So here’s a cosmic kicker to chew on: with Mercury moonwalking through playful Leo, could it be fate that the Jackie Chan Stunt Team is leaping right into the heart of the MCU’s next big swing? Destin Daniel Cretton, fresh off the kung-fu glory of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, is now piloting Spider-Man: Brand New Day, bringing along none other than Jackie Chan’s acrobatic maestros. If their jaw-dropping choreography in Karate Kid: Legends and Shang-Chi has you buzzing, hold onto your webs—this Spider-Man flick promises fight sequences packed with classic Chan pizzazz and death-defying flips that’ll make even the stars wink. Oh, and did I mention Jackie himself popped over to the set, much to the director’s giddy delight? With Tom Holland back as Spidey, Jon Bernthal suiting up as The Punisher, and a stellar cast weaving their magic, this Brand New Day might just spin a dazzling new web in the MCU tapestry. Are we ready for a stellar blend of martial artistry and superhero swagger? I’m counting the cosmic minutes. LEARN MORE
Destin Daniel Cretton of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings takes the reins on the MCU Spider-Man franchise and the director brought over the trusty advisors and crew of the Jackie Chan Stunt Team with him. In Karate Kid: Legends this past summer, you can see some of the amazing acrobatic work and throwback to Chan’s classic action that his team was able to design (when it’s not marred by the editing). Couple that with the fun fights they created in Shang-Chi and there may be some great sequences in store for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Total Film reveals that Chan himself was not far from his stunt team when he recently made a surprise visit to the Spider-Man Brand New Day set. The martial arts icon told the Chinese publication, HK01,
I went to London for a meeting and visited the set. My Jackie Chan Stunt Team was busy filming Spider-Man, and I was the action director for the Jackie Chan Stunt Team. I went to watch their rehearsals, and the director was so excited when he saw me.”
Shang-Chi featured one of the last works for the late action choreographer Bradley James Allan, who some may know as the adversary who fought Jackie Chan in a couple of bouts in the movie Gorgeous. Despite the unfortunate absence of Allan, Chan’s stunt team being in charge may still mean we are in for some amazing acrobatic fight scenes.
Cretton is directing Spider-Man: Brand New Day from a screenplay by Chris McKenna, who has worked on all three of the previous Holland films. Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker, a.k.a. Spider-Man. Brand New Day finds Jon Bernthal playing Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, alongside Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned. Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) stars in an unspecified role, and The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas is also new to the franchise. Michael Mando, who played Mac Gargan/Scorpion in Spider-Man: Homecoming, is back, and Mark Ruffalo is in the mix as Bruce Banner, a.k.a. The Hulk.
It was also recently reported that Tramell Tillman joined the film. He is best known for playing Seth Milchick in the sensational and strange Apple TV series Severance, and recently played Captain Bledsoe in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
