(SeaPRwire) – Following a day of brief teaser clips, the full trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived. It offers much to anticipate: featuring all major confirmed cameos such as Punisher and Bruce Banner, plus a glimpse into MJ’s fresh start after forgetting Peter — complete with her new romantic interest (bearing a strong resemblance to Ezra Bridger).
However, a seemingly harmless moment contains a striking contradiction that might have just unveiled the conclusion of another Marvel series entirely. Though there’s a clear practical reason behind it, this doesn’t reduce the narrative inconsistency. See the trailer below:
The problem appears around the 35-second mark. As Peter describes his memory-wiping spell from No Way Home, MJ and Ned are shown watching television, having forgotten their friend is Spider-Man. The broadcast depicts Spider-Man being awarded the key to the city, apparently by the mayor.
Yet we know precisely who currently holds the office of New York City mayor: Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, the antagonist of Daredevil: Born Again. With Season 2 launching in under a week, this footage may have prematurely revealed that Fisk’s term won’t last through the series.
Practically speaking, it’s clear why Wilson Fisk doesn’t appear. Vincent D’Onofrio has stated that Disney’s rights for Kingpin are limited to television series, not films. Some viewers have proposed that the woman presenting the key might be the deputy mayor, circumventing this legal restriction. Yet this theory also falters: Fisk’s entire political agenda in Daredevil: Born Again centers on his opposition to vigilantes. Why would he honor Spider-Man, who embodies everything he despises?
Alternative theories propose this might be a flashback to before Kingpin’s era, but that raises the question of why Ned and MJ would be watching old footage of Spider-Man getting an award. Within the MCU, the most straightforward explanation is typically the right one, suggesting this takes place after Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.
Since Spider-Man: Brand New Day debuts several months after Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, this reveal won’t constitute a spoiler by the time it reaches theaters, and a superhero defeating his greatest foe is hardly surprising. Nevertheless, it would be preferable to experience the narrative as intended, rather than stumbling upon it unintentionally in a brief scene of disinterested characters viewing television.
