Who Will Tom Holland Fight in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? All We Know About New Villains
After much speculation from the fans, the MCU announced that the upcoming movie will be called Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
According to the media reports, it is revealed that Holland's superhero character will fight new villains in the 2026 cinematic piece, which might also include Shang-Chi's Silver Samurai and Viper, whose mention is present in the Marvel Comic.
While there has been no confirmation yet, rumors have it that Tom Holland will also be joined by Simu Liu, who portrays Shang-Chi in the MCU.
Will Spider-Man: Brand New Day include Venom?
Apart from Silver Samurai and Viper, whose versions were previously seen in 2013's The Wolverine, the movie could also feature Venom and Knull.
According to Comic Circus' Alex Perez, who stated at the time of Venom: The Last Dance that the character is more likely to make an appearance alongside the wall-crawling Spidey.
Moreover, the fans are also expected to see Peter Parker and Bruce Banner teaming up. As for Hulk's presence in a Spider-Man film, the inside scooper, Perez, shared, "What I heard involves a connection [between Peter Parker and Bruce] dating back to the earliest days of the MCU and exploring some uncharted territory for both characters' personal histories."
With Hulk's storyline in Spider-Man, it could allegedly open Bruce Banner's way into Avengers: Doomsday.
Meanwhile, as per the reports, Spider-Man will not join the rest of the Avengers in Doomsday. The reason stated by the makers is that the timelines of the events are too close to each other.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release in theaters on July 31, 2026, while Avengers: Doomsday will open on December 17, 2026.

'War 2': Did Jr NTR's fan light up a FLAMETHROWER inside theatre? Video of fan-frenzy goes viral- WATCH
The release of 'War 2' sparked massive celebrations and fanfare among fans of actor Jr NTR, who plays a leading role in the Bollywood film. But while most of the celebrations involved fans throwing confetti showers in the theatres, coupled with cheering, dancing and cheering, one viral incident has raised serious safety concerns. The incident in question features a man lighting up a 'flame thrower' inside the theatre. The frenzy began with Jr NTR's much-hyped entry scene where the superstar 'flies' onto the screen via a drone, landing shirtless on a ship and flaunting his chiselled eight-pack abs. As the crowd erupts, he is introduced on-screen as the 'Man of the Masses.' While others in the audience threw confetti, applauded and whistled, one group of fans rushed to the front of the theatre and raised eyebrows with their unruly behaviour. Viral Video In the footage, a group of enthusiastic fans is seen dancing near the screen with posters, when one man appears to ignite what looks like a flamethrower. It remains unclear whether he used a lighter and deodorant spray to create the flame effect or if he actually brought a flamethrower to the theatre, but the stunt has raised alarm over the potential risk to fellow moviegoers. Safety Concerns Social media reactions have been mixed. While some brushed it off as part of the celebration, many netizens slammed the behaviour, pointing out the fire dangers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo 'This could have gone horribly wrong,' one user commented. Similar Past Reactions This is not the first time that Bollywood films have seen such celebrations turn hazardous. In 2023, Salman Khan fans made headlines for lighting fireworks inside a theatre during 'Tiger 3' screening at Mohan Cinema in Malegaon, Maharashtra. The incident, which included rockets and string bombs ignited in the front rows, caused panic among audiences and led to calls for stricter safety enforcement in cinemas. The viral video even prompted Salman to put out a tweet warning fans about the dangers of such actions. Box Office Performance 'War 2' recorded a massive Rs 52.50 crore debut at the box office, and according to early estiamtes on Day 2, the film has added another Rs 8.33 crore to its kitty. This takes the Hrithik Roshan , Jr NTR and Kiara Advani starrer's total earnings to Rs 60.83 crore in just two days. The film, which is part of YRF's lucrative Spy Universe, has been drawing audiences with its high-octane action sequences and the first-time pairing of Hrithik and Jr NTR. While the Hindi version's opening fell short of expectations, the Telugu dubbed version has emerged as a key contributor, powered by Jr NTR's massive fan following in the South. With the Independence Day holiday driving higher footfalls across the country, trade analysts predict a strong upward trajectory for the weekend, with the potential to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. However, competition from Rajinikanth 's 'Coolie' in southern markets remains a factor to watch in the days ahead.

Thunderbolts* on OTT: When and where to watch Florence Pugh-led superhero flick in India
As Thunderbolts* prepares for its OTT debut on JioHotstar (OTTplay Premium) on August 27, Marvel fans in India won't have to wait much longer to witness the anti-heroes take the main stage. Fans who have been waiting to see the exploits of the newest team without leaving their homes will be pleased to know that the film, which debuted earlier this year, will be available for streaming in less than two weeks. Thunderbolts* poster Star-studded anti-hero Leading the pack are Florence Pugh's Yelena Belova, Bucky Barnes (Sebastian Stan), Sentry (Lewis Pullman), U.S. Agent (Wyatt Russell), Red Guardian (David Harbour), and Contessa (Julia Louis-Dreyfus). Thunderbolts* examines the shadowy side of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in its command of Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Valentina enlists a motley crew of "reformed" super soldiers, former enemies, and characters with questionable moral fibres for a mission. The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and other Marvel films' characters come together in the film's plot. After Valentina gathers the team to deal with what is presented as a global emergency, the plot twists when it becomes clear that they are just pieces in Valentina's bigger game. Despite facing insurmountable odds from a threat unlike any they have faced before, the six hesitant colleagues attempt to understand the motivation behind her falsehoods after realising they were set up. Critical reception and box office performance The global box office take for Thunderbolts* was $382 million. Despite failing to generate enough revenue, the film was well-received by critics and had a dedicated fan base. With an 88% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film is doing much better than the reaction that recent Marvel Cinematic Universe bombs The Marvels and Captain America: Brave New World received. Critics and viewers alike lauded the show for its snappy writing, group chemistry, and realistic action. Unlike previous Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) promotional efforts, the studio's marketing for Thunderbolts* focused on the impressive resumes of the creative team behind the film. The marketing heavily featured the writers and makers who had worked on critically praised films such as Hereditary, Beef, and Everything Everywhere All at Once. High expectations from OTT release Following its theatrical debut, Thunderbolts* has a tenuous connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe's forthcoming plot, leaving threads that carry over into the June global premiere of the Disney+ series Ironheart and the recently released big-screen outing, The Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Thunderbolts* is set for a huge release on JioHotstar when it launches in India on August 27, thanks to its buzzworthy ensemble, favourable reviews, and significant enthusiasm from Marvel's worldwide fans.
