The paths of Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland have been connected for years, long before they finally shared the screen in Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Speaking with Variety, Bernthal reflected on finally working alongside Holland in Brand New Day, as well as their reunion in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. When Bernthal's casting in Brand New Day was first announced, many assumed Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner would once again become Peter Parker's primary mentor. Bernthal says Frank recognizes Peter is starting to walk a dangerous path, one he knows all too well. And Tom's performance as Spider-Man really is that light."
