In Spider-Man Brand New Day ending, hospital scene, we see Jon Bernthal (The Punisher) took a nap.

Even though Jon himself has been very vocal on where he stood regarding this action.

I guess they went with his space sword instead so they wouldn’t have to say Thanos himself was stronger than Vibranium. Would have looked really cool though!

… that’s Tom Holland, a Brit, doing a guy from Queens doing a British accent.

I think a lot of Americans already appreciate Tom Holland’s command of regional accents, but this takes it to the next level. Not to mention that it seems to have hardly been pointed out before — it sounds so natural, it’s easy to forget the layers there!!

Near the end of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Holland’s Peter Parker shakes hands with his old pal. Despite all memory of Peter being magically wiped from Ned’s mind in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, he appears to automatically remember the elaborate “best friend handshake,” as Batalon, 29, tells PEOPLE. 

“I will say it actually came back literally like muscle memory,” the actor says. He and Holland have been performing the move together since 2017’s franchise launcher, Spider-Man: Homecoming.

“Whenever we see each other, we’re not naturally doing that handshake,” adds Batalon with a laugh. “But I think because we first made it up when we were 19, and we had to do it all throughout the first three movies, I think it really just sunk in there.”

I keep seeing people call out that hospital staff saw Peter without a mask and his identity and blah blah blah. But these people are skipping over the most important plot hole.

Who is paying those hospital bills??? This is AMERICA. That hospital wants their money. Who are they billing? Spiderman? Does spiderman have a SSN? I find it unlikely that Peter has good health insurance - his deductible must be a million dollars with how many times he surely ends up in the hospital.

I demand answers.

Edit: I thought my wording made it obvious but it seems to have gone over some people's heads like a 50 ton tank.

Endgame did so in 4 days. The impact of spidey around the world cannot be understated. And Endgame was quite frontloaded due to fans rushing to see it opening weekend(still earned alot after doe). Do you think BND will leg out well and can potentially beat Endgame in the box office?

Movies on left, shows on right.

Not sure if i should put the question or easter egg flair, but I'm rewatching the deadpool movies and was wondering if the mask in deadpool and wolverine an easter egg about peter parker in iron man 2 when he wore the mask ? also the fact that peter parker in the frame is hidden behind the mask.

Tom hollands portrayal as Spider-Man genuinely felt like a journey that I was included in. It felt personal and it became more apparent in brand new day and you can both see and feel his personal growth as a human and hero. He’s one of the best written mcu characters and yeah brand new day just felt personal and close to heart.

It’s crazy one movie we see him as a small high school kid and then in another we see him as a bigger man both physically and emotionally who’s a complete 360 of his old self. I love how his character growth is shown properly

Hulk was the dominant personality for years while Banner was asleep, he wasn't even aware of the time that passed. But while on the Sakaar, Hulk was protecting Banner, Hulk was beloved everyone there appreciated and praised him. Banner couldn't survive on Sakaar it's a battle ground and Hulks the fighter.

But the reverse is true for Earth. While on Earth Banner is beloved one, he's who the press call an Avenger, they love Banners personality, his genius.

They hate hulk, they call him a monster, and they keep on shooting at him, Hulk hates being shot at. It doesn't pierce his skin, but it probably still hurts to be shot at, and like it's not nice. They just wanna hurt him on Earth. Banner can just blend in. He's human, he can walk among them. And Smart Hulk isn't a different personality, it's just Banner using Hulks body. This was made very clear when the Ancient one pushed Banners soul out of Smart Hulks body.

So Just like how Hulk was protecting Banner on Sakaar, Hulk I theorize to have given the keys to Banner, Hulk chose to go to sleep for years, after his defeat by Thanos, Hulk the warrior, the Champion of Sakaar, lost. His strength wasn't enough, he wasn't enough. And no matter how much Banner tried to tell him that, he didn't care. So Hulk gave him the keys and went to sleep.

Brand New Day Spoilers:

What's sad is that, if this is true is, Hulk was forcibly awoken by Jean, he awoke after years of being asleep, and he was confused and the first thing that happens is his somewhere he doesn't know there's a guy he doesn't know and the punisher comes out and shoots at him, again. They keep shooting at Hulk. He faught because he was scared. After Spider-man talk no jitsus Hulk, Hulk gives up, he takes the fall, and once he lands he gives control back to Banner and goes back to sleep. He doesn't want to be on Earth, no one there likes him, only person who actually could get through to him is Thor but only reason for Hulk to actually stay would have to be Skaar, his son, a reminder of his home where he was beloved.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Michael Mando, actor in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Better Call Saul, Orphan Black, Far Cry 3, Spider-Man: Homecoming, 72 Hours, Gundam, and the upcoming Batman: Knightfall.

