Nicole Kidman Rumored to Be Up For Villainous Role in Marvel's SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY — GeekTyrant
Actress Nicole Kidman is no stranger to the comic book genre of film, as she played Aquaman's mom, Atlanna, in the Jason Momoa-led DC films. However, Kidman has not made her MCU debut, and that may be about to change. According to a new rumor from industry insider MTTSH, Kidman is being eyed to play the female villain in the upcoming sequel Spider-Man: Brand New Day . It was previously reported Marvel was casting for a 'dark, mysterious female character' with a Japanese-inspired look. This doesn't sound like Kidman, but getting such a talented actress would be a win, so the look could probably be adjusted. This is just a rumor for now, so we will just have to wait and see if it pans out. It's also a rumor that Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk could also have a co-starring role in the film. The film is set to star returning cast members Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Zendaya as MJ, and Jacob Batalon as Ned, along with newcomers Sadie Sink ( Stranger Things ) and Liza Colón-Zayas ( The Bear ). Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Will Reportedly Feature One of the MCU's Most Massive Practical Action Sequences — GeekTyrant
If you thought Spider-Man No Way Home was awesome, Spider-Man: Brand New Day might be swinging into even more ambitious territory, at least when it comes to practical stunt work. According to a new update from The Cosmic Circus' Alex Perez (via Discord), Marvel Studios is reportedly preparing "one of the MCU's biggest, if not the biggest, stunt sequences for Spider-Man: Brand New Day .' What makes this even more interesting is that it's said to be a practical action sequence, meaning real sets, real stunts, and real explosions… at least as real as it gets in the MCU. This massive scene is expected to take about a month to film and will be shot outdoors in a 'heavily populated area', so it's going to be a major street battle in New York City. The report comes after a rumor hit that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk could have co-starring role in the film, so if true, this action sequence could very well involve him. Now, While the whole thing will be rooted in practical effects, so it's safe to assume characters like the Hulk, could be layered in with motion capture after the fact. Speaking about his long arc in the MCU, Ruffalo recently said: "Kevin [Feige] was like, 'What would you like to do?' And he said, 'What would you do if you had a standalone Hulk movie?' I said, 'Well, I'd like to take him from this raging maniac to kind of this integrated character.' And he's like, 'Okay. We'll do that over the course of four movies.'" He also added: "'We'll never give you a standalone Hulk... I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that's just not going to [happen],' he said of Feige's promise to him. 'So, we'll do it over four movies, how does that sound?' As far as I know. I can talk more about it, but I've been told not to." While there's no official story details or who the villain will be, it's rumored that Mister Negative will be making his live-action debut. If true, that opens up some dark and supernaturally charged territory, especially if he has the power to bring out Hulk's savage alter egos like Joe Fixit or Maestro. With Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton behind the camera and Homecoming and No Way Home scribes Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers back on script duty, expectations are high. The cast includes returning leads Tom Holland and Zendaya, along with newcomers Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas. With Marvel keeping a tight lid on plot details, we're left to speculate, but if the rumors around this action set piece is true, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could deliver one of the most intense street-level spectacles we've ever seen in the MCU. Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.

SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Reportedly to Feature a Big-Time OG Avenger — GeekTyrant
Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be way more than just a solo Spidey outing. While early rumors flew around about wild team-ups like Spider-Man and The Punisher taking on the Hulk, one part of that fan-fiction-sounding trio may actually be coming true. According to Nexus Point News, Mark Ruffalo is set to return as Bruce Banner. The outlet reports: 'Banner's appearance will be much larger than a cameo, and Ruffalo will have a substantial role in the film.' If this is true, then we can expect Banner to Hulk out, and his involvement alone suggests something much bigger is brewing. Given where things left off in No Way Home , with Peter's world completely flipped and forgotten, it actually makes sense for him to turn to another science-minded hero for help. Fans have also been hungry to see Peter and Bruce interact more meaningfully with each other, which would be a really fun dynamic to play with. I can see Parker going to Banner for help in whatever predicament he finds himself in. If Ruffalo is joining the project, he'll join new cast members Sadie Sink , who is rumored to by playing Mayday Parker, and Liza Colón-Zayas. It's also reported that Steven Yeun is in talks for an undisclosed role, and Michael Mando will be back as the Scorpion. Filming kicks off this July in London, and director Destin Daniel Cretton is already hyping up the creative process, previously saying: 'I'm spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world. We're all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven't really seen before.' Tom Holland also previously said: 'I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That's all I can say.' We'll see how fresh that start really is when Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters July 31, 2026.
