In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man has been known for having the guidance of mentors like Iron Man and Doctor Strange. However, in his upcoming movie, Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, this dynamic could experience a significant change. Following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) seems to have emancipated himself, the story will take a different direction by bringing together a full set of characters from the Marvel universe.
Hulk kills spider!
Brand New Day promises to bring back Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal, and also marks the return of Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, who could shed his current “Smart Hulk” status to return to his more primitive and savage form, known as “Savage Hulk.” This possible return to a more destructive version of the character suggests that fans might witness a significant confrontation between Spider-Man and Hulk. According to rumors, this conflict could represent one of the main antagonisms of the plot.
The details of the story are still scarce, but there are theories suggesting the possibility of a larger and more complex antagonist. Images from the idea board of cinematographer Brett Pawlak have hinted at a confrontation between Spider-Man and Hulk, fueling speculation that Bruce Banner could lose control over his giant form again. Additionally, Ruffalo’s involvement in this tenth Marvel film could indicate a re-exploration of the character’s duality, adding depth to the narrative.
Although the relationship between Spider-Man and Hulk has been explored in the comics, it is uncertain whether Hulk will be the main villain of the movie. The expectation for Brand New Day continues to grow, and Marvel fans are eager to see how this epic story will unfold on the big screen.
