After failing to sell an already questionable launch to Sony's plans for their Spider-verse series of films, the studio has chosen CinemaCon 2018 as the place to debut a brand new trailer for the upcoming comic book action movie. On Sunday, Hardy confirmed that a new trailer would be shown in front of a live CinemaCon audience on Monday night, and so, here we are!

While no official plot details have been revealed, we at least have a brand new trailer to keep us all interested, right?
