Overview
- Amazon and Fandango announced on Tuesday that U.S. Prime members can sign up for notifications to buy tickets for nationwide early screenings of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 29, two days before the film opens.
- New official poster art and promotional merch have highlighted Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle and Michael Mando’s Scorpion while leaked high‑resolution stills showing Castle, Bruce Banner and Peter Parker have circulated online.
- Tom Holland and filmmakers say they deliberately adjusted the Punisher’s depiction to fit a PG‑13 Spider-Man by finding ways to preserve the character’s tone without graphic violence or strong language.
- Holland also asked director Destin Daniel Cretton to pause and rewrite a scene with Zendaya during filming, a reshoot Holland says improved the sequence.
- The film remains on track for its July 31, 2026 release, studios are expected to release a second trailer soon, and Holland has publicly floated the idea of appearing in an R‑rated Punisher project in the future which would require separate rights and creative negotiations.
