Jr.: Zodiac (2007)

David Fincher is known for his films about serial killers, but Zodiac is more than just a thriller. It’s a journey through San Francisco’s history, seen through the eyes of three men obsessed with solving the Zodiac Killer case. We follow a police inspector (Mark Ruffalo), rumored to be the inspiration for Bullitt, a crime reporter (Robert Downey Jr.) who became a target of the Zodiac, and amateur detective Robert Graysmith (Jake Gyllenhaal), who remains fixated on the case even after the killings stop. What Zodiac does exceptionally well is show how all-consuming an obsession can be. Fincher immerses the audience in a complex web of clues and false leads using stunning camerawork and editing. By the film’s ending – which cleverly circles back to the beginning after a tense two and a half hours – viewers truly understand Robert Graysmith’s relentless drive.

Mark Ruffalo: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

I can’t recall exactly where or when I first watched Eternal Sunshine, but it came out 20 years ago while I was living in New York City. Unfortunately, the memory of that initial viewing, like so many others, has faded with time. Interestingly, that makes me appreciate the film even more now than I did when it was released in 2004. What’s so compelling about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is that it uses a science fiction idea – a couple erasing each other from their memories – to explore the reality of natural memory loss. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet make a truly great on-screen couple, and their doomed relationship is part of what makes the film so powerful. Ultimately, all relationships end somehow, often feeling as inevitable as a beach house being washed away by the sea. I also always forget that Mark Ruffalo is in it, playing one of the workers at the memory-erasing clinic.

Samuel L. Jackson: Goodfellas (1990)

I honestly think Samuel L. Jackson might have the most incredible film career of anyone, ever. Sure, he’s been in a few duds – maybe you actually like Big Game? – but look at his work! He’s in so many of the best movies from the late 80s and early 90s, like Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing, Quentin Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction, and even Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas. Okay, he’s truly central to Pulp Fiction, and his part in Goodfellas is more of a quick appearance, but still… I can’t think of anyone, past or present, who has a filmography that even comes close!

Chris Evans: Knives Out (2019)

Toward the end of his time playing Captain America for Marvel, Chris Evans clearly enjoyed playing against type. In the 2019 film Knives Out, released alongside Avengers: Endgame, he portrayed Ransom, a spoiled and irresponsible member of a rich family involved in a playful murder mystery. Ransom is openly rude to his family and treats everyone with disrespect – essentially, he’s the kind of person Steve Rogers would definitely punch.

Chris Hemsworth: Star Trek (2009)

The 2009 Star Trek film successfully refreshed the franchise, acting as both a sequel and a reboot. It cleverly introduced a fantastic new cast – including Chris Pine as Captain Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, and Zoe Saldana as Uhura – while still honoring the original series by bringing back Leonard Nimoy as an older version of Spock. Although Chris Hemsworth has a smaller role as Kirk’s father, who bravely sacrifices himself, the film is arguably more enjoyable than many of Hemsworth’s Marvel movies.

Scarlett Johansson: The Prestige (2006)

Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige is a masterful film where all his signature techniques – like complex timelines and unexpected plot twists – and recurring ideas, such as flawed heroes and the loss of a spouse, come together brilliantly. Set in Victorian London, the movie follows two rival magicians, played by Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman, whose intense competition leads them to both groundbreaking discoveries and deadly actions. (Scarlett Johansson appears as an assistant to both men.) The Prestige is a story within a story, exploring the sacrifices artists make for their work and the inherent duality of good and evil within everyone. It remains a rewarding film to watch repeatedly, revealing new details each time, especially if you pay close attention to Nolan’s clever foreshadowing.

Jeremy Renner: Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol (2011)

It’s hard to pick the best Mission: Impossible movie overall, but the best single sequence is definitely the Burj Khalifa scene from Ghost Protocol. It involves a hugely complex plan and features Tom Cruise doing a daring stunt on the world’s tallest building. Jeremy Renner plays a crucial supporting role as William Brandt, an analyst who gets pulled into Ethan Hunt’s latest adventure. Sharing a scene with Tom Cruise requires a lot of action experience and confidence, and Renner – known for his work in films like The Hurt Locker – was perfectly suited for the part.

