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.

Hidden realities: 7 Behind the scenes secrets that could have changed the MCU forever
Ant Man The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has become a cultural phenomenon, weaving intricate storylines and introducing iconic characters that have captivated audiences worldwide. However behind the scenes, numerous creative decisions and near-misses could have dramatically altered the trajectory of this cinematic juggernaut. Here are seven lesser-known behind-the-scenes facts that shed light on the MCU's evolution. Iron man's almost cameo in Sam Raimi's Spiderman 2 In the early 2000s, Marvel contemplated integrating Tony Stark into Sam Raimi's Spider-Man universe. Plans were in motion for Stark to assist Dr. Otto Octavius in developing his mechanical arms in 'Spider-Man 2.' However, this crossover was ultimately shelved possibly due to the lukewarm reception of Spider-Man 3. This decision delayed Iron Man's cinematic debut until 2008, when Robert Downey Jr. donned the suit in a film that would launch the MCU. Gal Gadot's near role as Nebula Before Karen Gillan's portrayal of Nebula in 'Guardians of the Galaxy,' the role was offered to Gal Gadot. Scheduling conflicts and budgetary constraints led Gadot to decline, paving the way for her iconic role as Wonder Woman in the 'DC Extended Universe.' Interestingly, Jason Momoa was also considered for the role of Drax, suggesting a potential MCU lineup reminiscent of the Justice League. Wasp's intended introduction in 'The Avengers' Joss Whedon initially planned to introduce Janet van Dyne, the original Wasp, in 2012's 'The Avengers.' Concerns over Scarlett Johansson's availability as Black Widow prompted Whedon to consider Wasp as a replacement. Ultimately, Johansson reprised her role and Wasp's introduction was postponed until Ant-Man and the Wasp in 2018. A week that shaped the MCU A fascinating detail from the MCU timeline reveals that the events of 'Iron Man 2,' 'The Incredible Hulk' and 'Thor' all transpire within the same week. This convergence of storylines underscores the interconnectedness of the MCU and sets the stage for the formation of the Avengers. Benedict Cumberbatch's dual role in 'Doctor Strange' In 'Doctor Strange,' Benedict Cumberbatch not only portrayed the titular character but also lent his voice and motion capture performance to the film's antagonist, Dormammu. This dual role showcases Cumberbatch's versatility and adds a unique layer to the film's production. Tom Hiddleston's brief turn as Captain America During the filming of 'Thor: The Dark World,' Tom Hiddleston donned Captain America's costume for a scene where Loki impersonates the superhero. While Chris Evans ultimately portrayed the scene in the final cut, Hiddleston's version remains a testament to the playful dynamics on set. Captain America's early cameo in 'The Incredible Hulk' A deleted scene from 'The Incredible Hulk' features a glimpse of Captain America's frozen body, predating his official introduction in 'Captain America: The First Avenger.' This early nod to the character highlights Marvel's long-term vision for its interconnected universe. These behind the scenes revelations offer a glimpse into the complex decision-making processes that have shaped the MCU. Each choice from casting decisions to storyline adjustments has contributed to the rich tapestry that continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

