Fans Think Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer #2 Audio May Have Just Leaked Online (But Is It Real?)

Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer #2 is coming in just a couple of weeks; however, it now sounds as though the trailer audio may have leaked online. In a world that is being reshaped by A.I.-generated media, nothing is guaranteed – especially considering it’s easier to create select elements (audio or video), but combining those elements is where the technology can break down. As a result, there’s reason to be skeptical of anything that “leaks” online without context these days – as we’ve seen plenty of leaked “artwork” and character designs that have turned out to be fan-art/outright pranks on fans.

That all said, fans are convinced the trailer audio is real – there’s the kind of distortion you’d expect from audio recorded off of a video playing on a computer – but it’s got a score, lines, and SFX noises. Assuming the audio is real, it’s not the most “descriptive” trailer, despite Peter Parker once again narrating a big chunk of it. Fans report hearing a clip of Sadie Sink’s still-unconfirmed character, Punisher razzing Spidey, several Hulk roars (including the assertion that this might be the “biggest” iteration of the character so far in the MCU), as well as making it clear that Spidey’s mutation (and race to stop it) is the main through-line for the story.

What We Learned From the Brand New Day “Leak”

One of the most telling lines from the trailer is a different version of the scene between Banner and Peter, where the two discuss editing their mutations (transcription courtesy of Spidey Source):

• Peter: Dr. Banner, you figured out a way to suppress mutating DNA, right?
• Banner: If you see me without this, run! (referring to his Hulk dampening device)
• Peter: Theoretically, could you get rid of the bad aspects, but keep the good?
• Banner: How would you decide what parts of nature are good or bad?

That exchange reinforces the central challenge Peter faces: how to stop the undesirable aspects of his mutation but keep the parts that allow him to be Spider-Man. Meanwhile, the dialogue makes it clear that if something were to happen to Banner’s Hulk-suppressing device, Hulk would come out swinging. Given what we hear in the rest of the trailer, along with set photos of Banner on a stretcher, it’s pretty clear that line is serving multiple purposes.

Additionally, that exchange is key to a very important piece of the MCU going forward: actual mutants and how the world will react (both good and bad) to their emergence. If Sink is playing Jean Grey, as some have theorized, there’s an intriguing juxtaposition being set up – if she’s been imprisoned, experimented on, and mistreated, the theme is all the more poignant.

Trailer #2 had reportedly been slated to release on June 17th – so it will be interesting to see if Sony pushes that up in light of the leak.

This is a developing story… and will be updated as we learn more.
