The Hand explained – the supernatural Marvel history of the ninja force featured in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer

Daredevil.

The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day features a wide group of recognizable characters, from Jon Bernthal's The Punisher to Mark Ruffalo's The Hulk, who will join Tom Holland in the MCU's new Spidey adventure. Fans also spotted (well, they are hard to miss) a group of lethal ninjas in red outfits attacking Spider-Man, with many believing that they must be members of The Hand.

This criminal organization was a key player in the original Daredevil series, as well as subsequent Netflix titles like Iron Fist and The Defenders, which are now officially part of the MCU canon and are available on Disney Plus. Back in Daredevil season 1, The Hand's leader formed an alliance with Wilson Fisk using Madame Gao and Nobu Yoshioka as intermediaries, evolving into a dangerous force threatening to destroy New York.
