The official account declared the "New Chapter Begins" for Spider-Man with a striking tagline: "Even if no one remembers me, I am your 'friendly neighborhood'—". The trailer offers the first glimpse of Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, and MJ, with the scene where MJ faces him, having lost all memory of Spider-Man, moving many fans to tears. Comments like "This movie is already a winner" abounded, alongside "The trailer alone makes me cry" and "So excited, tears won't stop," clearly indicating the immense anticipation for the film.

Fans have expressed awe at Tom Holland's portrayal of Spider-Man, stating he has "truly become Spider-Man," and surprise at his impressively toned physique.

Vigorous discussions are also underway regarding potential characters that might appear in the trailer. Comments like "If it's the Ten Rings, that'd be awesome, I love Shang-Chi so I want him to appear!" "Punisher is in Spider-Man? Bring Daredevil back again!" and "It's great that Banner is appearing!" reveal desires for connections to other MCU works. Some posts even reference the relationship with Fred, also known as Boomerang, who appeared in a previous work, highlighting the profound depth of the Spider-Man universe.

With the summer release approaching, fans are brimming with impatience, exclaiming "It's definitely going to be amazing!" and "Can't wait to see it!" It's clear that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is poised to be this summer's blockbuster that will set hearts racing.

The Context

For non-Japanese readers, understanding the background of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and its place within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is crucial. This film is a direct continuation of the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), where Peter Parker, to save the multiverse and his loved ones, made a deal with Doctor Strange that resulted in everyone, including his closest friends like MJ and Ned, forgetting his existence as Peter Parker. While they remember Spider-Man, they have no recollection of the person behind the mask or their personal history with him.

The title "Brand New Day" itself might resonate with comic book fans. In the comics, "Brand New Day" was a storyline that followed the controversial "One More Day" arc, where Peter Parker's marriage to Mary Jane Watson was erased from history, and his secret identity was restored to secrecy. The movie title suggests a similar narrative reset for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, where he must navigate a world where he is truly alone as Peter Parker, yet still committed to being the "friendly neighborhood" hero.

The excitement for character crossovers (Shang-Chi, Punisher, Daredevil, Banner/Hulk) stems from the MCU's interconnected nature. Fans are always eager to see how different heroes and storylines intertwine. The mention of "Ten Rings" refers to the criminal organization and mystical artifacts featured prominently in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, hinting at potential villains or allies. Similarly, Punisher and Daredevil have strong ties to the New York street-level superhero scene and previously appeared in Netflix series that are now being integrated more directly into the MCU. Bruce Banner (Hulk) has been a long-standing Avenger and a mentor figure to Peter Parker in previous films.

The line "Spiders have three growth cycles" is particularly enigmatic and has sparked much speculation among fans. It could refer to different phases of Spider-Man's life, different iterations of the character (e.g., Peter Parker, Miles Morales, Gwen Stacy), or even a deeper mystical element related to the spider-powers themselves. Tom Holland's portrayal of Spider-Man has been highly praised for its blend of youthful charm, humor, and emotional depth, making this "new chapter" a highly anticipated event for global audiences.
