MCU News: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer, Daredevil: Born Again, And More
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Is Finally Released — Naturally, the biggest piece of MCU news this week was the release of the first trailer for Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Revealing a new era for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker, the trailer confirms major status quo changes for Spider-Man’s powers, fallout from Spider-Man: No Way Home, key allies like The Punisher and Hulk, and even returning MCU villains like Scorpion and The Hand. That said, there are still plenty of surprises to come, including Sadie Sink’s character and the movie’s ultimate villain.

Naturally, Charlie Cox denied his involvement in Brand New Day, while also confirming that even if he was in the new Spider-Man movie, he’d still say he wasn’t (bringing back memories of Andrew Garfield’s similar responses about his return as The Amazing Spider-Man ahead of 2021’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day).
RDJ & Chris Evans Reunite At The Oscars Before Doomsday (With Channing Tatum) — Last weekend, the Oscars saw Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans reuniting ahead of Avengers: Doomsday as award presenters, accompanied by The Avengers theme along with some fun Marvel banter. Likewise, part of their bit included Channing Tatum sitting in the audience, who will be returning as Gambit in Doomsday.
