An interesting Spider-Man Brand New Day rumor has made its way online, fueling more speculation about what will happen in the film. Fans were treated to exciting news recently that Jon Bernthal would reprise his role as Frank Castle/The Punisher. 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home was a massive box office hit, making it clear that a fourth film was inevitable. Tom Holland will reprise his role as the web-crawler Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

Before the rumor, an intriguing Spider-Man Brand New Day report alleged that Avengers vet Mark Ruffalo would return to reprise his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk in the movie. A new rumor alleges that Holland’s Spider-Man and Bernthal’s Punisher will team up in the movie. In addition, the rumor also alleges that the pair will engage in battle against Savage Hulk.

Daniel Ritchman, a.k.a DanielRPK and a well-known Marvel leaker, claimed that the Hulk will fight Spider-Man and Punisher. Savage Hulk is Hulk’s dark alter ego in the comics, but at the moment, Ruffalo’s casting is not yet confirmed. Neither the studio nor major outlets have confirmed if Ruffalo will be in Spider-Man Brand New Day. Ruffalo debuted as The Hulk in 2012’s The Avengers. 

Destin Daniel Cretton will direct the fourth Spider-Man filmand Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers will write the screenplay. Cretton previously worked with Marvel Studios when he directed 2021’s Shang-Chi: Legend of The Ten Rings. He was initially going to direct Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but that fell apart when Johnathan Majors was fired due to legal issues. Holland made his debut as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, and reprised the role in his three solo movies, along with Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019).

Holland will return to reprise his role as the web-slinger. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will also reprise their roles as MJ Watson and Ned Leeds, respectively. Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas have been cast in the film, with undisclosed roles. Spider-Man Brand New Day is produced by Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, Avi Arad, and Louis D’Esposito. Holland, Zendaya, and Bernthal will have a busy 2026, as they will be featured in this film and star together in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which is scheduled to be released two weeks before Spider-Man 4.

Final Thoughts

The film is scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 31, 2026, which is not too long after The Odyssey. Also, the movie will debut the same month as the live-action Moana. Spider-Man Brand New Day’s synopsis was recently revealed, centering on Peter adjusting to life after the events of No Way Home. The next Marvel Studios film scheduled for this summer is Fantastic Four: First Steps, which is set to hit theaters in 20 days. It will be the family’s debut on-screen for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
