"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" trailer suspicion of "character hiding" - fans' considerations surrounding Peter's "transformation"
Marvel's editing trick again? The first trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been a hot topic among fans for the possibility that multiple characters from certain scenes have been intentionally removed through digital processing. This is a method that Marvel movies have done several times in their trailers so far. The problem is just the last part of the trailer. It is a dramatic scene in which Spider-Man jumps out vigorously towards a group of ninjas. While it's a great shot, fans believe Marvel doesn't "show the whole picture" here either. Looking in the direction the ninjas are jumping, it seems that there is not Spider-Man, but someone who is heading towards another target that is not reflected here. This has led to speculation that they may have prepared a separate version of the footage to hide certain characters to hide spoilers for the story.

Even then, it included shots of enemy characters appearing to charge into the air, and Marvel had manipulated the footage to keep their appearances secret before release (although Garfield and Maguire appear there in the final version). There are other examples of Marvel secretly editing trailers. The "Hulk goes to battle" scene that appeared in the trailer for "Avengers: Infinity War" is known to be a cut that is not in the main story. In addition, a version of Thanos' gauntlet with the Infinity Stone was used, and there was also a directing to hide the increase in power. The trailer for Avengers: Endgame also made various changes to the character's appearance (for example, to make Captain America's shield appear unbroken and hide that it would later be damaged). The trailer for Thunderbolts* has also been edited, hiding its untimely death by increasing the number of scenes in which certain characters appear. Marvel was pretty sneaky with that Brand New …...
