The promotional tour for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is reaching new highs, thanks to ads from a massive group of companies. Brand New Day is already expected to be one of the biggest movies of the year, giving the MCU its first theatrical release in a year after 2025's The Fantastic Four: First Steps. After two full trailers released in March and June, plus multiple TV spots, the hype for this movie only continues to grow.
12 major brands have teamed up with Sony Pictures for promotional deals to help advertise Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While Marvel is no stranger to featuring real companies in the MCU, its real-world brand deals also provide other major benefits, including helping balance out the budgets for these massive films. This continues with Brand New Day, which has already garnered incredible interest from diehard Marvel fans and the general public.
