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.

From villain to hero: Meet Marvel's new Hawaii-born Spider-Girl
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Look out New York — and Hawaii. There's a new Spider-Hero in town. Just released this week, Marvel Comic's latest character. Her name? Spider-Girl. And she's complicated, powerful and better yet, she's Hawaii-born. She's fierce. She's fearless and bringing a fresh twist on classic Spidey vibes. Marvel's new Spider-Girl is officially here and she's creating a buzz. 'Avengers: Doomsday' cast includes Hemsworth's Thor, Mackie's Cap, Fantastic Four and original X-Men 'It's cool because it does bring awareness to the Hawaiian culture itself,' said Stig Lapoint, a comic book fan. This Next-Gen web slinger has roots in Hawaii. Her secret identity is Makawalu Akana and has a dark past that's unlike any Spider hero before her. 'She's a protege of a famous Daredevil villain called 'Bullseye,' and she's breaking away from that in the series and trying to become a proper hero,' said David Nakayama, a veteran cover artist who created the cover art for the debut issue. That's right, Spider-Girl didn't start out trying to save the day. Her superpower is being able to copy other superpowers.'I mean, that's literally the reason I signed on to do the project in the first place. They told me, Spider-Girl, she's Hawaiian. I'm like, Yes, you got me. I'm in,' Nakayama said. David says the challenge was to capture both power and personality in a single image. 'She's of two worlds, right? Like she's from Hawaii, but she's now fighting crime in New York, like a proper Spider person. So we wanted to capture that duality, right?' Nakayama said. 'She's also a youthful spider character, right? She's not Spider-Man, she's Spider-Girl. So, you know, putting in things like little plushies and tassels in her hair is something my daughter would wear. That's kind of the youthful energy we wanted to communicate,' The new ongoing Spider-Girl series is written by Torunn Gronbekk, known for her work with Thor and Venom.

'You know, superhero women who are superheroes, has become much more popular in the last, you know, 20-25, years. And I think that's great. So that that hopefully will be a new crowd younger female readers who will get into comics,' said Charlie Whitesell, owner of Other Realms comic book store. Can Spider-Girl truly leave her villainous past behind and make it as a hero? You'll have to read it to see. The debut issue is on shelves now. David Nakayama will be signing copies of the debut issue on June 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Other Realms located on Nimitz Hwy in Iwilei. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Science and Technology Daily: Into Tech Park: Zooming In on China's Innovative Spirit
TIANJIN, China , May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Imagine controlling objects with your mind, like a Marvel Comic superhero. In Tianjin , this fantasy is becoming reality. Picture Osuagwu Obinna Ikechukwu, a young Nigerian researcher at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), wearing a headset connected to a wearable 'backpack,' attempting to lift a bottle using only his thoughts. With the help of a futuristic 'sixth finger' device developed by Tianjin University (TJU)'s Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Machine Integration team, he succeeded. 'Amazing!' he exclaimed, a sentiment echoed by four other international researchers on this unforgettable journey. Into Tech Park: Zooming In on China's Innovative Spirit Hosted by S&T Daily, this week-long expedition was a deep dive into China's innovation ecosystem and cultural heritage. The group of young international innovators explored how China at large is embracing the future through science, technology and global collaboration. Hard tech: the future has arrived Tianjin's high-tech zones embody China's vision for a smarter, greener and more connected world. At the heart of this innovation engine is TJU, one of the powerhouses of talent and research. TJU's close collaboration with the high-tech zones fosters breakthroughs in research, innovation and industrial development. The university supplies academic expertise and talent, while the zones provide real-world applications and commercialization opportunities. At TJU Medical School, for example, the students experienced revolutionary non-invasive brain-computer interface technology. Meanwhile, at the School of Marine Science and Technology, they navigated a ship-handling simulator replicating real-world navigation conditions and complete with dynamic weather and sea environments. Timothy Hutagaol , an Indonesian student at TJU, was particularly impressed by the ASEAN-China Marine Education Big Data Platform, a digital tool enhancing regional cooperation. 'What fascinates me about China is how deeply technology is integrated into everyday life — in every sector, you see it fully implemented,' Timothy said. But innovation in Tianjin isn't confined to labs. The journey also revealed a seamless blend of culture and technology. Kazakh student Akbayan Yerlankyzy from UCAS, an architecture enthusiast, was captivated by traditional design principles at the TJU Institute of Architectural History and Heritage Conservation. The group participated in a hands-on workshop assembling wooden structures using ancient techniques, including the iconic dougong, interlocking brackets that define classical Chinese architecture. 'This activity showed us the harmony between structure, aesthetics and tradition,' Obinna said. For TJU student Song Ziyan, the exchange highlighted technology's role in preserving heritage. 'I didn't expect foreign students to be so passionate about this field. Their curiosity embodies the spirit of people-to-people exchange,' Song said. However, as young French researcher Theo Yossa at UCAS noted, 'Many French people recognize China's technological advancement but may not fully grasp its depth in certain areas. Better information sharing could enhance cooperation and mutual awareness.' This sentiment aligns with China's commitment to openness. A prime example is Danfoss, a leading Danish heating technology company, which made its first investment in China in 1996 by establishing Danfoss ( Tianjin ) Co., Ltd. After over two decades, the subsidiary has developed into a modern factory integrating research and development and intelligent manufacturing. Here, cutting-edge automation meets sustainability, proving that Industry 4.0 is a tangible force driving efficiency and environmental responsibility. Soft environment: where ideas grow But innovation doesn't happen in a vacuum. The soft environment, like supportive policies, infrastructure and a culture of entrepreneurship, is just as important. That's where places like the National Offshore Entrepreneurial Base for Overseas Professionals come in. Designed to welcome international startups, it provides the tools, mentorship and networks needed to turn ideas into scalable businesses. At the base, Moaaz Awan from Pakistan was intrigued by the streamlined process for obtaining China's Permanent Residence Card. 'If you meet residency and employment requirements, applying for permanent residence becomes a major incentive for long-term stays,' he said. A young entrepreneur, Richard Gao , who returned to China from France to launch his startup, emphasized the base's value: 'It connects research institutions, universities and companies, as a one-stop solution for businesses.' These young innovators were impressed by the fertile environment provided by the base and China . They said China offers subsidized offices, business expense support, and even seed funding for strong projects. These are excellent examples of practical incentives. For those who witness China's development course, its openness isn't just rhetoric. 'Cities like Tianjin , Beijing and Guangzhou each offer unique policy experiments,' Awan observed. 'This mix-and-match approach helps businesses find their ideal ecosystem.' A recent milestone in the Tianjin tech world is the launch of the city's first fully foreign-owned hospital by a Singaporean group. 'While not all sectors are fully open, the trend is clear,' Awan said. 'This is the time to seize opportunities and share them globally.' At the same time, the Peking University Entrepreneurship Camp in Tianjin showcases how academia and industry collaborate to accelerate intelligent technologies, from AI to robotics. Meanwhile, at Assure Power Technology ( Tianjin ), a company incubated in the camp, the research team shared their breakthrough in low-wind turbine technology, an innovation supporting China's clean energy goals and opening doors for global partnerships, particularly with countries like Indonesia . 'This experience proved green energy isn't just a scientific challenge,' Obinna concluded. 'It's a bridge for worldwide sustainability collaboration.'
