Jon Bernthal destroys Spider-Man’s world!
Spider-Man’s neighborhood is about to get even more dangerous!
Jon Bernthal is bringing his bone-breaking Punisher to the big screen in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
Fans are going crazy over the news – and honestly, who can blame them?
Behind-the-Scenes Friendship
This is amazing – Bernthal and Holland aren’t just Marvel pals, they’re real friends!
While filming “Pilgrimage” in 2017, they helped each other land Marvel auditions.
Bernthal revealed on the Kimmel show: “I said to Tom, ‘Maybe you should climb up that wall and do a double backflip’ for your tape.”
Holland was skeptical, but Bernthal dared him: “I don’t think any of these other idiots could do that!” Clearly, that advice worked!
The Spider-Cast Is Growing
The fourth Spidey movie is shaping up nicely. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are returning as MJ and Ned.
New faces include “Stranger Things” star Sadie Sink, though her role is still a secret.
“Shang-Chi” mind Destin Daniel Cretton is taking over in the director’s chair.
Frank Castle Goes Mainstream
Though Netflix fans have been seeing Bernthal’s fearsome Frank Castle for years, this is the Punisher’s first jump into Marvel’s theatrical universe.
After his recent return in “Daredevil: Born Again,” Castle’s star is certainly shining — he’s also producing a separate Punisher special for Disney+.
Peter’s New Beginning
Remember that heartbreaking ending to “No Way Home”? Everyone forgot Peter Parker!
Holland teased at CinemaCon: “I know we left you on a big cliffhanger… Brand New Day is a fresh start.”
The title pretty much says it all – Peter is back to basics, no fancy Stark gadgets, just a kid with powers trying to make a difference.
Shooting in summer, releasing in 2026
Cameras will roll this summer in England, and the film hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
That’s strategically after “Daredevil: Born Again” Season 2 arrives in March 2026.
What will happen when Bernthal’s ruthless vigilante meets Holland’s funny teenager? Will they team up or clash? The clash of tones alone makes this showdown worth watching!
