The Iconic Marvel Superhero Set to Return for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'
The Iconic Marvel Superhero Set to Return for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' originally appeared on Parade.
It's a common characteristic of Marvel's movies and TV series to feature returning appearances from certain fan-favorite characters.
Whether discussing Iron Man's supporting appearance in Spider-Man: Homecoming or Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's iterations of New York's webslinger in No Way Home, Marvel has always found a way to reintroduce some of their most iconic heroes and villains into future superhero outings.
As development continues on the MCU's latest venture, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it seems that the comic book company is once again eyeing a plethora of iconic faces to team up with Tom Holland's puckish Peter Parker.
In particular, Jon Bernthal's grizzled anti-hero Frank Castle, better known by his comic book alter ego The Punisher, is officially set to return in Marvel's upcoming Spider-Man film.
The 48-year Bernthal previously debuted as the character in Netflix's widely loved Daredevil TV series. Following his initial introduction on the show, The Punisher eventually managed to secure his own two-season-long Netflix series, detailing the vigilante's violent crusade against New York's criminal underworld.
As with each of Netflix's Marvel series, The Punisher was ultimately canceled after its initial two seasons. In more recent years, however, Bernthal's version of the character returned in Disney+'s Daredevil: Born Again, ensuring his successful transition into the mainstream MCU.
Details about Brand New Day's plot have remained incredibly scarce, but as of yet, several prominent casting decisions have been announced, including Stranger Things' Sadie Sink and The Bear's Liza Colon-Zayas. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who had previously starred in the first three Spider-Man films opposite Holland, are also set to reprise their roles in Brand New Day.
In addition to his upcoming appearance in Holland's latest Spider-Man film, Bernthal is also set to star in a Punisher TV special for Disney+, scheduled for release sometime in 2026. Bernthal will co-write the project's script alongside director Reinaldo Marcus Green, marking the duo's second collaboration after 2022's We Own This City.

Arnold Schwarzenegger On How A Vision Guides Power Of Positive Thinking
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 11: Arnold Schwarzenegger attends Netflix's "FUBAR" Season 2 Los ... More Angeles Premiere at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 11, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by) Arnold Schwarzenegger is back — remember, he always delivers on that promise — in Netflix's FUBAR Season 2, the latest of several grand visions the pop culture icon has accomplished since he arrived in the U.S. as an Austrian immigrant in 1968. Netflix previously chronicled Schwarzenegger's rise from poverty in his home country to his mega-successful professional and personal accomplishments in the U.S. in the 2023 documentary Arnold. The documentary is presented in three parts: Athlete, Actor and American. The Athlete part, of course, is Schwarzenegger's trek to the top of the bodybuilding world as seven-time Mr. Olympia champion and four-time Mr. Universe champion. Conquering the bodybuilding world led to Schwarzenegger's triumphs in showbiz, where in Actor the documentary chronicles his work in such films as the Terminator series, Predator, The Running Man, True Lies, Twins, Kindergarten Cop and dozens of others. The third part, American, delves into how Schwarzenegger dedicated his time to civic duties, culminating with his service as governor of California from 2003 to 2011. As if Arnold was already motivating enough for viewers, Schwarzenegger — who joined the Forbes Billionaires list in 2024 — released his second book, Be Useful: Seven Tools for Life (Penguin Books), where he shares the keys to his success. Chief among those keys, if not the first key, is Schwarzenegger's mantra of having a clear vision. In a recent Zoom conversation about his work on FUBAR Season 2, Schwarzenegger shared how vital the power of positive thinking is, but you must always be guided by a vision. 'You have to first begin with the vision because if you have a vision and you go chase the vision, it is very hard to be negative. It is easier to be positive because every step that you do, you are making this vision become a reality and I think that's fun,' Schwarzenegger said. 'You have a great time with that.' HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA - APRIL 04: Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks during the 10X Growth Conference 2024 at ... More The Diplomat Beach Resort on April 04, 2024 in Hollywood, Florida. (Photo by) Establishing A Vision Will Help One Build Their Positive Thinking, Arnold Schwarzenegger Says Lacking a vision can be rough on a person's psyche, Arnold Schwarzenegger said, so creating a vision of what you want to be will go a long way to building the vital element of positivity. 'When people are lost and people don't have a vision, then they get depressed — then they don't know where to go and they wander around,' Schwarzenegger said. 'Those people cannot go and say, 'Let me start thinking positive' because it doesn't exist. You can't just go and say, 'I want to be positive now.' It doesn't work that way. 'You first have to have a reason to have a positive thought,' added Schwarzenegger, the proud father of The White Lotus Season 3 star Patrick Schwarzenegger. "And for me, that's the reason behind every step that I make. It is always to accomplish a goal and turn a vision into a reality." Best of all, Arnold Schwarzenegger, 77, is having the time of his life in pursuing new goals 24/7. 'That's what makes it fun," Schwarzenegger enthused. "That's what makes it challenging and that's why I always look forward to the next hour to the next day.' Created by Nick Santora, FUBAR Season 2, which stars Arnold Schwazenegger, Carrie-Anne Moss, Monica Barbaro, Fortune Feimster, Milan Carter and Travis Van Winkle, is new on Netflix.

I wanted to let you in on something that's private that I haven't talked about publicly yet," McCain revealed. "I have two little girls. They are almost 5 and almost 3. And I just am entering my second trimester, I'm pregnant with my third." "I know this is a weird way to announce it, but I'm very nervous. It's a boy," she added.
