Which villains will be seen in Spider-Man-4? Here's all that we know about Peter Parker's next challenge
The rumour mill is working overtime yet again, and this time it's churning out stories regarding the villains we can expect to see in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day. Out of all the places in the world, The Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products Presentation provided the fans with some insight into all the possible characters that could be standing in the way of Peter Parker and justice in the fourth film of the franchise.
A user on Instagram who attended the presentation posted details about the event and the hints that they dropped during it. While the post is now deleted, it wasn't long before major publications picked it up and started breaking down all the information they had been provided with. The villains that have been named as a possibility for Spider-Man 4 include the Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tombstone. Scorpion and Tombstone have already been seen in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, playing the role of Kingpin's henchmen.

While this information is still standing on a shaky foundation, there is news about who Stranger Things actor Sadie Sink is going to play in the movie, and it originates from a much more credible source. While appearing on the podcast The Hot Mic, industry insider John Rocha talked about his discussion with someone from the Marvel camp, and he revealed that Sadie is likely to play the character of Mayday Parker or Spider-Girl. Mayday is the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson who belongs to the 'Marvel Comics 2' universe. Technically the redheaded troublemaker has already graced the screens, as she was seen as an infant in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and was introduced as the daughter of Peter and Mary from Earth 616, which is considered the original timeline.
If we look at the current information available to us about the three Spider-Men that appeared in the last film, it is most likely that Sadie will be playing the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane, who technically also belong to Earth 616. Even in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey's Peter talks about his relationship with Dunst's Mary and says to Garfield's Peter, 'I wouldn't give up. It took a while, but we made it work, I and MJ.
As rumours about character appearances fill up to the brim, fans are waiting for any kind of confirmation from the studios, while Marvel and Disney, in classic fashion, are playing this close to the chest. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release in theatres on July 31, 2026.

"Queens supporting queens": Fans go wild as Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spotted having intense heart-to-heart during cozy dinner night out in NYC
Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's late-night NYC dinner fuels fans' curiosity (Getty Images) On a breezy Saturday evening in New York City, longtime friends and music icons Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez were seen enjoying a cozy dinner at the Monkey Bar. The duo, known for their unshakable bond, sparked a wave of online excitement when a candid snapshot of their reunion surfaced via gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi. With no sign of their significant others — Travis Kelce in Kansas City for the Big Slick charity show and Benny Blanco apparently away — it was a rare and intimate moment shared between two of the most influential women in pop culture. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez spark buzz with deep dinner chat during surprise reunion in Manhattan In the photo that's now making the rounds on social media, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are captured in what seems to be an intense and heartfelt exchange. Swift, dressed in a sleek black tank top trimmed with silver sequins, looks visibly surprised — a reaction that fans are already speculating about. Opposite her, Gomez sits in a booth wearing a dark scoop-neck shirt layered with a jacket featuring wide lapels. Her hair is pulled back into a polished bun, and her gold hoop earrings add a soft touch of elegance. Though simple in setting, the image has stirred major buzz, and for good reason. This meet-up wasn't just a social catch-up — it came on the heels of a massive personal victory for Swift. Just days earlier, she revealed that she had officially acquired the rights to her master recordings, marking the end of a years-long struggle with Big Machine Records, Scooter Braun, and later, Shamrock Capital. The battle had defined much of her recent career narrative, but now, it's finally resolved. In an emotional message to her fans, Swift wrote, 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow. As a flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news. I almost stopped thinking it could happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled and then yanked away. But that's all in the past now.' The moment didn't go unnoticed by Gomez. Sharing Swift's post on her Instagram Story, she offered a proud nod of support, writing, 'Yes you did that Tay! So proud.' It's the kind of sincere and public show of friendship that fans have come to expect from this power duo. Having met back in 2008 when both were dating the Jonas Brothers — Swift with Joe, Gomez with Nick — their friendship has since matured into something far deeper than mere celebrity camaraderie. Through breakups, professional pivots, health battles, and monumental career shifts, Swift and Gomez have consistently been each other's pillars of support. Today, with Swift navigating her high-profile romance with NFL star Travis Kelce and Gomez engaged to producer Benny Blanco, the two remain just as tight-knit. Though Swift has kept a relatively low profile in 2025 following her blockbuster Eras Tour, recent sightings — including this dinner with Gomez — suggest she may be ready to step back into the spotlight. There are even whispers of new music on the horizon. Whatever comes next, one thing remains clear: this friendship, forged in their teenage years and tested over time, continues to shine brighter with every passing year.

Geopolitics scores but other influencer contents take a hit amid Bangla turmoil
1 2 3 4 Kolkata: From a noticeable dip in viewership from Bangladesh to a marked increase in hate comments, Bengal's content creators have encountered significant changes amidst the ongoing volatility in Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangladesh relations. During the Aug uprising, content creators observed a drop in viewership from Bangladesh. While some managed to regain their audience, many continue to report persistent declines. In a bid to attract more engagement, several creators recently pivoted to producing more content focused on geopolitics. The escalating cross-border tensions have led to a surge in hate comments. Interestingly, this phenomenon has resulted in heightened viewership, greater audience engagement, and increased revenues for the creators. For many YouTubers, political tensions often lead to restrictions on the flow of media and content, directly affecting the reach and accessibility of creators and their material. Digital creator Zeeshan Ali, who runs a channel with 71K subscribers on Instagram, was badly hit. "I have a good following in Bangladesh, and they would visit the food joints I recommended once they visited Kolkata. After the uprising, the reach went. According to the trend, I should have 90K subscribers by now. Unfortunately, people from Bangladesh started unfollowing me. They are not keen on watching entertainment at all and are busy surfing content related to politics and conflict," he said. Actor and content creator Aparajita Ghosh, who presents podcasts on YouTube, expressed certainty that the viewership of her content would be double if the Indo-Bangladesh relationship had not become strained. "Any content I shared earlier would receive so much love from Bangladesh. People would generously comment. After the uprising, I hosted a podcast called Off Screen With Aparajita Ghosh. I am surprised that there is not a single comment from Bangladesh. I am sure the viewership would have been double, had this podcast been shared at least a year back," Ghosh stated. Aritra Banerjee, who has 176K subscribers on YouTube, faced the heat when the watch hours of his videos dipped during the Aug uprising in Bangladesh. "Bangladesh is a big market in terms of our viewership. The internet services were down during the Aug uprising. While my subscriber base remained the same, the watch hours dipped by 25% then. Once the internet connections resumed, the viewership was back," Banerjee said. "My show is about ghosts, and their viewership in Bangladesh remains steady at 11% regardless of any political developments. Ghosts are a different ballgame altogether, but I noticed several content creators who never engaged in geopolitics previously now produced three videos instead of one per day to take advantage of the increased viewer interest.," said Gourab Tapadar, whose 'Pretkotha' channel has 883K subscribers. Recent times have seen a surge in the number of hate comments for Indian content, with hyperactive trolls having a field day. Sharmila Maiti, who currently has 1.1 million subscribers on YouTube, experienced a 60% increase in hate comments on her channel. "People often watch content which they absolutely hate. They watch it to ridicule or troll. Last week, I posted a vlog with an interview of a meritorious student. Among the 600 comments I got, 550 were from Bangladesh. Most of them were very critical," Maiti stated. Such hate comments are not overtly detrimental for a channel as they help generate the engagement necessary for revenue.
