Avengers: Doomsday And Secret Wars Just Got Major Release Shakeups, And Now I'm Wondering What This Means For Spider-Man: Brand New Day
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. With the exception of Avengers: Endgame, all of the Avengers movies have been May releases. Honestly, Endgame might as well count in that category since it came out on April 26, 2019. But now that late April/May streak is being broken. It's been officially announced that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars have both been delayed, and the release shakeups for these upcoming Marvel movies has me wondering what this might mean for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Let's get the big news out of the way first. Doomsday and Secret Wars, which were previously set for May 1, 2026 and May 7, 2027, respectively, are now pushed back to December 18, 2026 and December 17, 2027. Per sources that spoke with Deadline, these release date changes 'simply allow more time to execute on a gargantuan vision.' Marvel Studios also reportedly chose December because of how much luck its had with the 'holiday corridor,' most notably Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. Weirdly enough, this makes me a little more excited to see both these movies. I've enjoyed seeing Avengers movies kick off the summer blockbuster season stretching back to 2012, but there's something enticing about Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars helping bring their respective cinematic years to a close. I certainly enjoyed seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home right before Christmas, and we can count on Doomsday and Secret Wars to be even bigger events, as they're bringing The Multiverse Saga to a close. Last week, I wrote about the rumor that Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker, i.e. Peter Parker's daughter from an alternate universe, in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. At the time, I said that having Tom Holland's Peter team up with her would make sense in a post-Avengers: Doomsday landscape, as presumably the events of that movie will make travel across the multiverse easier. Now I'm not so sure this is happening. If Marvel and Sony keep Spider-Man: Brand New Day in its current release date, and the former has no problem with shifting Avengers: Doomsday to December, then that would indicate that Brand New Day's story is in no way affected by Doomsday. That, or the movie will need a massive rewrite as a result of this release date change, but if that were the case, then I'd hope Brand New Day was also delayed. The point being, maybe the next of Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies isn't a multiversal affair after all. Ever since the Spider-Man: No Way Home ending set Holland's Peter Parker up to continue his superhero activities with a new, custom-made Spidey suit and a 'back to basics' approach, many fans have been wanting to see him lead a more street-level movie. That would certainly work well with the latest rumor claiming that Scorpion, Tombstone and Boomerang will be the villains in Brand New Day. That doesn't necessarily mean you couldn't still keep things relatively street-level by throwing Mayday Parker into the mix, but if I have to choose between another multiverse-tinged team-up and something more grounded, at least by Spider-Man standards, I'm picking the latter. For now, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which begins filming soon, is still slotted for release on July 31, 2026. Although you'll need to be signed up with Starz to stream Spider-Man: No Way Home, all of Tom Holland's prior MCU appearances can be streamed with the rest of the MCU catalog with a Disney+ subscription.

Mark Ruffalo and Michael Mando Allegedly Joining Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Tom Holland's Spider-Man movies have always had an Avenger-level guest star with the films running through Tony Stark, Nick Fury, and lately Doctor Strange. Now with Brand New Day incoming, it's no surprise that another Avenger has signed on for a 'substantial role'. Apparently Nexus Point News is saying that Mark Ruffalo is set to make an appearance as the Hulk/Bruce Banner in Spider-Man: Brand New Day . It's said that his role will be 'much larger than a cameo', so it's possible that he could be Spider-Man's in back to the good graces of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. We don't know exactly which bonds Peter had decided to salvage after the events of No Way Home , but we know that he's going to be staying away from his remaining loved ones in order to keep them safe. At best, he probably reintroduced himself to Doctor Strange, but everyone else does remember who Spider-Man is; it's Peter Parker nobody knows anymore. As for Hulk, his last major appearance was in the series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law where it's revealed that he has a son. Marvel never pulled on that thread for years , but maybe we'll finally get to see where that goes before the events of Avengers: Doomsday. Besides Ruffalo, it's also said that Michael Mando is also in talks to make a return as Scorpion/Mac Gargan. His last appearance had him getting seriously injured by Peter, and it wouldn't be surprising if he comes back in a bit role as a thug with some upgraded tech, ready to clash with Spider-Man. Then again, this is just speculation for now. The way Marvel works, we don't know how much they're willing to suddenly change behind-the-scenes. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to come out in theaters on July 31, 2026.

