Marvel's new crossover: 'The Punisher' joins Spider-Man

Jon Bernthal is bringing his gritty Punisher character to the big screen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, marking his first MCU film appearance.
The movie, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, picks up after No Way Home—where everyone has forgotten Peter Parker's identity.

TL;DR

'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'—what we know so far

This sequel brings back Tom Holland as Spider-Man with Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Sadie Sink joining the cast.
With filming set for summer 2025 in England and Bernthal's Punisher entering the mix, fans can expect a darker, more intense vibe.
Holland calls it a "new beginning" for Spidey—so if you're into Marvel crossovers or want to see Spider-Man take on tougher challenges, this one's worth keeping an eye on.