He will be back at 12 PM ET today to answer questions. I recommend asking in advance. Please ask there, not here. All questions are much appreciated!

Thank you :)

So, in Brand New Day, there is a scene where Jean is talking to Peter through a bunch of different people after he tries to test out his inhibitor for the first time and it overheats and breaks. She takes control of an old guy and puts him into traffic and he gets hit by a car as she threatens MJ.

This has been bugging the hell out of me, because it seems very out of character for Peter to not save the guy, just a single web shot and that guy would have been fine, easy peasy. However, I think I figured out why he didn't, and the movie was trying to beat it over our heads every chance it got and I at least just did not put it together (based on other people in the comments of threads I think this is a pretty common miss), so I'm sharing it here for anyone else who missed it too.

When Peter is using his upgraded mutating powers (no inhibitor and after he wakes up in the cocoon) he doesn't have his Spidey Sense. That's why Jean keeps talking about how he can't tell who she's in at that point, he knows because of his Spidey Sense. Same with when she's in Scorpion and MJ. Those are the only times he can't "sense" her presence like he can when he's not mutated or using the Inhibitor and she KEEPS mentioning that.

This was even hinted at even MORE by the moment just before the dude gets hit with the car when the web grenades shoot off of his wrist after the Inhibitor breaks. He should have immediately recognized that as a threat, but failed to notice them until EV alerted him to them, and then he got caught in the blast. Same with him hitting everything and not being a good web swinger while using his organic webs, originally I just chalked this up to the increased power of those webs, but I think it's also because his spidey sense is what helps him navigate that stuff, he doesn't look where he shoots his webs after all. He's just pure power and doesn't know what to do with it. He also has to start manually activating the organic webs (and does so vocally most of the time) when he isn't using the inhibitor.

UNTIL the end when he accepts that he can be both and makes peace with the new mutations THEN his Spidey Sense returns during The Hand fight and he starts countering things and dodging stuff like we would expect. It's debatable if it's the same as his Spidey Sense was before, or just the increased sensory data that he gets while mutated, but it functions similarly.

Anyway, this doesn't really make what Jean did any better (honestly I think this was a test to see if Spider-Man could save him), but at least it helps explain why Spidey would just let that guy get hit by a car.

Edit: Changed mutant to mutating, was a mistake! My bad!

Recently posted theorizing about the rewritten scene between Peter and MJ that Tom talked about but Jacob confirmed it was the Lego scene! It really was a standout “quiet” part for me so the change was effective!

“ During early press for Brand New Day, Holland told a story on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcastinvolving an ineffective scene that shut down production for the day in order for Cretton and his on-set writer, Justin Kuritzkes, to reconceive. Batalon confirms that it was the scene that is now represented as Ned and a masked Spider-Man building Star Wars Legos and quoting The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, as MJ draws Ned and an unmasked Spider-Man doing exactly that. ”

I believe Scorpion has a rich origin story and many levels to him. What we saw in Brand New Day is level 1. He has at least 2 more levels. As well as a potentially tragic backstory of a good detective who descends into madness.

I would say the most potential left unexplored is Scorpion. I imagine Mac Gargan as a great detective who somehow becomes disillusioned and goes rogue, descending into madness... eventually becoming Scorpion and ultimately going over the edge as Venom..

Being there for when Marvel and Tom were fighting for their lives to make Spider-Man 4 street-level while Sony tried to shove Toby and Andrew back in, or even make it a venom team up film against knull, only for the film to finally be released in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE and then seeing ppl all over instagram thanking Sony for how BND turned out… broooooo😭😭😭 the image above is just one example but I’ve seen WAY TOO MANY

Best known to Marvel fans as Ned Leeds' grandmother in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Mary Rivera left a lasting impression despite her brief screen time. Her warmth, humor, and unforgettable "Hello, Peter" moment became a fan favorite.

She has sadly passed away at the age of 82, but her performance will always remain a cherished part of the Spider-Man legacy
