Spider-Man, Spider-Man, got some news about Spider-Man… that’s right, webheads, a fresh helping of Spidey news is coming right at you just in time for the weekend. As production gets underway on Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day up in Glasgow, today has already given us our first glimpse at Tom Holland’s up-to-date Spidey suit for next summer’s hotly anticipated MCU fourquel. And now, thanks to THR, another tantalising tease of what’s to come has just landed on our desk: confirmation that none other than Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, last seen in She-Hulk back in 2022, will be seen smashing it up alongside Holland’s wall crawler in Cretton’s film.
What’s more, Bruce Banner isn’t the only familiar face from the MCU THR has just confirmed will be in Brand New Day — Michael Mando, aka Spider-Man Homecoming‘s Scorpion (aka one sixth of baddie supergroup The Sinister Six), is also getting in on the action as Marvel Studios looks to put the ‘Neighbourhood’ back in Peter Parker’s Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man with a more street-level next outing. News of Mando and Ruffalo’s involvement — alongside the already announced returns of Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Jacob Batalon’s Ned Leeds, and Zendaya’s MJ — is only adding to the intrigue building around Brand New Day, which is set to pick up the action in a world where everybody’s forgotten Spider-Man’s true identity, Tony Stark is dead, and the Avengers are not-so-handily AWOL.
Throw in some alleged on-set sightings of armoured trucks bearing symbols connected to Mr. Negative, the main villain of Insomniac’s Spider-Man game (and a long-rumoured potential substantial bad for this film), and the intriguing castings of Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas in still as-yet-undisclosed roles, and there’s a real sense that we’re heading into electrifying, uncharted territory with Shang-Chi director Cretton’s first Spidey joint. (Which, lest we forget, shares its title with one of the most talked about stories in contemporary Marvel comics.) We’ll find out what exactly Cretton and co are cooking when Spider-Man: Brand New Day thwips into cinemas on 31 July, 2026. Only 363 days to go!
