'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' set leaks tease showdown with Punisher hinting at intense MCU showdown as filming wraps in Glasgow

Marvel fans are buzzing with excitement after new set leaks for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' hint at an intense MCU showdown between Peter Parker and Jon Bernthal's Punisher. Following the emotional events of 'No Way Home,' Tom Holland's Spider-Man is set for a gritty new chapter, and these set videos and photos suggest an unlikely partnership could emerge from an initial clash. With the film reportedly tying into other Marvel projects and potentially featuring villains like Mister Negative, the stage is set for a thrilling new adventure.
Let's dive into this development.

‘Spider-Man 4’s’ big showdown

‘Spider-Man 4’ is shaping up to bring a big showdown between Peter Parker and one of Marvel’s most dangerous anti-heroes. Titled ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, the film will mark Tom Holland’s return to the MCU after the emotional ending of ‘No Way Home in 2021’. This time, he might be crossing paths with Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle, better known as The Punisher.

A new set video and photo surfaced online

Bernthal’s version of Punisher has only appeared in Marvel-Netflix shows so far, but Brand New Day will be his first time in an MCU movie. Recently, while filming was underway, a new set video and photo surfaced online.


The footage shows Spider-Man standing in front of Punisher’s van, which clearly has the skull logo on its hood. Bernthal himself wasn’t spotted during the shoot, but the scene hints at their meeting in the film.


Since Spider-Man and Punisher have very different ways of fighting crime, it’s likely they’ll start off as enemies before teaming up. With the movie taking place after ‘Daredevil: Born Again season 2’ and possibly a Punisher special, this could be the first time the two characters meet in the MCU. While fans have guessed that Mister Negative might be the main villain, nothing is confirmed yet. Filming for the movie has already wrapped in Glasgow.
