Mark Ruffalo's Hulk confirmed for Spider-Man 4
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 57-year-old actor will reprise his role of Bruce Banner / The Hulk in the upcoming Sony/Marvel movie sequel, alongside Tom as Spider Man.
Michael Mando will also return to his role of the Scorpion, the villain from 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, along with Jon as vigilante the Punisher.
Tom, 29, recently revealed how excited he is to return to the Spider Man universe, after COVID-19 restrictions made shooting difficult on the third movie, 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home.
He told Flip Your Wig: 'I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of Covid. We shot the entire film on stages. Now we're really going to lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations.
'We are going to use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together.'
Tom added that playing Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter-ego is like 'like hanging out with an old pal' and filming the fourth movie is 'going to feel like making 'Spider-Man 1 [2017's 'Spider-Man: Homecoming] again'.
He added: 'It's been such a long time that I've done it that it's going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we're putting together.'
Zendaya will also be returning as MJ in Spider-Man 4, along with Jacob Batalon as Peter Parker's best friend Ned.
Sadie Sink has joined the cast, but her character has not been revealed.

Tom Holland admits James Bond would be 'pinnacle' of his career
Tom Holland has admitted playing James Bond would be the "pinnacle" of his career. The Spider-Man star is said to be in the frame to portray the suave spy in Denis Villeneuve's upcoming movie in the franchise and while the 29-year-old actor refused to be drawn on the speculation, he suggested landing the role would be a dream come true. Speaking to Gordon Ramsay on YouTube, he said of the rumours: 'Listen, there's speculation at the moment. We'll keep it to a minimum for now. We'll get there one day." The Hell's Kitchen star then further pressed Tom on the issue. He said: 'Can you imagine what's going to happen to your life if you do? First of all, you'd love that opportunity, right?' Tom replied: 'I mean every young British actor, it's the pinnacle of working in our industry. I already consider myself to be the luckiest kid alive. I could not have dreamed to have the career that I have.' The Devil All the Time actor's comments come shortly after Rocketman star Taron Egerton dismissed the idea he could replace Daniel Craig as 007 because he is "too messy". Asked about the possibility of playing Bond, he told Collider: "I don't think I'm a good choice for it. I think I'm too messy for that. "I think I'm not— I really love James Bond and particularly Daniel Craig's tenure. But I think I wouldn't be good at it, and I think there's so many cool, younger actors who would be great for it. I think it would be wasted on me, probably." Taron observed that leading the Bond franchise is "quite an undertaking". And he suggested that the scale of the project might not suit him, either. The 35-year-old actor explained: "That's not to say that I don't have aspirations and plans and also that I wouldn't be interested in doing something that's more commercial, because of course I would. I think I'm a period in my life where, as you say, I've been probably following the things that speak to me on a creative level a little bit more, but, you know, I'm sure I won't feel that way forever. "But James Bond is quite an undertaking and I think, one, as far as I'm aware, nobody's asking me to do it." Taron suggested that he might find more satisfaction in pursuing other film projects. He said: "It's possibly not quite the thing that would make me happiest. I do think it's a big old undertaking, it kind of consumes your life, a role like that." Meanwhile, Sydney Sweeney is reportedly being lined up to play the next Bond girl. The 27-year-old actress is wanted by new 007 director Denis Villeneuve for a role in the upcoming film and the move is said to have the backing of Amazon boss Jeff Bezos, with the company acquiring creative control of the spy franchise from long-serving producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson. A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: "Sydney is the top name on the casting sheet for Bond. "Denis believes she is hugely talented, as well as having an alluring appeal to younger generations, vital in modernising the franchise. "They've hung out together a lot and he has admired her stratospheric rise. "Plus Sydney has the quality of being athletic and able to perform physical scenes, as well as being feminine and following in the legacy of the Bond girls."

Seth Rogen: acting chemistry is a mysterious thing
Seth Rogen considers on-screen chemistry to be a "mysterious thing". The 43-year-old has developed a very successful working partnership with Australian actress Rose Byrne over the years, but he struggles to explain why some actors form such productive partnerships. Rogen - who stars alongside Byrne in Platonic, the TV comedy series - told The Hollywood Reporter: "In film chemistry is a mysterious thing; you never know who you're going to have good chemistry with. "There's people who are great friends in real life that have terrible chemistry on screen," he said. "I've had great chemistry with people I don't particularly like that much and so I'm very lucky in this situation where I have chemistry with someone who I actually like. So I think that's why we keep working together over and over again." Rogen and his writing partner, Evan Goldberg, now have their own production company and the comedy star previously reflected on his changing status in Hollywood. "There was a meeting with an executive who was giving us notes when we were young who said, 'I got into this because I love movies and now it's my job to ruin them'," he told Sharp magazine. "That one sentence really resonated heavily with us. Most importantly, we started to view it as being very comedic, like, it's a very funny dynamic if you love movies and the people associated with them. "A lot of these people who work at studios just want to be liked by the filmmakers and the actors and the writers, and they just want to feel as though they're part of the creative side of things. But at the same time, they're constantly having to do things for their own self-preservation." Rogen has actually witnessed a "huge dynamic shift" during his time in Hollywood. "I'm so used to being 20 years younger than the people that I'm reporting to that it only reaffirms this subservient dynamic. And I think now that I'm older, you start to view it much more of like, 'These are people I work with and together we have to make a good thing.' And they want it to be good, but they also don't want to get fired." Seth Rogen considers on-screen chemistry to be a "mysterious thing".

Legacies and laughs: Tom Lehrer and Dame Cleo Laine
Two legendary singers and favourite guests of The Music Show passed away this week at 97 years old: Tom Lehrer and Dame Cleo Laine. Dame Cleo Laine was one of England's most acclaimed jazz singers, with a distinctive smoky contralto voice and four octave vocal range. She was also an actor, initially confined to Caribbean characters and expanding to major roles in A Midsummer Night's Dream , Into the Woods , and even as the voice of God in Noye's Fludde . In this candid 2004 interview, Andrew Ford sat down with Cleo in Rochester Castle to speak about Damehood, her love of Shakespeare and jazz, and passing on music education to the next generations. Armed with a piano and microphone, Tom Lehrer took on many social and political issues of the Cold War era. His pastiche satirical songs remain startlingly relevant today. In 2000, decades after he retired from touring and became an academic, he spoke to Andrew Ford on The Music Show. He reminisced fondly about his 1960 tour of Australia which saw him threatened with jail time in South Australia if he was to perform five of his songs.
