Much of Brand New Day remains masked in secrecy. Just like the legacy Marvel holds of comebacks of legendary characters, Rumors swirl about the gallery of villains, straight out of the comic books. With Jon Bernthal as  Punisher in the mix, the film promises grittier, more street-level action. It has chances of storyline that comes with lots of fists, knives, and guns, rather than magic. And possibility of Punisher clashing with Versions of Hulk adds a wild and unpredictable twist.

Alongside Jon Bernthal as Punisher, Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Zendaya returns as MJ, and Jacob Batalon as Ned return to the world. Sadie Sink joins the cast in a mysterious new role, adding to the intrigue. The storyline is still a mystery, but all fans are eagerly waiting to see what will happen next when Bernthal returns as the Punisher, especially after the world’s knowledge of Peter Parker as Spider-Man was erased in the previous film, Spider-Man: No Way Home.
