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.

All about Stranger Things star Sadie Sink role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Since its announcement in March, fans are buzzing with excitement about Sadie Sink potentially joining the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. But not much was disclosed about Sadie's on-screen character. Destin Daniel Cretton will direct Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 31, 2026. But a recent update has shifted the conversation's focus. Apparently, Sadie is not going to play a villain. Rather, she might be taking on the role of a superhero. Industry insider John Rocha revealed on a recent podcast, The Hot Mic, that Sadie Sink is portraying Mary Jane Watson and Peter Parker's daughter, Mayday Parker. Making new plot work in Spider-Man: Brand New Day The possibility that Spider-Man: Brand Recent Day will be based on the multiverse premise, which was already tampered with in the previous Spider-Man: No Way Home, has increased by this recent update. It is conceivable that the blending of histories will also guarantee Mayday Marker's encounter with Peter Parker from Earth-616, which would inevitably lead to Avengers: Secret Wars, given that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Spider-Man have crossed into Tom Holland's universe. Who is Mayday Parker? In 1998, Mayday Parker made his Marvel Comics debut in What If…? #105. She is referred to as Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman in various comic runs. She becomes a hero in her own right after inheriting her father's abilities. In 2023, her character appeared in animated episodes of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. However, this would be her debut appearance in a live-action movie. The remaining cast members are still being assembled by director Destin Daniel Cretton. Liza Colón-Zayas from The Bear is among the newest additions. However, her part in the movie is also still being kept a secret. Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is anticipated to start later this year, following Tom Holland's completion of The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan.

Sadie Sink in Spider-Man: Brand New Day; Here's everything you need to know about her role
Stranger Things fame Sadie Sink became the latest addition to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans have been eagerly speculating about her role amid several reports about her possible role in the film. Although no official details about her character were released by the makers following her casting announcement in March, a new update has seemingly shifted the narrative. Previously, several theories around her role were reported. It included speculations about Sadie playing iconic X-Men character Jean Grey, while others guessed Firestar or even Mary Jane Watson herself. A rumour also suggested that she might portray Lily Hollister, aka the villain Menace. Amid this, industry insider John Rocha, speaking on a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast, revealed what Sadie Sink may not be seen as in the upcoming film. Rocha claimed that Sadie Sink is set to portray Mayday Parker, the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson. It this is true, then a major plot twist in the film franchise is guaranteed for the films. In the episode, Rocha also revealed that the upcoming version of Mayday Parker won't be tied to Tom Holland's Spider-Man. She is reportedly part of a different timeline, connecting her to Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. It would make her the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson. 'My source heard Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker. So, connecting to the Tobey universe. She's his daughter,' Rocha said. This leaves room for the film to explore a multiverse storyline and even bring Sadie's Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, bridging different cinematic Spider-Man universes. This revelation has fueled further speculation that the film could explore a multiverse storyline, potentially bringing Sadie as Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland of Spider-Man. The character, to be played by Sadie, Mayday Parker, first appeared in What If...? #105 by Marvel Comics. In the comics, she eventually inherits her father's powers and carves her own path as Spider-Girl or even Spider-Woman. While the character made an appearance in the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sadie Sink essaying the role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be the first time Mayday is portrayed in a live-action film. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Besides Sadie, the film saw another addition of The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas. It is scheduled to start filming later this year after Tom Holland wraps up filmmaker Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. The film will be released in theatres on July 31, 2026.