New Spider-Man: Brand New Day Rumor Makes Wild Claim About Sadie Sink's Role, But It Would Also Make A Lot Of Sense For Post-Avengers: Doomsday
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When Tom Holland's Peter Parker swings back into our lives next year in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he'll have a Strangers Things star in tow. Sadie Sink was cast in the upcoming Spider-Man movie in March, and almost right out the gate, it was theorized that she might be playing Mary Jane Watson or Jean Grey. However, now there's a new Brand New Day rumor out there making a wild claim about Sink's role, and honestly, I could buy this happening in a post-Avengers: Doomsday landscape. If a source who spoke to The Hot Mic co-host John Rocha is to be believed, Sink is playing May 'Mayday' Parker, who is Peter Parker's teenage daughter from another universe in the comics and goes by Spider-Girl. But it gets even wilder, as this source claims this version of Mayday will be the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, who teamed up with Tom Holland and Andrew Garfield's versions in Spider-Man: No Way Home. If this information is accurate, then this would be Mayday's second theatrical appearance, as she was presented as the infant daughter of Jake Johnson's Peter B. Parker in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. While this rumor should be taken with a grain of salt for now, Sadie Sink playing Mayday Parker wouldn't be the most farfetched thing to happen. Even ignoring how Tom Holland's Peter has already dabbled with multiverses craziness, just look at the upcoming Marvel movie's title: Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Day… Mayday… wink, wink, nudge, nudge. More Spider-Man Stories Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Director Told The Cutest Story About How He's 'Brainwashing' His Young Son Into Becoming A Marvel Fan Ahead Of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Franchise's Flash Thompson Actor Shares One Hope For The Character (And I Have Mixed Feelings) More importantly though, let's remember that Brand New Day is coming out two months after Avengers: Doomsday's May 2026 release. While Marvel Studios opted to have Ant-Man and the Wasp and Captain Marvel take place before the events of Avengers: Infinity War (minus their end credits scenes), there's a good chance that the next Spider-Man movie could build off what goes down in Doomsday. If that's the case, then having Mayday Parker meeting a younger variant of her father would be rather fitting, as it might become easier for travel between realities after the fifth Avengers movie. Now none of this is to say we'd also see Tobey Maguire back as his Peter or Kirsten Dunst back as Mary Jane Watson for the first time since Spider-Man 3, although I certainly hope this would happen, too. What's more important to me is that we see Sadie Sink's Mayday as Spider-Girl rather than just a powerless civilian. Let's see how she does helping our main protagonist fight whoever the villain is (Jeff Sneider, The Hot Mic's other host, claims it's going to be Mister Negative), and maybe we could then see her return in Avengers: Secret Wars. Spider-Man: Brand New Day spins its web in theaters on July 26, 2026. The Bear's Liza Colón-Zayas recently joined in an undisclosed role, and Destin Daniel Cretton is directing the feature. We'll keep our eyes and ears out for any details that verify or debunk that we'll be seeing Sadie Sink as Mayday Parker.

