The Spider-Man: Brand New Day villain is so far a matter of mystery – but Tom Holland has teased that it'll be unlike anything we've seen before in the MCU.
"The villain that we have in this new movie, which is still very much a secret, is, I think, unlike anything we've seen in one of these movies before," Holland teased to ProSieben. Watch the moment below.

So far, trailers have teased Spidey going up against the Hand, while teaming up with the Punisher and Bruce Banner – and battling a strange illness that affects his powers. Sadie Sink's mystery character is also part of the line-up, and fans are pretty convinced she's playing Jean Grey.
While Holland remained tight-lipped here, though, he might have let a spoiler slip elsewhere. "I think no one remembers that I'm Spider-Man apart from one," he teased in a recent interview.
When his MJ co-star Zendaya said, "Nobody remembers that you're Peter Parker. They know Spider-Man. Spider-Man is Peter Parker," Holland then added: "They know Spider-Man. They just don't know... one person [knows]."
During the Spider-Man: No Way Home ending, Doctor Strange performed a spell that erased the memory of Peter Parker from everyone in the multiverse. That means even MJ and Ned have forgotten Peter, as we see in the trailers. The identity of the one single person who remembers Peter is another of the movie's secrets for now.
