It’s official: Mark Ruffalo will be part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>. The actor was recently spotted on the set of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel, but in a way that fans did not see coming.<\/p>\n

X user @UnBoxPHD has shared the first look at Ruffalo on the Brand New Day set in London, with the actor covered in a green coat, likely to keep the actor warm between film takes but also possibly to prevent his costume from being spotted by the public. Interestingly, Ruffalo does not seem to be wearing any motion capture dots on his face, suggesting that the actor will be portraying Bruce Banner in his human form in the scene. This would mark a departure from how Banner has currently been appearing in the MCU, as Smart Hulk (the merged form of Banner and Hulk) has been the go-to look for the character since Avengers: Endgame.<\/p>\n

While Ruffalo did appear in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law as Bruce Banner’s human form, it was explained within the latter that he was only in this form to heal his arm, which was severely scarred\/injured in Endgame after reversing Thanos’ Blip. With Brand New Day set several years after this point in time, it remains unclear why Banner would be back in his human form, although there have been rumors hinting at the return of the “Savage Hulk” in the movie.<\/p>\n

The Hulk Is the Latest Avenger to Appear in a Spider-Man Movie<\/p>\n

Ruffalo’s Hulk is the latest Avenger to appear in the MCU-set Spider-Man movies. Since Marvel Studios and Sony first brokered a deal to bring Spider-Man into the shared universe, the superhero’s solo movies have included a major, non-Spider-Man MCU character who is typically there to assist Tom Holland’s fan-favorite webslinger. 2017’s Homecoming featured Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man (as well as a cameo from Chris Evans’ Captain America), while 2019’s Far From Home brought in Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury and Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill. However, 2021’s No Way Home took things to the next level by bringing back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield as their respective Spider-Mans<\/a>, while also featuring Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange, Benedict Wong’s Wong, and Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock.<\/p>\n

Brand New Day will continue No Way Home’s trend of featuring multiple heroes by having Holland’s Spider-Man also crossing paths with Jon Bernthal’s Punisher<\/a>, in what will be the vigilante’s return to the big screen for the first time since 2008’s Punisher War Zone, which featured the late Ray Stevenson in the title role. Following new set photos, Sadie Sink is heavily speculated to be portraying the Punisher’s sidekick, Rachel Cole<\/a>, who has been part of the antihero’s comic book mythos since 2011. With Marvin Jones III set to bring albino crime boss Tombstone to life and Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas rumored to be playing Jean DeWolff, Brand New Day looks set to bring several major characters into the MCU.<\/p>\n

The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.<\/p>\n
