The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally out into the world, and it’s taking the journey of Peter Parker / Spider-Man (Tom Holland) into uncharted territory. There are plenty of questions surrounding the footage — who Sadie Sink is playing, what’s next for Peter’s relationship with Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson (Zendaya), and how the heck everything will tee up Avengers: Doomsday. But given the connectivity of the Marvel Cinematic Universe the movie takes place in, one question is also coming up… how will Disney+’s Daredevil shows factor into Brand New Day?
Of course, the biggest connection between the two projects is Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle / The Punisher, whose return in Season 1 of Daredevil: Born Again culminated with him being captured in Wilson Fisk’s secret vigilante prison. Fans have been curious to see how Frank escapes that predicament, whether offscreen in between projects, or in his solo Special Presentation that is set to arrive on Disney+. With the Brand New Day trailer showing Frank clearly out of prison and seemingly already having a relationship with Spider-Man, that throws an even further wrench into the timeline of things.
