Brand New Day’ Gets Easily Its Weirdest Insider Scoop Yet

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Marvel

As with all high-profile comic book movies these days, leaks and insider scoops are everywhere, some valid, some not. But today, we have probably the weirdest reveal I’ve seen since Spider-Man: Brand New Day rumors started, and I do mean reveal.

From well-known insider DanielRPK (who first revealed Punisher and Hulk were in Brand New Day), he reports that in the movie there’s a scene where Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova see each other naked. That is uh, something.

However, this may not be entirely accurate. A separate insider, James Mack, says that it’s just Yelena seeing Peter naked. That would be more in line with what we’ve already seen in trailers, where there’s at least one scene where Peter wakes up shirtless, buried in webbing, and I do wonder if that scene was digitally altered to…add clothes. But with this weird transformation he’s undergoing, that may be the moment referenced here. That would probably come off a bit less…strange, played more for laughs, and I’d buy that being the case more than both of them.

While not as urgent as the desire to find out the villain Sadie Sink is playing in the film (everyone’s best guess right now is a rogue Jean Grey), we also have seen absolutely nothing about Yelena Belova’s role in Spider-Man. That’s at least a bit unusual as previous reports about Spider-Man fighting Hulk and teaming up with Punisher have been proven true as seen in the official trailers. Yelena, however, is nowhere to be found.
