New Spider-Man: Brand New Day teaser sees Peter Parker fight Savage Hulk – and might have spoiled the return of a fan-favorite villain
Is that Shocker's gauntlet?
A new Japanese TV spot for Spider-Man has arrived, and it sees Peter Parker take on Savage Hulk... and it may or may not be with some help from a fan-favorite villain.
In the brief clip, which can be viewed below, Peter and Bruce face off. We know from previous trailers that Hulk is being controlled by whoever Sadie Sink's character is, which is more or less what turns him into the angriest and most mindless version of himself (and we know that it's Savage Hulk specifically thanks to a line of Brand New Day tie-in toys). Perhaps the most curious thing, however, is what Peter is using to fight Hulk: a weapon attached to his arm that appears to shoot electric currents. This looks like the gauntlet used by none other than Shocker, who has been rumored to reappear in Brand New Day for quite some time now.
In the comics, both Jackson Brice and Herman Schultz have taken on the Shocker mantle. Both characters appear as associates of Adrian Toomes in Spider-Man: Homecoming, with Toomes accidentally killing Brice and therefore making Herman the new Shocker. Does the (potential) appearance of Shocker also mean that Adrian Toomes could be returning...? The last we saw him was in the post-credits scene of Morbius, where he was transported to Earth-688B (the universe where all of the Sony Spider-Man characters live), so we do know he's out of prison. We'll just have to wait and see.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31. While we wait, check out our guide to all the upcoming Marvel movies or our breakdown on how to watch the Spider-Man movies in order.
