The Spider-Man 4<\/a>\u00a0cast\u00a0continues to grow, with a new report revealing that two major characters will be joining Tom Holland in the upcoming MCU film. <\/p>\n

Who is joining Spider-Man 4\u2019s cast? <\/p>\n

According to a new report from THR, Mark Ruffalo<\/a> and Michael Mando will both be appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Ruffalo will be reprising his longtime MCU role as Bruce Banner\/The Hulk, while Mando will be reprising his role as Mac Gargan, also known as The Scorpion, a classic Spider-Man villain. <\/p>\n

Mando briefly appeared in the very first Spider-Man MCU movie, 2017\u2019s Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/a>. Mando\u2019s Gargan was captured by Spider-Man toward the end of the film, and then appeared in the film\u2019s post-credits scene, where he interacts with Adrian Toomes\/Vulture (Micheal Keaton) about Toomes potentially knowing Spider-Man\u2019s real identity.<\/p>\n

As for Ruffalo, we haven\u2019t seen his character in a Marvel Studios film since 2021\u2019s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, where he appeared in a mid-credits scene alongside Brie Larson\u2019s Carol Danvers and Benedict Wong\u2019s Wong to discuss the rings that Xu Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) found. Prior to that, The Hulk also appeared in 2019\u2019s Avengers: Endgame, and was also in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. <\/p>\n

While little is known about the upcoming film, THR\u2019s report notes that it\u2019s a safe bet that the film will feature the trio of Spider-Man, The Hulk, and The Punisher all fighting \u201cbefore figuring out who the real bad guys are.\u201d <\/p>\n

The pair of actors join an already star-studded cast, that includes new cast members Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas (The Bear), with Jon Bernthal also set to make his movie debut as Frank Castle\/Punisher. The latter recently played the anti-hero again in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. The movie is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O\u2019Connor, and Avi Arad.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man 4 will be released in United States theaters on July 31, 2026 ahead of Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027), following\u00a0Doomsday\u2019s delay<\/a>.<\/p>\n
