The Hype Around Spiderman Brand New Day
On Wednesday, March 18, the Spiderman Brand New Day trailer released to people worldwide on multiple platforms, including YouTube and Instagram. This trailer broke records, by reaching 1 billion views in just 4 days. This alone shows the excitement around this new movie that’ll come out this July.
There are many reasons that this trailer exceeded 1 billion views in just four days. One, is that obviously, it’s a Spiderman trailer. Spiderman is, to many, a part of the Mount Rushmore of superheroes, alongside Batman and Superman. The fourth superhero spot is debatable but what isn’t debatable is the top 3 on that list. So any spiderman movie will have excitement around it since he is one of the most popular superheroes ever.
Another reason is the comic accuracy that is present in the movie. The red and blue suit looks like a copy and paste from the comics, with some people saying that it is the best Spiderman live action suit we have ever seen. The “grounded” storyline also piques the interest of fans. Instead of a multiversal movie, this movie looks like just a regular street level Spiderman movie, something that fans have wanted for a long time.
More comic accuracy that is present in the movie is the tone of the movie. In this movie, Peter looks incredibly depressed and broke, something that the fans have wanted to see for a long time that is crucial to the original character. He is struggling to keep his emotional well being in check. All of these aspects from the comics make up the excitement for this movie.
“I think it was the best Spiderman movie trailer that I’ve ever seen besides No Way Home, it looks very promising and I can’t wait to see what they bring out from the comics,” said junior Aiden Millhomme.
Finally, there would be many fan favorite characters that’ll be in the new movie. The trailer already shows characters like the Punisher and Hulk. Not just heroes, but many villains have also appeared in the trailer, like the Hand, Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tarantula.
The appearance of so many characters also allows for many rumors and theories to form. Since the appearance of the Punisher is confirmed, there are many rumors that Daredevil will also appear in this movie. Also, there are many rumors that the movie would contain the Hulk that rages instead of the Smart Hulk that appeared in every movie since Endgame.
“A theory I have is that Peter will turn into Man-Spider. In the trailer Banner states that Peter’s DNA is mutating which I believe is because of the many psychological factors that he is going through. Once he becomes Man-Spider, I believe Hulk and Punisher will have to kill him and he will be buried underground. Then the symbiote on 616 will bond with him which would cause him to do the iconic pose,” said sophomore Brandon Higgs from American Senior High.
This is only one of the many theories for this movie. All of these theories lead to the excitement for this movie. But not just that, but this movie is the start of a new trilogy for the Tom Holland Spiderman. All of these factors combined makes this movie one of the most anticipated marvel movies since No Way Home, which is ironically, another Spiderman movie.
