Next Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Has a Shocking Runtime
The Korea Media Rating Board has rated a new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, according to its online rating service. The board classified the footage as suitable for all audiences. The trailer runs just 44 seconds long. The short runtime suggests a TV spot or promotional teaser rather than a full trailer.
Insider Claims Sadie Sink Is the “Best Part” of the Film
Insider MyTimeToShineHello recently claimed that Sadie Sink’s role features a major twist. The scooper also called Sink “the BEST part of Spider-Man Brand New Day” based on test screenings. The twist could connect to fan theories about Sink playing Jean Grey.
Trusted scooper Jeff Sneider previously claimed, “It’s true. I hear that she is, in fact, playing Jean Grey.” Deadline also reported the prevailing theory points to the iconic X-Men character.
Test Screening Reactions Compare Film to Spider-Man 2
MyTimeToShineHello also shared positive reactions from a recent test screening. “Been told that Brand New Day is Spider-Man 2 level good,” the scooper posted on X. The comparison to Sam Raimi’s 2004 film sets a high bar for the sequel.
Insider Teases Aunt May Could Appear
Complex Pop Culture noted Brand New Day would be the first live-action Spider-Man without Aunt May.
MyTimeToShineHello responded cryptically on X. “Don’t be so sure,” the insider wrote. Marisa Tomei’s Aunt May died during Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. The response suggests May could appear in some capacity, possibly through a flashback.