Ahead Of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Franchise's Flash Thompson Actor Shares One Hope For The Character (And I Have Mixed Feelings)
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Sony's standalone live-action Spider-Verse officially seems dead following a series of duds. All the while, the actual live-action Spider-Man that exists in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has seen success that's unmatched for a character that's been adapted for film so many times. With the upcoming Brand New Day, Tom Holland will do something nobody has done before: star in a fourth Spidey movie. Ahead of that, co-star Tony Revelori revealed something he'd love to seen, and I'm torn. What will actually happen in the upcoming Spidey flick is anyone's guest but, now that Sony's Venom franchise has come to an end, seeing an official MCU Venom isn't outside the realm of possibility. If it were to happen, Tony Revolori, who plays Flash Thompson in the continuity, admits he would love to follow in the comic character's footsteps and become Agent Venom. He told The Direct… Yeah, you know, look, I've read the comics that everyone's read. I would be really, really f-ing excited to do something like that. That would be really cool. I have no idea what or if or when or maybe, and we'll see. Look, the hope is to do it, the dream is to do it. And we'll see if it ever happens. And if it doesn't, they're making great shit regardless that I will watch over and over and over again, and I'm just happy to have been a part of it. While the version of Venom that we saw in Sony's trilogy with Tom Hardy is the somewhat traditional version of the character, the Venom symbiote of the comics has gone a lot of places and bonded with a lot of people over the decades. One of those was Flash Thompson, who bonded with Venom as part of a U.S. government program when Thompson was in the military. The character became known as Agent Venom. On the one hand, this is a kind of brilliant idea. If and when Venom ever officially joins the MCU, doing it in a significantly different way makes a lot of sense. After all, fans just saw a trilogy of Venom/Eddie Brock movies, which are officially part of Marvel's multiverse, so doing it again likely isn't going to excite a lot of people. On top of that, connecting Venom to an existing MCU character that audiences know certainly makes more sense than introducing all of it with new characters. Fans know the character already, and they know Flash, so why not? Tony Revolori's version of Flash is also significantly different from the traditional comic iteration, which means an original, and therefore more interesting, version of Agent Venom as a result. At the same time, it's not even clear at this point whether Tony Revolori, or other recurring Spidey movie actors are even going to appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, nobody knows Peter Parker. This gives the movie a really intriguing opportunity to take the franchise in new directions, and if everybody from the other movies just comes back anyway, it won't feel like much of anything is 'brand new.' Like a lot of people, I would love to see Tom Holland's Spider-Man go up against Venom at some point, whatever form that may take. If it ends up being Flash Thompson's Venom, it's not the worst idea. I'm just not sure it's the right one.

New Spider-Man: Brand New Day Rumor Claims Three Villains Have Been Lined Up, And I'm Really Hoping One Of Them Ends Up Being Legit
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Now that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to begin filming soon and has a spot on the upcoming Marvel movies calendar, we've been getting more frequent updates on Tom Holland's fourth solo feature as Peter Parker. The latest rumor is alleging that three specific villains have been selected for Brand New Day. While I'd certainly welcome seeing this specific trio cause trouble, there's one in particular I hope ends up being legit, as it's someone we've already spent some time with in the MCU. This rumor originated from a now-deleted Instagram post from user Chris Higashi (via ComicBookMovie), who claimed that Scorpion, Boomerang and Tombstone were revealed as the Spider-Man: Brand New Day villains at the Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products presentation in Las Vegas. Now scooper MyTimeToShineHello (again, via ComicBookMovie) is saying that Michael Mando is on deck to reprise Mac Gargan, who will become Scorpion. Mando, best known for playing Nacho Varga in Better Call Saul, first appeared as Gargan in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Needless to say all of this should be taken as a grain of salt for now, but I sincerely hope that Michael Mando is returning for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. His version of Gargan was introduced as a criminal who wanted to buy from Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes, but Tom Holland's Spidey interrupted the sale. Gargan was left with some bad facial injuries and sent to prison, and while there, he met up with Toomes and asked if there was any truth to the rumor that he knew Spider-Man's secret identity. Related Stories Ahead Of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, The Franchise's Flash Thompson Actor Shares One Hope For The Character (And I Have Mixed Feelings) Next Summer Is Going To Be All About Tom Holland, And I Need Everyone To Start Coming Up With A Fun Spider-Man Version Of Barbenheimer Now Toomes lied and said he wasn't aware who was underneath the mask, and the Spider-Man: Homecoming end credits tease of Gargan and his 'friends' wanting to exact revenge on the Web-Slinger was never followed up on. Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home moved away from street crime in favor of spotlighting villains like Mysterio and the baddies from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man movies. We did, however, get to see an alternate version of the MCU's Gargan become Scorpion in the animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which can be streamed with a Disney+ subscription. Considering that Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin is apparently off limits for a Spider-Man movie, Tombstone works nicely as a different crime boss villain to use, and I can easily see Boomerang being one of his subordinates. However, Scorpion is one of those classic members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery who still hasn't been fully adapted on the big screen. I would absolutely be game to see Michael Mando in that green armor and whipping around that cybernetic tail trying to kill the Webbed Wonder. Since casting information has started trickling in for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, perhaps we'll learn in the coming weeks if Mando has indeed signed on. For now, Tom Holland's co-stars on the movie, which opens on July 31, 2026, include Sadie Sink (who may be playing Peter Parker's daughter from another universe) and Liza Colón-Zayas.
