Which villains will be seen in Spider-Man-4? Here's all that we know about Peter Parker's next challenge
The rumour mill is working overtime yet again, and this time it's churning out stories regarding the villains we can expect to see in the upcoming Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day. Out of all the places in the world, The Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products Presentation provided the fans with some insight into all the possible characters that could be standing in the way of Peter Parker and justice in the fourth film of the franchise.
A user on Instagram who attended the presentation posted details about the event and the hints that they dropped during it. While the post is now deleted, it wasn't long before major publications picked it up and started breaking down all the information they had been provided with. The villains that have been named as a possibility for Spider-Man 4 include the Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tombstone. Scorpion and Tombstone have already been seen in the animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, playing the role of Kingpin's henchmen.

While this information is still standing on a shaky foundation, there is news about who Stranger Things actor Sadie Sink is going to play in the movie, and it originates from a much more credible source. While appearing on the podcast The Hot Mic, industry insider John Rocha talked about his discussion with someone from the Marvel camp, and he revealed that Sadie is likely to play the character of Mayday Parker or Spider-Girl. Mayday is the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson who belongs to the 'Marvel Comics 2' universe. Technically the redheaded troublemaker has already graced the screens, as she was seen as an infant in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and was introduced as the daughter of Peter and Mary from Earth 616, which is considered the original timeline.
If we look at the current information available to us about the three Spider-Men that appeared in the last film, it is most likely that Sadie will be playing the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane, who technically also belong to Earth 616. Even in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home, Tobey's Peter talks about his relationship with Dunst's Mary and says to Garfield's Peter, 'I wouldn't give up. It took a while, but we made it work, I and MJ.
As rumours about character appearances fill up to the brim, fans are waiting for any kind of confirmation from the studios, while Marvel and Disney, in classic fashion, are playing this close to the chest. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release in theatres on July 31, 2026.