How to gift skins in Marvel Rivals
Image via: NetEase Games In a world where superheroes fight and bonds are forged in the heat of fast-paced team battles, Marvel Rivals has introduced a lovely new feature that promotes kindness among its players: gifting skins. Whether you're sending an unexpectedly generous gift to a close friend or celebrating a teammate's birthday with one, gifting in Marvel Rivals creates connections and goodwill among players on the battlefield. Here's everything else you need to know about how the system works, what you can send, what you can't send, and why it matters more than a mere cosmetic transaction. What is so special about the skins? Cosmetics in games often go a long way in portraying a player's individuality, attachment to a character, or even a time of significant achievement. Gifting a skin in Marvel Rivals is a gesture of goodwill to someone who shares in victory, helping them give their hero a new look—more an expression of appreciation for shared victories than really a simple gift. Helping a friend dress in their favorite hero outfit, from a wide cast like Spider-Man, Iron Man, or Black Panther, is a great gesture made doubly so with the thought behind it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia alta? Pingue isso na água antes de dormir Saúde Melhor Idade Veja agora Undo Surely, this one thing that makes gifting meaningful is its ease. How To Gift Skin Bundles To Friends In Marvel Rivals Steps to gift When one jumps in, one should know what is giftable. Marvel Rivals permits gifting of any skin purchasable in the Item Shop. Included in gifting are skins for a single hero, bundles, and themed collections. But there's an important restriction: items from the Battle Pass cannot be gifted. Because Battle Pass contents are tied to individual progress and usually locked behind in-game achievements, these exclusive rewards are also non-transferable. Your friend will have to grind to earn that special Battle Pass Doctor Strange skin! The basics of Skin Gifting The Gifting process in Marvel Rivals is quite straightforward and refreshing in its own sense. Once you enter the game, you go into the Store tab, and there you find items you can gift. For each item, a small gift icon accompanies the price tag. It is your gateway towards giving. Once clicked, the gift icon will redirect you to a pop-up window showcasing your current friends list. Select the intended recipient; type out a brief message if you like, then get on with the checkout screen. Provided that you have sufficient in-game currency (normally credits), your gift will be fulfilled instantly. When the present is sent off, the sender has his or her in-game mailbox being notified-the same mailbox, which is accessible from the top right corner of the main menu. A notification appears within the mailbox of the recipient, where he or she can now accept the virtual gift and equip it. This mailbox system ensures that no gift goes astray into cyberspace, but it also creates that delightful ritual. Opening a surprise message makes the unwrapping of a new costume personal to the digital gift-giving process. How To Gift Skins! Marvel Rivals What is the future of friendship-driven gameplay? Gifting in Marvel Rivals is a minor feature, but it may yield a huge impact. Shared in-game content is a great way to enhance the social fabric within which the game is played; with it, community and cooperative play are enhanced, as well as having one more incentive to log in-an incentive as small as surprising someone else. The game keeps adding heroes and cosmetics, and it is likely that these would also evolve with the evolution of the gift feature. Limited-time holiday gifts, seasonal wrapping animations, or even special rewards given to frequent gifters are only some of the possibilities, rich like the Marvel multiverse itself. Whether you've been a long-time Marvel fan or a newcomer delighted by the strategic team dynamics of the game, gifting in Marvel Rivals is definitely strong. It's simple, satisfying, and gives emotional weight to an already compelling experience.

Riri Williams wants to build something iconic in trailer for Marvel's Ironheart
Marvel's next genius is Riri Williams, who sets out to build something iconic in the first trailer for Ironheart. After first appearing in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, MIT student Riri (Dominique Thorne) returns to Chicago with plans to build an armor suit similar to the one worn by Tony Stark. Riri's quest leads her to Parker Robbins (Anthony Ramos), aka The Hood, a mysterious figure who offers the young heroine a chance to complete her vision. However, Robbins is willing to bend the law and do some 'questionable things' to get the job done. Riri's loved ones warn her about Robbins' intentions, fearing it will send her down a dark path. Ultimately, it will be Riri's decision as to how she wants to achieve greatness. Ironheart's cast includes Lyric Ross, Alden Ehrenreich, Regan Aliyah, Manny Montana, Matthew Elam, and Anji White. Chinaka Hodge is the creator and head writer of Ironheart. Executive producers include Zoie Nagelhout and Black Panther's Ryan Coogler. The series balances elements of magic with science, resulting in a 'crazy combination.' 'Riri is definitely in conversation with a street-level show like Daredevil,' Coogler explained to 'You've got characters trying — both heroes and villains — to make do with what they have. Then you combine that with cosmic Marvel, characters who would be at home in Doctor Strange or WandaVision. That [mix] of street-level Marvel and magical Marvel is a pretty crazy combination.' Ironheart will conclude Phase Five of the MCU. The Fantastic Four: First Steps will kick off Phase Six in July. Ironheart will consist of six episodes that stream on Disney+. The first three episodes will premiere at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on June 24.
