We Found Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s Secret Villain

The trailers and teasers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day show villains like Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tarantula. They also feature Spider-Man fighting the Hulk, along with a mysterious hooded character who can control people’s minds. But Brand New Day star Tom Holland says the movie’s ultimate villain has not been revealed yet, and that no one has figured out the true secret of the movie so far.

But we think the ScreenCrush team might have finally cracked it. In our latest Brand New Day video, we’ll look at the entire cast of the movie, and show why this combination of supporting characters — Punisher, the Hulk — really only make sense with one particular secret bad guy at the center of the story. We’ll also discuss popular theories about Jean Grey of the X-Men and even the Venom symbiote, and show why something from the Wonder Man TV series might actually be the biggest clue of all.
