The short answer

Bruce Banner sits at the heart of the story: he has built a device meant to block his transformation, while Peter grows organic webs and eyes that turn pitch black. The telepathic character played by Sadie Sink is said to unleash the green giant against him. We break down every clue below. Worth reading alongside this: Bruce Banner in Brand New Day: the professor, the chip and the relapse.

This is it: the second trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has landed. Posted by Sony on 17 June 2026 — the very day tickets went on sale —, this new trailer does not just show more: it drops the wildest revelations since the film was announced. The return of the Savage Hulk, Peter Parker's unsettling mutation and the first real glimpse of Sadie Sink's powers set social media alight within minutes. Six weeks before the French release date of 29 July 2026, we round up everything this second trailer taught us — and everything it is still hiding. To go further on this subject, see also Spider-Man: Brand New Day — the final trailer decoded.

The trailer's bombshell: the Savage Hulk is back

This is THE revelation nobody saw coming. The trailer confirms the return of Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner — but not just any Banner, and not just any Hulk. We get the Savage Hulk, the most bestial and uncontrollable version of the green giant, the one fans have been calling for over more than a decade. In the trailer, Peter goes to find Banner, who has developed a device capable of removing the mutation from his DNA and preventing his transformation. Banner's warning is blood-curdling: 'If you ever see me without this device... run.' To go further on this subject, see also Organic webs: why Peter's spider DNA is taking over in Brand New Day.

Seeing Spider-Man take on the Savage Hulk is a fan dream come true. The two heroes have already crossed paths in the comics, and their duels are among Marvel's most memorable — a legacy we trace in our feature on the iconic fights between Spider-Man and Hulk. But here the context is new: this is not a punch-up born of a misunderstanding, it is an orchestrated threat. And that is where everything connects.

Peter Parker's mutation: organic webs and black eyes

The synopsis teased it, the second trailer shows it head-on: Peter Parker is going through a biological evolution as fascinating as it is frightening. The trailer digs far deeper into this mutation, which now gives him organic webs — as in Sam Raimi's trilogy — and which, at times, turns his eyes completely black. This subtle body horror gives the film a darker, more mature tone, faithful to the shift that began after the events of No Way Home.

This transformation is not a cosmetic detail: it is the heart of the plot. If Banner has developed a device precisely to 'remove mutant DNA', it is because Peter's mutation and the threat hanging over him are linked. The film seems to be exploring a dizzying question: what if Spider-Man's power started to outgrow him? This fresh start, lonelier and more dangerous, extends what we described in our analysis of the great reset that changed Peter Parker's life.

Sadie Sink finally revealed: she is the one who unleashes the Hulk

The film's most talked-about mystery has just taken a leap forward. The second trailer offers the first real glimpse of Sadie Sink's character: a hooded figure using mental powers. We see her communicating with Peter by telepathy and seemingly changing appearance. But the shock revelation is her role: she would be the one who unleashes the Savage Hulk and turns him against Spider-Man, no doubt to protect her secret.

Telepathy, mind control, a hood, immense powers: all of it fuels the theory that has been stirring fans for months, the Jean Grey theory. We devoted a full investigation to who Sadie Sink really plays and the Jean Grey theory, and this new trailer only strengthens that lead. If it is confirmed, the stakes go beyond Spider-Man: it would mean the arrival of the mutants in the MCU, through the web-slinger's door — a long-standing link recalled in our feature on the links between Spider-Man and the X-Men. Marvel, true to its strategy, is keeping the secret right to the end.

Is the Punisher in on it?

Another detail spotted by the most eagle-eyed fans: Frank Castle, the Punisher played by Jon Bernthal, does not seem affected by the mental 'wave' that hits the other characters. An anomaly that has not escaped the theorists. According to the rumours going around, the Punisher could be in league with Sadie Sink's character, perhaps tasked with protecting her from the Department of Damage Control.

This murky position fits perfectly with the street-level, criminal atmosphere the film cultivates, and with the complex relationship the two characters share in the comics, which we explore in our article on Spider-Man and the Punisher, from enemy to unstable partner. Ally, enemy, or both at once? The trailer keeps the doubt alive with real skill.

The handmade suit and the 'web tornado' driving fans wild

Beyond the plot revelations, the second trailer made its mark with its filmmaking. Reactions on social media are unanimously enthusiastic. Fans are praising the 'handmade' suit, more practical and more textured, with one user writing that 'the creases give it life'. One sequence in particular has everyone agreeing: the 'web tornado', a tornado of webbing described as 'the coolest thing ever seen' in a Spider-Man film.

Many also point out that the swinging scenes recall The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the absolute benchmark of the genre for many fans. 'It looks cinematic, Spider-Man is cool and sarcastic, there's drama, there's creativity', sums up one widely shared comment. After the Stark suit of the early films, this return to a more handmade, more mature Spider-Man confirms the character's new direction, in line with everything we anticipated about the release date and cast of Spider-Man 4.

The awkward record: both trailers leaked

All this hype comes with a cloud over Marvel and Sony, though. The second trailer leaked massively online before its official release on 17 June — exactly as the first one did. It is a first in MCU history: never before had both trailers for the same film leaked ahead of their planned release. An unenviable record, which says a great deal about the sheer scale of anticipation around the film... and about how hard studios find it to contain the excitement.

Sony has officially responded to the leaks, without managing to stem the tide. For fans, it is above all a sign that Brand New Day has become one of the most closely watched film events of the year — on a par with the reunion teased in our feature on Spider-Man's role in Avengers: Doomsday.

See you on 29 July 2026: how to get ready

With this second trailer, the picture is getting clearer: a Peter Parker mid-mutation, a Savage Hulk set loose against him, a mysterious telepath pulling the strings and a Punisher whose role is murky. All in a film that looks set to be the darkest and most mature of the Tom Holland era. Tickets are already on sale, and the release is set for 31 July in the United States and 29 July 2026 in France.

Until then, to make sure you miss nothing of the context and walk into the cinema perfectly prepared, our guide how to be ready for the Spider-Man event of the year sums up everything you need to have seen. And to live the release to the full, kit yourself out with figures, costumes and posters in the web-slinger's colours. One thing is certain: after this trailer, the wait until 29 July is going to feel long.
