The first official synopsis for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is here.
"It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker," the synopsis, found on the movie's official website, begins. "Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them."
Given how much of the movie has been under wraps, even a morsel of info about the movie's Big Bad – as is the case here – is welcome.
A "shocking new threat" and "a powerful villain no one can even see"? With speculation rampant that Sadie Sink is playing Jean Grey in the fourth instalment of the Spider-Man MCU saga, there are going to be plenty of fans thinking that's proof of the X-Men icon's inclusion in Brand New Day.
While we're not completely convinced (something is up with Tramell Tillman's character, after all), this all points to a hidden villain waiting in the wings, one who hasn't cropped up in marketing. Until now.
Throw in a surprise "transformation" – Man-Spider, anyone? – that has the power to take down whichever nefarious force is plaguing New York and it has all the makings of a Spidey classic.
Mercifully, it appears a second Brand New Day trailer is imminent, though we don't expect it to mirror the day-long rollout of the first trailer.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink, swings into cinemas on July 31.
