A new rumor suggests that a dangerous Spider-Man: Brand New Day villain will have a prominent role in the MCU moving forward. Hitting theaters this summer, the upcoming movie will feature several new antagonists who appear to bring different challenges to the titular hero\u2019s vigilante career.<\/p>\n
Spider-Man: Brand New Day may not be Scorpion\u2019s last movie<\/p>\n
According to a new rumor, Michael Mando\u2019s Mac Gargan a.k.a. Scorpion will return to the MCU after Spider-Man: Brand New Day.<\/p>\n
The rumor comes from notable scooper MyTimetoShineHello. They wrote on X (formerly Twitter), \u201cScorpion will return.\u201d However, they did not specify in which projects the character will show up next.<\/p>\n
A recent rumor<\/a> has suggested that Scorpion will be a major antagonistic force in Brand New Day alongside Tombstone.<\/p>\n Details about Gargan\u2019s role in the overarching narrative are being kept under wraps. However, it is known from the film\u2019s teaser trailer<\/a> released last month that he will fight Spider-Man at some point in the film. Moreover, the footage suggests that his conflict with the hero may not be a priority, as he is likely after something or someone else and views the latter as simply an obstacle in his path. This is evident in the 1:58 mark when he coldly warns the webslinger to \u201cstay out of [his] way.\u201d<\/p>\n Gargan last appeared in 2017\u2019s Spider-Man: Homecoming. A criminal associate of Adrian Toomes (Vulture), the FBI arrested him after Spider-Man interfered in a transaction involving salvaged alien weaponry between Gargan and Toomes\u2019 team. He later appeared in the film\u2019s mid-credits scene, swearing revenge on the hero and asking Toomes about the webslinger\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31, 2026. Destin Daniel Cretton directed the film from a screenplay by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios\u2019 Kevin Feige co-produced the movie with Amy Pascal (Pascal Pictures), Avi Arad, and Rachel O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker\/Spider-Man. The movie\u2019s supporting cast includes Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Sadie Sink in an undisclosed role, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle\/Punisher, Tramell Tillman as Bill, and Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner\/Hulk.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Abdul Azim Naushad on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/p>\n The post Deadly Spider-Man Villain To Return After Brand New Day \u2014 Report<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new rumor suggests that a dangerous Spider-Man: Brand New Day villain will have a prominent role in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401753,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[74241,12029,156,55051,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-401752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-adrian-toomes","tag-brand-new-day","tag-entertainment","tag-mac-gargan","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401752","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401752"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401752\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401753"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401752"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401752"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401752"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