'Stranger Things' Season 5 is coming: Episode titles, cast members — and what we know so far about the final season's release
Our favorite Indiana teens are coming back for one more round of interdimensional drama. Stranger Things is set to return this year for its fifth and final season, and with it, a continuation of the story that put fan favorites like Sadie Sink's Max in grave danger after a battle with Jamie Campbell Bower's villain Vecna. With so many questions still unanswered (will Max ever wake up from her coma? What will happen to the town of Hawkins now that the Upside Down is invading?!), it's hard to believe we're nearing the end of Stranger Things. Since its debut in the summer of 2016, the series has built a world filled with supernatural suspense, iconic characters (RIP Eddie!) and ride-or-die friendships. It's also a love letter to all things '80s, celebrating everything from Dungeons & Dragons to hanging at the roller rink — all with an epic synth soundtrack. Soon, we'll all be wistful for the series that made nostalgia cool. Here's everything we know so far about the upcoming season of Stranger Things. Season 4 of Stranger Things followed the Hawkins crew as they tried to stop Vecna, a powerful new villain with ties to Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown). Vecna, once known as Henry Creel, was the first child experimented on by Dr. Brenner (Matthew Modine) in the Hawkins lab, but after Eleven defeated him as a child, he was sent to the Upside Down. At the beginning of the season, Vecna exacted his revenge with a string of teen murders, leading the gang to team up to defeat him. Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Max, Eleven, Will (Noah Schnapp), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin), Steve (Joe Keery), Nancy (Natalia Dyer) and Robin (Maya Hawke) worked together across different locations and dimensions to stop Vecna, but unfortunately, it didn't go quite as well as they hoped: In the season finale, Vecna's still around, Max is in a coma and the Upside Down is starting to take over the real world. The only thing we know for sure is that Stranger Things is headed to Netflix in 2025 — but we don't know when, or if the season will drop in two parts, like the fourth season did. Production on the final season wrapped in December 2024. Stranger Things Season 5 will consist of eight episodes — and we already know their names. The final season of Stranger Things features eight episodes titled 'The Crawl,' 'The Vanishing of …,' 'The Turnbow Trap,' 'Sorcerer,' 'Shock Jock,' 'Escape from Camazotz,' 'The Bridge' and 'The Rightside Up.' While we don't know how long each Stranger Things episode will be, Wolfhard, who plays Mike, told Collider that while some episodes run closer to 45 minutes, we should expect others to be as long as a feature film. That checks out, given the longer runtime of Season 4's episodes — including the finale, which clocked in at two hours and 24 minutes. Ross Duffer, who cocreated the series with his brother Matt Duffer, said at the Next on Netflix event in January that they spent a full year filming the season, and that, by the end, they had captured over 650 hours of footage. 'So, needless to say, this is our biggest and most ambitious season yet,' he said. 'It's like eight blockbuster movies. It's pretty, pretty insane.' And Bower previously told Netflix that while Season 4 of the show was 'big,' the show's final season 'definitely feels bigger.' Most of your favorites are confirmed to be back: Noah Schnapp as Will Byers, Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven, David Harbour as Jim Hopper, Winona Ryder as Joyce Byers, Cara Buono as Karen Wheeler, Joe Keery as Steve Harrington, Amybeth McNulty as Vickie, Charlie Heaton as Jonathan Byers, Brett Gelman as Murray Bauman, Maya Hawke as Robin Buckley, Natalia Dyer as Nancy Wheeler, Jamie Campbell Bower as Vecna/Henry Creel, Priah Ferguson as Erica Sinclair, Gaten Matarazzo as Dustin Henderson, Caleb McLaughlin as Lucas Sinclair, Finn Wolfhard as Mike Wheeler and Sadie Sink as Max Mayfield will all return for the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Stranger Things is adding new cast members Nell Fisher, Jake Connelly and Alex Breaux to the show's final season. And staying true to its pattern of casting '80s icons — like its star Winona Ryder and cast members like The Goonies star Sean Astin and Aliens' Paul Reiser — the series has also cast The Terminator's Linda Hamilton in a role that is still under wraps. There is no trailer yet, though the show did release a behind-the-scenes video from the filming of the upcoming season. While no one is giving away any big spoilers at the moment, Matt Duffer revealed in a press release earlier this year that the new season has 'no time for a ramp-up,' meaning it's 'going to be intense from beginning to end.' And Ross noted that the new season will feel 'familiar' to longtime fans of the series. 'This season is the biggest it's ever been in scale, but everyone's back together in Hawkins, interacting the same way they were in Season 1.' According to the official Stranger Things episode title announcement, Season 5 picks up in the fall of 1987, more than a year after Season 4, which unfolds in March of 1986. But eagle-eyed fans noticed something quite interesting in footage of Harbour and Wolfhard filming Stranger Things in Atlanta, which is a stand-in for downtown Hawkins. On the set, there is reportedly a movie theater advertising Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade — a movie that came out in 1989, two years after the series picks up again. So it's possible, though hardly confirmed, that we may see our characters throughout a wider time span than in previous seasons. One of the bigger theories heading into Season 5 involves the resurrection of metalhead Eddie, played by Joseph Quinn. Eddie was tragically swarmed by demobats in Season 4, leading to his demise — but some think his manner of death is a clue that he could return in a new form. It all has to do with the Dungeons & Dragons story of Kas the Bloody-Handed, a warrior who was killed by Vecna and later resurrected as a bloodsucker. So far, though, Quinn has not confirmed a return to the Netflix series … but if this is the case, it's not like he would ruin the surprise. Another theory points to how Stranger Things might end — and it's pretty depressing for Eleven. One theory popular with fans is that Eleven will take Vecna's place as the ruler of the Upside Down, but instead of it being a dark, gloomy hellscape, she'll use her psychic abilities to create a paradise. That means, of course, she'll leave dad Hopper and boyfriend Mike in the real world … unless they can vacation there on school breaks?! You can learn more about Vecna's backstory in the special-effects-heavy stage show Stranger Things: The First Shadow, which began its run in London's West End before setting up shop on Broadway as well. While there's no Eleven, Mike or any of the other Hawkins teens, the play does take audiences back to the small Indiana town circa 1959, when Hopper and Joyce were in high school.
