Tom Holland compares Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle to Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark in Spider-Man: Brand New Day: "The relationship between Spider-Man and the Punisher is so funny"

Spider-Man Brand New Day.

Tom Holland is returning as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but instead of having RDJ's Tony Stark as a mentor, he's got Jon Bernthal's "incredible" Frank Castle as a "big brother." In fact, Holland says Spidey's relationship to the Punisher might be his favorite onscreen dynamic he's ever had.

"I think one of the things I've enjoyed most about my tenure as Spider-Man is sharing the screen with Robert Downey, Jr., and really building that Spider-Man/Iron Man relationship," Holland says in an interview at the Empire State Building celebrating the release of the first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. "But I am so excited for people to see Jon Bernthal as the Punisher in this movie. He's come from a very different world, you know, the R-rated kind of universe, and we've basically picked him up and plonked him into our world. And he absolutely sings in this movie. He is incredible."
