We learned from the first trailer back in March that something strange is happening to Peter physically; he woke up surrounded in webbing and sought the help of Banner. It’s possible that Peter’s DNA is mutating, which, said Banner, “would be enormously dangerous.” But if Peter can make it through this new cycle, he might just get a rebirth—and a fresh trilogy of Holland-starring Spider-Man.
In this latest trailer, Peter specifically asks Banner if there is a way to get rid of the bad parts and keep the good parts of whatever is going on with his mutation. Banner’s response: “How would you decide what parts of nature are good or bad?”
Meanwhile, our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is faced with a new threat that nobody can see. Peter is the only person who seems to immune to whatever strange power is affecting everyone else—and the “only one who can sense it.” He does have an ally in Banner, who naturally Hulks out when the situation calls for it. Peter gets a chance to save MJ, who still doesn’t remember their previous reality. And he gets a grumpy pep talk from Frank Castle: “If you’re gonna do something you’d better do it now.” Perhaps those new powers will come in handy in the inevitable showdown.
