Spider-Man: Brand New Day Merch May Reveal How Spidey Will Take Down Savage Hulk - Spoilers

A first look at a new Spider-Man: Brand New Day action figure may reveal how the wall-crawler plans to engage the "Savage" Hulk in combat...

A first look at some new Spider-Man: Brand New Day tie-in merchandise has been shared online, and it might just give us an idea of how Peter Parker (Tom Holland) plans to even the playing field during his battle with the Savage Hulk (Mark Ruffalo).

This Spider-Man action figure features an "Anti-Gamma mode," and the box artwork shows Spidey shooting glowing green "anti-gamma webs."

The wall-crawler is expected to develop organic webbing at some point in Brand New Day (this is the theory based on what we saw in the trailer, anyway), but there's nothing to say he won't create new variations of his man-made web-shooters first.

It's worth keeping in mind that merchandise doesn't always reflect what will actually happen in the movie, but some fairly significant plot points have been spoiled by figures, t-shirts, books, etc, in the past.

We still don't know for certain what leads to Bruce Banner going "Savage" and embarking on an old-school rampage, but rumour has it that Sadie Sink's character (most likely Jean Grey) uses her powers to alter Banner's mind, prompting Spider-Man to join forces with The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) in an attempt to stop him.

Check out the image below, along with a new international poster that was released earlier today.

Following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins a brand new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult and living alone after erasing himself and the memories of him from those he loves. In a New York that no longer knows his name, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting his city as Spider-Man full-time.

But as the demands on him grow, he is put under increasing pressure. This triggers an unexpected physical change that threatens his existence, while a strange wave of crime emerges - and gives rise to one of the most dangerous threats he has ever faced.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O'Connor. The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

Peter is a smart guy, and his science skills never really get the credit they deserve, so his coming up with a way to stop the Hulk with anti-gamma webs is a fun idea.

Will Help but the Hulk is Still Much Stronger. The Hulk Lifts Mountain Ranges. Spider-Man can't. The Hulk beat the Gladiator to Bloody Pulp.

I know it doesn’t follow the comics cannon, but I’d love for the Savage persona to be Grey Hulk. But Smart Hulk didn’t have a diffeeemt color, and I guess technically in Incredible Hulk, that was Savage Hulk. Just would love to see Grey Hulk.

Im telling you, by the end of brand new day, bruce banner is gonna find himself locked up in the raft with ross and the leader, maybe even abomination. And if this is supossed to happen before doomsday, then it makes the leaders prediction more ominous. Plus its setting up world war hulk nicely

Reminds me of that awful Suicide Squad game where every mission is "shoot these Brainiac robots until you unlock the yellow energy bullets that can take down Green Lantern" and then "shoot these Brainiac robots until you unlock the anti-speed force bullets that can take down the Flash."

Hmm still thinking it’s scorpion who causes the change with a dose of his poison.

Of course he beats the MCU Hulk, he hasn’t won a fight since 2012’s Avengers! The tv Hulk was stronger than the MCU’s version! Knowing Peter, he probably cures him! lol

Also, not a big fan of the transforming man-spider subplot. Seems over stuffed already with all the guest stars and villains in this.

@OneMoreTime - I’ve always been more of a Hulk smash kinda guy. I hated the way he was portrayed in that film. If you’re going the Professor Hulk route, he needs to be more like Peter David’s run. He was still smart, but also still dangerous. This Hulk was basically just Mark Ruffalo playing himself.

@Huskers - I didn't mind Smart Hulk, but that's because I figured that after Endgame, Ruffalo, like Evans and RDJ, had fulfilled his contract and would be walking. Hulk had his arc from savage to smart, and the character would be retired. Had I known he was going to maintain a presence in the MCU beyond Endgame, I'd have had more of an issue with it.

Now, though, it appears we'll be getting savage Hulk back, at least for Brand New Day. He's not slated to appear in Doomsday, but will be back in Secret Wars. Whether savage or smart, who knows?
