It’s a surprise to see her team face off or maybe even join Spider-Man. Marvel has been making a big push to assemble heroes from across its universe and with Yelena’s arrival, ‘Brand New Day’ may be far more than a traditional Spider-Man story.
Her presence, whether it’s in a formal assignment or a coincidence with Peter, adds a new layer of interest to the movie. Yelena’s arrival provides another key selling point for ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day. For now fans will have to wait to see exactly how Yelena will fit into Spider-Man’s next adventure.
