Spider-Man: Brand New Day may have just set up a major Avengers: Doomsday threat

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has sparked speculation about its potential impact on the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday movie, set to release on December 18. According to Polygon, the film may have set up a major threat for the Avengers, as Peter Parker's actions in Brand New Day could have unintended consequences.

Peter Parker has a history of causing problems, including breaking the multiverse in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The Verge reports that a bootleg of Spider-Man: Brand New Day was leaked on social media, reaching over 5.9 million accounts and accumulating 143,000 likes before being pulled down. Despite this, the film is expected to perform well at the box office, having already raked in $72 million in previews.

This amount already exceeds the preview earnings of Avengers: Endgame in 2019, which went on to set records. Tom Holland stars in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and his performance has received positive reviews.
