Who Will Tom Holland Fight in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? All We Know About New Villains
Tom Holland will yet again don his Spider-Man suit for the fourth film of the Spider-Man franchise. Earlier, the title of the film was announced by Marvel.
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.

Elio movie review: All smiles, and then some
Elio movie review: Pixar's latest is the staple story of an orphaned child, only this time it doesn't just have him rediscovering his family right at home but also finding one across the universe. It isn't exactly a voyage into the unknown, but it's not a wasted ride either. The titular Elio (Kibreab) is grieving the loss of his parents and proving a handful for his aunt Olga (Saldana) when he catches a presentation on the Voyager, the spaceship that has gone further than any and is still on its journey more than 45 years after its launch. Elio particularly latches on to its message that 'We may not be alone' and goes on to try everything he can to get the aliens to 'abduct' him, including scrawling the message on sand. Given that Olga is an aspiring astronaut working on a space base, the inevitable is close at hand, and somehow Elio gets beamed up. ALSO READ: Sitaare Zameen Par movie review: Aamir Khan delivers fully committed performance in heart-winning comedy The place where he lands is a kaleidoscope of luminescent colour, with creatures floating on their own or on what look like petals, having created a world called 'Communiverse', inhabited by 'the most brilliant minds of the universe'. They presume Elio is one such and is 'the leader of Planet Earth'. Elio, not really inclined to dispel the notion, soon finds himself swept into the conflict between this peaceful world and Lord Grigon (Garrett), who calls himself the Blood Emperor and is a metal-and-menace Marvel-lite creation. Too many complications happen next, including cloning, and the themes the animation explores may be lost on children. Elio does strike a friendship with Grigon's son Glordon (a wonderful Edgerly), but this too loses its way in the chaos unfolding between the many worlds. Glordon's apprehension that he is a disappointment to his ferocious father is ultimately the film's sweetest. He seizes with glee Elio's ploy to make him a 'bargaining chip' against his father. 'All I have ever been called till now is a liability, a burden,' Glordon says cheerfully. Carl Sagan's words ring out more than once in Elio. The search for alien life, he said, touches 'the deepest of human concerns' – 'Are we alone?' Often, we don't have to look so far. Elio movie cast: Voices of Yonas Kibreab, Zoe Saldana, Remy Edgerly, Brad Garrett, Shirley Henderson Elio movie directors: Adrian Molina, Madeline Sharafian, Domee Shi Elio movie rating: 3 stars

This spider disappears on trees —Meet Australia's shape-shifting spider and it's not your usual creepy crawler
Image: If you thought Australia had already maxed out on bizarre wildlife, think again. The internet is currently obsessed with a spider that looks like it crawled straight out of a Marvel origin story. It's called the wrap-around spider (scientific name: Dolophones conifera), and it's blowing minds—not because it's venomous or huge, but because it literally changes shape to vanish before your eyes. Yes, this spider flattens its body and wraps itself around tree branches like it's trying to become one with nature. And it kind of does. The ultimate hide-and-seek champion Unlike most spiders that spin a web and sit in the middle like they own the place, the wrap-around spider takes a different route. During the day, it tucks its legs in and presses itself flat against tree limbs, blending in so perfectly that it basically disappears. If you walked past it, your eyes would slide right over it—as if it was just a little knot in the bark or a leaf shadow. At night, however, this sneaky little shape-shifter comes alive. It emerges from its bark-hugging pose and weaves intricate webs to catch prey, like a tiny ninja. Then, as the sun rises, it returns to its bark-bed and vanishes again. It's a spider with a literal day job in stealth. Not your average eight-legged friend The wrap-around spider belongs to the orb-weaver family—but it's clearly the weirdo cousin. Its body is uniquely adapted for camouflage, with a flat, disc-like abdomen and textured skin that mimics the grooves and ridges of tree bark. This allows it to hug branches so tightly that predators like birds, lizards, and even curious humans overlook it entirely. Image: Why does it even do this? Like most strange animal behaviors, it all comes down to survival. The wrap-around spider's flattening technique is a superpowered form of camouflage, known as mimesis. While camouflage usually means blending into a background, mimesis is when an animal actively mimics a specific object—like a twig, a leaf, or in this case, tree bark. This defense strategy helps the spider avoid predators during the daytime when it's most vulnerable. Unlike venomous spiders that rely on being intimidating, the wrap-around spider goes full ninja mode. Its motto? 'You can't eat what you can't see.' The wrap-around spider is native to Australia, mostly found in Queensland and parts of New South Wales. But good luck spotting one in the wild—they're nocturnal, shy, and frankly too good at their job. Nature nerds and bug lovers now have this spider on their must-see lists, but finding one is like trying to find Waldo in a forest of Waldos. So the next time you're walking through the Australian bush and see what looks like an oddly shaped bump on a branch—take a second look. You might just be looking at one of nature's greatest shape-shifters.
