Tom Holland Teases Potentially Huge Part of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day Story

Tom Holland has teased a perchance immense portion of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day communicative — that 1 idiosyncratic mysteriously inactive remembers Peter Parker's concealed identity.

Brand New Day picks up years aft Holland's past superhero movie, which ended with Doctor Strange casting a spell to marque the satellite hide who Spider-Man truly was.

Now, successful a caller interrogation with our colleagues astatine IGN Benelux, the reliable spoiler instrumentality that is Tom Holland elaborate however that spell had worked, and revealed that 1 idiosyncratic had curiously been immune to its effects.

"It was a originative situation that presented immoderate logistical issues, similar — what does she remember?" Holland said erstwhile asked astir the spell's effects connected his friends, and ex-girlfriend MJ successful particular. "The thought we landed connected was that they retrieve Spider-Man, they retrieve their interactions with him, they conscionable don't retrieve who helium is.

"One of my favourite details is [that] Ned is trying to enactment retired who [Spider-Man] is due to the fact that helium wants to convey him," Holland continued. "And I deliberation that's conscionable truthful cute, and truthful Ned, and Jacob does it truthful well. It presented immoderate originative doors for america to spell through."

So, MJ and Ned volition retrieve being friends with Spider-Man, but not their interactions erstwhile Peter was just... Peter. It's logic that works to immoderate degree, though whether MJ volition besides retrieve being romantically progressive with Spidey connected a rooftop remains to beryllium seen.

One idiosyncratic who seemingly won't person to interest astir each that is the mysterious idiosyncratic that Holland says inactive knows Peter is Spidey. But who could this be?

Fans person 2 main candidates here. Firstly, Hulk — who we cognize is successful the film. While we've seen that his change ego Bruce Banner forgot who Peter was, fans accidental Hulk's suppression (Banner has a instrumentality to support him from turning green) whitethorn mean Hulk's consciousness wasn't technically contiguous erstwhile the spell was cast. Could this mean that Hulk volition admit Peter arsenic idiosyncratic from work? It's possible.

A seemingly much apt scenario, though, is that the idiosyncratic is the psychically-superpowered quality causing chaos successful New York City — who fans powerfully judge is X-Men main quality Jean Grey played by Sadie Sink. Who amended to person resisted the brain-changing interaction of Strange's spell than the astir psychically almighty mutant? We'll find retired erstwhile Spider-Man: Brand New Day yet releases successful theaters connected July 31.

Last week, Holland was asked astir his engagement successful Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars — and portion trying to debar spoilers, helium inactive went connected to suggest helium volition beryllium progressive astatine immoderate point.