Anthony Mackie: The Hurt Locker (2008)

In The Hurt Locker, Jeremy Renner starred alongside Anthony Mackie, who would later become his Marvel Cinematic Universe co-star. Both actors convincingly portrayed soldiers with unique methods for handling bombs in the Iraq War. It’s unfortunate that Marvel hasn’t created many chances for Renner and Mackie to share the screen with the same chemistry they had in The Hurt Locker; they were a fantastic duo.

Don Cheadle: Boogie Nights (1997)

Paul Thomas Anderson’s film is a funny, sad, and insightful look at the golden age of the adult film industry in Southern California. It feels like a breezy journey through the late 1970s, filled with memorable characters like a troubled filmmaker modeled after Burt Reynolds and Amber Waves, a complex mother figure played by Julianne Moore. The film isn’t just about these individuals; it’s a broader exploration of American culture at the time—its beauty, its desires, and its struggles. Don Cheadle delivers a standout performance as Buck Swope, a porn star with a surprising dream: opening a stereo store. Unfortunately, he’s a terrible salesman, and his profession makes it impossible to get a loan. I still frequently quote Cheadle’s line, ‘Oh I think you need all that bass! I mean, if you want a system to handle what you want. Yeah, you need the bass,’ whenever I talk about audio speakers.

Elizabeth Olsen: His Three Daughters (2024)

A few years ago, I experienced the loss of a family member, and that experience deeply influences how I view Azazel Jacobs’ film, His Three Daughters. The film explores death through the eyes of those left behind – in this case, three sisters powerfully portrayed by Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne. While I don’t entirely agree with the film’s suggestion that death should only be shown through what isn’t shown, the last 20 minutes of this intimate family drama consistently leave me heartbroken. And though Elizabeth Olsen is well-known for her work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, her performance here as one of the sisters facing her father’s death is truly exceptional.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson: The Fall Guy (2024)

Once The Fall Guy gets going, it’s relentlessly energetic – think of a classic muscle car with a bit of a reckless streak, or Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s fast-paced Quicksilver. Its most memorable scenes have the same joyful, can-do spirit as those old Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musicals. It’s a genuinely heartwarming tribute to the art of filmmaking that inspires you to create or simply enjoy a movie. The film features Aaron Taylor-Johnson playing a movie star similar to Tom Cruise, one who seems to thrive on doing his own stunts, though he actually depends on the skill of stunt performers like the character played by Ryan Gosling.

Paul Bettany: Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)

I always found Paul Bettany fascinating. Before he became the Vision in Avengers: Age of Ultron or even voiced J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man, he was quietly brilliant as Dr. Stephen Maturin in Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. He really excels at playing the supportive, intelligent sidekick, and honestly, Master and Commander is one of the best historical naval war movies ever made. It’s a fantastic film, and he’s a key part of what makes it so good.

Paul Rudd: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

When it comes to sheer laugh-out-loud moments, it’s hard to beat Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. The movie, directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell, brilliantly satirizes the sexism common in 1970s workplaces. And the scene featuring Ron, his coworker Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), and Brian’s collection of colognes might just be the funniest scene I’ve ever seen in a movie. It’s packed with hilarious lines and perfectly timed delivery – almost every single word gets a laugh. Seriously, there are only a couple of moments that aren’t funny; the rest is pure comedic gold.

Tom Holland: Onward (2020)

Pixar has been making movies for 25 years, and while they’re still technically brilliant, their films sometimes feel predictable. Their latest, Onward, follows a familiar formula: a road trip comedy about two very different brothers, Ian (Tom Holland) and Barley (Chris Pratt), who are on a quest to briefly bring back their deceased father using magic. Even though Pixar’s movies aren’t always as groundbreaking as they used to be, the studio’s experience and skill still result in genuinely touching stories. Holland and Pratt work wonderfully together as these fantastical brothers.

Brie Larson: Short Term 12 (2013)

I remember seeing the film Short Term 12 before its SXSW premiere in early 2013, and I was immediately impressed by Brie Larson’s talent. I certainly didn’t expect she’d become such a big action star, or that she’d play a central role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain Marvel! It would have been a complete surprise back then.
