Spider-Man: Brand New Day footage reveals a surprise villain is joining the cast

Welp, Tom Holland's webhead is certainly going to have his hands full now. Fresh footage from Spider-Man: Brand New Day has revealed yet another villain is joining the cast.

As revealed in a new TV spot, the hard-headed bad guy Ramrod makes a dash for Spidey and runs straight into a brick wall. Ouch. See the headache-inducing moment for yourself below.

While we don't exactly expect Ramrod to cause Spidey too much trouble, the latest villain appearance continues director Destin Daniel Cretton's trend of paying homage to various classic Spider-Man comic covers.

Already, we've had dalliances with Tarantula and Boomerang glimpsed in trailers, each aping a classic Marvel cover. Now, Ramrod's attack mirrors that of Amazing Spider-Man #221. If you've got that collecting dust in your attic, it might suddenly be worth a lot more after today.

In our opinion, we expect Tarantula, Boomerang, Ramrod (and potentially other C-list villains) to form part of a montage to show how Spidey has kept New York safe in the years since No Way Home.

Unfortunately, the tangled web of baddies grows ever wider. Spider-Man: Brand New Day's synopsis teases an unseen, powerful figure up to no good and lurking in the shadows. There's also the small matter of who Sadie Sink is playing – with Jean Grey among one of our big theories for Brand New Day's mystery villain. Michael Mando's Scorpion still has plenty of sting in his tail, too. The question remains: will there be enough room on the Raft for them all?

Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens in cinemas on July 31. For more, we have a complete guide to the Marvel timeline and, crucially for those looking to catch up, a look at how to watch the Marvel movies in order.
