The film «Spider-Man: Brand New Day» may become one of the most villain-packed projects in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Insider MyTimeToShineHello reported that up to eight antagonists will appear in the film. Among the likely candidates are Scorpion (Michael Mando's role has already been confirmed), Tombstone, Tarantula, Boomerang, and Ramrod. Red Hulk, Chameleon, Venom, and other characters are also expected to participate.
Some of these assumptions are related to photographs of comic book issues that director Daniel Cretton is inspired by. His assistant published them at the end of July 2025, but later deleted them. On the covers, you could notice hints of Tarantula and Boomerang, and one of the issues with the battle against Boomerang also hinted at the appearance of Venom.
Also, The Cosmic Circus previously wrote that most of the villains will appear in a montage sequence: viewers will be shown how Peter fought crime for several years after the events of «No Way Home». Each fight will affect his experience and appearance — this is how Marvel plans to explain the gradual updating of the Spider-Man suit up to the final version, which will be shown in «Brand New Day».
While Marvel has not officially confirmed the information, leaks should be treated with caution.
The premiere of the film «Spider-Man: Brand New Day» is scheduled for July 31, 2026.
