Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into the record books as yesterday’s first trailer smashed the competition to deliver the largest trailer launch on record.

Spider-Man hype just broke the counter. The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day dropped and immediately rewrote the record book. The number is so big it looks fake at first glance.

Brand New Day trailer absolutely obliterates the record

In its first 24 hours, the Brand New Day trailer racked up 718.6 million views. That is the biggest trailer launch on record. Yes, bigger than everything else. Yes, somehow bigger than Grown Ups 2. The previous king was Deadpool & Wolverine with 365 million views two years ago, and Brand New Day passed that in just eight hours. For context, the Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer did 355.5 million in its first day back in 2021, before the movie went on to make $1.9 billion worldwide.

  • Brand New Day trailer: 718.6 million views in 24 hours - new all-time record
  • Blew past the old mark in 8 hours
  • Previous record: Deadpool & Wolverine at 365 million (two years ago)
  • Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer: 355.5 million in 24 hours, movie grossed $1.9 billion
  • Four Avengers: Doomsday teasers combined for 1.02 billion views over time - cumulative, not a single day

So yeah, people are very ready for this one. Could it ultimately out-muscle those Doomsday teasers? On this pace, do not bet against it. Either way, Marvel just booked a monster year.

What the movie is actually about

The film picks up four years after No Way Home. Peter Parker is older, living by himself, and no one remembers who he is because he chose to wipe himself from the lives of the people he cares about. He patrols a New York that does not know him, operating as a full-time Spider-Man while trying to plug every leak in the dam. The job pressure starts to fire off a strange physical shift in him that could put him in real danger. At the same time, a new pattern of crimes points to a major player rising in the shadows.

'An entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man.'

Cast and who is playing who

Tom Holland is back as Peter Parker. Zendaya returns as MJ, and Jacob Batalon returns as Ned. Jon Bernthal shows up as Frank Castle, aka The Punisher. Mark Ruffalo is back as Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk. Michael Mando returns as Mac Gargan, better known as Scorpion, last seen menacing around the edges in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

New faces include Tramell Tillman, Liza Colon-Zayas, and Sadie Sink. Fans are busy guessing who Sink might be playing, with Jean Grey sitting high on the wishlist. Nothing confirmed there yet, just the fun kind of speculation.

Release date

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31.
