The full trailer got leaked. Yup, really does look they're doing their version of "The Other".

Oh, dear. I wasn't a fan of that storyline, and I've always hated the idea of organic webshooters. (Why would they be in his wrists? How do they not dehydrate him and drain his body of nutrients? How do they generate enough pressure to shoot out webbing hundreds of feet, which is nothing like how actual spiders' spinnerets work?) But I suppose it could work if they use it as a parallel for Peter dealing with the other changes in his life, his adjustment to the loss of identity.

I suppose it makes sense to include the Punisher in a Spider-Man movie, because he originated as a Spider-Man villain. But by the same token, I hope they keep his role here antagonistic, as someone that Spidey's trying to prevent from killing people, instead of someone he ends up teaming up with.

Was that Laurence Fishburne doing the narration about spider life cycles? Is Bill Foster in this film? I guess it makes sense that an associate of Hank Pym would know a fair amount about entomology.

It bugged me how, twice, they had Peter pull down the front of his mask, and then a second later it was perfectly, seamlessly tucked into the collar all the way around. I could excuse that in a cartoon, but seeing something so blatantly cartoony in live action is off-putting.
 
Was that Keith David doing the narration about spider life cycles?
I wish but Christopher is right it's Laurence Fishbourne, which completely threw me off since I hadn't even seen a rumor that he would be in this.

Although I have a suspicion.
that brief scene implying some sort of mind controlling entity jumping from person to person could be Jean Grey shenanigans
That's been the rumors for a long time but I still don't buy it.

Or spoiled by funko pops or lego sets as is the recent trend of how these things go :D
...much to Tom Holland's relief. ;)

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what was up with that, I cannot come up with any Spider-Man villains who can body jump like there. I know Mr. Negative can alter people's minds, but that's the closest I can come up with.
Loved the trailer, looks like it's going to be a lot of fun.
All the stuff with him mutating was a bit of a surprise.
I can understand him wanting to see MJ and Ned, but I just hope they don't go to far with all of that and turn him into a creepy stalker.
Looks like the stuff with Peter and Frank Castle is going to a lot of fun.
 
I don't recall right now who that Leaker said Sadie Sink was playing, but this trailer confirmed that they (the Leaker) were right about Banner and The Hand, so I wouldn't be surprised if they (the Leaker) end up being proven right re: Sadie as well.

About the film itself, I need more before I can say that I'm interested, so give it to me quickly, Sony.
 
It's been a while since I've seen the other Spiderman movies, but seeing Peter being so depressed gave me some pause. I wonder if I need to see the other Spiderman movies again to understand this or or if it's not necessary.
 
No, I’m pretty sure that’s Keith David.

He has a very distinctive voice.
Yeah, you're right. I was listening to it on low volume in public so I misheard. It's weird because the second time I listened, I was listening to see which it was and my thought went from David to Fishbourne. Weird.

Either way, very cool that he's part of the cast! Keith David is always welcomed.

The MCU keeps making characters I don't like from the comics enjoyable (Frank and Bullseye). It's fun. Bernthal brings a humanity that's lacking in the 616 psychopath. I keep rooting for his Punisher to see the light and be a proper hero, even knowing he won't in the long run.

There a LOT of characters in this trailer. And at least one we didn't see at all that we know is still there.

Was that Keith David? It sure sounded like Keith David. Who the hell is Keith David playing in this movie? I'm excited because I love the actor.

The Other. A bold choice. I'd be worried, but the filmmakers managed to take elements from One More Day, one of the worst Spider-man stories of all time, and work it into a great movie. So they've earned the benefit of the doubt. A little.

Scorpion IN THE SUIT! Boomerang. Mind control (Sadie Sink not beating those Jean Grey allegations any time soon). I didn't see any of Tombstone so far, though he's reportedly in the film. The Hand (ugh). Frank and Banner to be expected. Man-Spider? That would be fun, but I don't know how you resolve that. I could do without the organic web-shooters, though it would make a great joke if MCU Pete ever meets Toby-Pete again. Somebody with metal claws in their feet, which would usually be X-23's vibe. My brain goes straight to Akihiro/Daken, but that doesn't feel right.

The teaser has a little bit darker tone than the earlier film trio. Hope they stick landing. (Please tell me you see what I did there. Dad joke, ftw!)
 
An alleged leak of the plot was posted on twitter in January, everything in this trailer was in that plot leak so it seems it was real. Or at least the parts that line up with the trailer, for all we know the person saw the trailer early and made up everyone else.

But still, be careful of spoilers.
 
I think some of the villains we see here will be shown briefly in the first act of the movie.
My guess we’ll see Peter going through the motions fighting enemy after enemy day in day out, with his Spidey life being very episodic, before he runs into MJ and Ned again.
