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.

All You Need To Know About Andrew Garfield And Monica Barbaro's Relationship, From The Oscars To Dog Walks In Malibu
Andrew Garfield cemented his status as a Hollywood icon a long time ago, but in recent years he has reached the highest ranks of all – becoming an 'internet boyfriend'. The Spider Man actor has amassed an army of doting fans with his romcom roles, vulnerability and charm, but sadly it looks as though he is someone's real boyfriend too (sigh) and that person is fellow actor Monica Barbaro. The pair were recently spotted walking Monica's dog Augustus, who was sporting a neck cone, in Malibu and were the picture of domestic bliss. If the rumours that they are a new item are true, we could well have a new 'It' couple on our hands. Here's everything we know about the Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro... While no one knows exactly how or when the rumoured couple first met, they did look cosy at the W Magazine Best Performances Party in January. Monica was there due to being nominated for an Oscar in the best supporting actress category for her role in the Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, opposite Timothée Chalamet. Andrew wasn't nominated this year, but he did present an award with Goldie Hawn at the ceremony. As for the W Magazine party, it looks like he's there in a +1 capacity to us... Andrew is notoriously private about his personal life. In fact, speaking to Esquire last October he said, 'I have never, and I won't ever, speak about or confirm or deny anything about my personal life with anyone, ever.' So it looks like we won't be getting a social media hard launch from these two anytime soon. However, Andrew and Monica have reportedly been dating since the start of the year. They attended the W Magazine Oscars party and posed for photos together. In February, they were spotted sitting together at a performance of Jonathan Bailey's Richard II in London. At the time, a source told People that 'they've been really low-key and have been spending time together quietly'. Andrew and Monica then attended the 2025 Oscars separately in March, but walked the red carpet at the same time. They were later photographed leaving the Vanity Fair Oscar Party and arriving at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Oscar party. A source there told Entertainment Tonight that the two actors were 'kissing and dancing the whole night'. Later in March, someone submitted a photo of the rumoured couple doing a food shop in Malibu to DeuxMoi. In April, the duo were spotted in Kyoto in Japan together with a TikTok user sharing a clip of them walking around the city together holding hands. On 3 May, Andrew and Monica visited the cast of John Proctor Is the Villain backstage on Broadway. The production shared photos of the two actors posing with the cast, writing: 'New students at helen county high: thanks for joining us andrew garfield, monica barbaro, and bonnie milligan!!' The pair were in town because two days later Monica made her Met Gala debut. While Monica stunned in a black and white Dior suit jacket and skirt, Andrew waited for her at the Mark Hotel in New York in a blue shirt and baseball cap. Of course, the stans spotted him there and put two and two together anyway. Then on 6 May, they went to watch Oh Mary! on Broadway and paid the cast of the production a visit backstage too... It's worth noting that Andrew was wearing the exact same outfit. Let's hope he packed a few more for the trip. The cast and special guests pose backstage at the play 'Oh, Mary!' on Broadway in May. (Photo: Getty) On 26 May, they were spotted back in Malibu walking Monica's dog. Andrew is 41 years old and Monica is 34. Ever the perfect match for Andrew, Monica is notoriously private about her personal life too. According to the internet, she previously dated Connor Tillman, who is a film producer and writer. As for Andrew, despite his best efforts, we do know a few of his exes. Andrew's dating history includes relationships with actress Shannon Woodward (2009-2011), actress Emma Stone, and actress Susie Abromeit (2018). He has also been linked to Rita Ora (December 2018), Aisling Bea (March 2019), Alyssa Miller (November 2021-April 2022), and Phoebe Dynevor (November 2022). Nikki Peach is a writer at Grazia UK, working across entertainment, TV and news. She has also written for the i, i-D and the New Statesman Media Group and covers all things pop culture for Grazia (treating high and lowbrow with equal respect).

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.

The Last Of Us actress Kaitlyn Dever has said that Andrew Garfield being so outspoken about his grief after his mother's death helped her with her own loss.

She said: 'I would Google it and watch it often, because I always felt like… the worst thing in my life that could happen was losing my best friend. 'And I always thought that I wouldn't be able to go on. 'But then I'd look at Andrew and think, 'well, his life seems to be moving forwards'.' Advertisement She also spoke to the online magazine about filming The Last of Us days after her mother's funeral. Dever, who attended London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (Rada), said: 'I had just experienced (my loss). 'Even though death is part of the human experience, we are not meant to be used to grief and watching your best friend die. So that was a crazy line to repeat over and over again because I had just seen her. 'She wasn't alive any more and I saw her body in the hospital. And that experience is so gut-wrenching. Nothing will ever be as bad as that.'
