Get ready to swing into action, because Spider-Man: Brand New Day just dropped some jaw-dropping promo art that’s got fans buzzing—and it’s not just about the web-slinger himself. High-resolution images have leaked, giving us a shadowy yet tantalizing glimpse at the redesigned Scorpion, the comic-accurate Boomerang, and—wait for it—Mark Ruffalo’s return as The Hulk. But here’s where it gets controversial: is this the Scorpion design we’ve been waiting for, or has Marvel taken a bold new direction that might divide fans? Let’s dive in.
The promo art, now available in stunning HD, offers a closer look at Boomerang and Scorpion, both shrouded in mystery but packed with details. Boomerang is a dead ringer for his comic book counterpart, complete with the mask from Superior Foes of Spider-Man and, of course, a boomerang in hand. Fun fact: rumors suggest Tom Holland’s brother, Harry Holland, might be stepping into the role. Could this be a family affair for the Hollands? And this is the part most people miss—Scorpion’s design has undergone a significant change. Mac Gargan’s iconic helmet seems to be missing, and his tail appears translucent with a mysterious spike at the end. What does this mean for the character’s backstory? Only time will tell.
Looming in the background is The Hulk, whose presence raises more questions than answers. Is he green or grey? His posture doesn’t scream Smart Hulk à la She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, leaving us to wonder what version of the character we’ll see. Speaking of casting, Stranger Things star Joe Keery recently addressed rumors of him playing Harry Osborn in the MCU. With a playful shrug, he admitted, ‘I am familiar with Spider-Man,’ leaving the door wide open for speculation. Could this be the crossover we never knew we needed?
Meanwhile, MJ’s rumored boyfriend in the film has sparked curiosity, though it’s unlikely to be Harry Osborn. Ahsoka star Eman Esfandi is reportedly in the running, adding another layer of intrigue. Directed by Shang-Chi helmer Destin Daniel Cretton and penned by Spider-Man franchise veterans Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the film boasts a star-studded cast, including Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal. Florence Pugh is also expected to reprise her role as Yelena Belova, further tying the film into the broader MCU.
But let’s not forget the fans who made this leak possible. Shoutout to Juan (@JuanEditzs) for sharing the HD images of the Brand New Day backpack and additional promo art. These high-quality shots have given us a closer look at the characters, and we can’t wait to see more. Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026, and if these leaks are anything to go by, it’s shaping up to be a game-changer.
Controversy Alert: What do you think of Scorpion’s new design? Is it a bold step forward or a missed opportunity? And is Joe Keery the right choice for Harry Osborn? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear your take!
