Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters in less than a week, but that didn't stop Kevin Feige and Punisher star Jon Bernthal from taking to the famed Hall H stage at San Diego Comic-Con to debut a new clip from the movie.
The Comic-Con exclusive clip was introduced by Bernthal, the only Brand New Day cast member to appear on the panel. After a gently amusing, only slightly awkward bit of pre-rehearsed banter between Bernthal and Feige, the clip revealed a Punisher-centric moment in the movie.
In the clip, Spidey and the Hulk are going toe-to-toe when Punisher enters, repeatedly shooting Hulk in the head with an automatic rifle, but the bullets simply bounce off big Green's head. Spidey tosses a web grenade at Hulk, and the professor is briefly suspended in the air by it.
"What are you doing here?" asks an irate Spidey. "What do you think I'm doing here? Saving your ass," replies The Punisher. "This is way above your pay grade," adds Spidey. All of a sudden, the Hulk breaks free and jumps towards them. Spidey, thinking quickly, attaches a web to Frank and slides him under Hulk. Frank tosses Hulk a bomb. "Really?" asks Professor Hulk. Frank shoots the bomb, exploding it and knocking Hulk back.
Frank and Peter take cover, and Peter learns that someone has sent Frank. "She tells me I gotta come watch you," Frank says. "Did she actually say that to you?" asks Peter. "Are you blushing, daffodil?" says Frank. The footage ends with Spidey attempting to get an inhibitor device back on the Hulk, and Frank doesn't want any part of it. "Are you just trying to get out of fighting the Hulk?" asks Spidey. "I guess so," says The Punisher.
