Wondering what to watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day? Then you've come to the right place. With so many Marvel movies and shows to keep track of, it can be hard to know what to brush up on before a new release.
But that's where we come in. Below, we've rounded up all the Marvel movies and shows to watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day, so you can get up to speed before the next chapter of Peter Parker's adventures.
So, for all you need to know, head to the below. For even more, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows.
The MCU Spider-Man trilogy
The most obvious three films to watch before Spider-Man: Brand New Day are the three that make up the MCU Spider-Man trilogy. Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home tell the story of Tom Holland's Peter Parker so far. If you're pressed for time, No Way Home is the most important to (re)watch, since that film covers how and why the world forgets Peter Parker. But, if you have more spare time on your hands, you could also go back and watch Spidey's MCU introduction, which came in Captain America: Civil War, though we doubt it will be relevant for this movie.
Punisher: One Last Kill
Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle has a role in Brand New Day, and, for the latest on Punisher's antics in the MCU, his own standalone special is the place to go. One Last Kill focuses on Frank's mental health and his mission to avenge his family, as well as a new crime boss threatening his neighbourhood. It tees up a vigilante Punisher who has moved beyond his revenge mission, which could make his dynamic with Spidey very interesting in Brand New Day.
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame
While Spidey does appear in both of these Avengers movies, these actually provide great background for Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, who looks to have a hefty role in the new movie. These Avengers films give context to Bruce Banner's struggle with his Hulk persona, as well as the Smart Hulk that allows him to keep his head when he goes green. For even more context, you can check out She-Hulk on Disney Plus, too. The show focuses on Bruce's cousin Jennifer Walters, but Bruce has a supporting role.
Daredevil
Spider-Man: Brand New Day's villain is a mystery, but some signs point towards the Hand. Netflix's Daredevil show is no longer MCU canon, but the Hand is the main villain of Daredevil season 2 – so it could be worth checking out this show's version of the group before Brand New Day. You can also find the Hand in Iron Fist, if you really want to do your homework.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives on July 29 in the UK and July 31 in the US. In the meantime, check out our guide to the Marvel timeline for the story so far.
