The fourth Spider-Man outing will bring back a few familiar faces to the MCU, with one star sharing a sneak peek at their new look.

The upcoming Phase Six Spidey movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is set to star Better Call Saul’s Michael Mando as Mac Gargan, aka the Scorpion.

Mando appeared in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming as the criminal arrested by the FBI and vowing revenge on Tom Holland’s Peter Parker in a mid-credits scene with Adrian Toomes (Michael Keaton).

Now, the actor will reprise the role of Mac in his Scorpion alias, and teased the scorpion tattoo on his neck and his new green suit in an Instagram post.

“St!ng,” Mando wrote in his post alongside a selfie showing his neck ink. He also posted images of the Scorpion to his Stories.

But Mando won’t be the only one having a makeover for film number four. It seems that Peter will also be donning a brand new suit, teased in a social media post dropped at the weekend.

Fans were quick to point out that the red and blue suit resembles those worn by previous Spider-Man stars Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who famously joined Holland in an epic reunion for 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Brand New Days follows the events of No Way Home, with the spell cast by Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) causing the world to forget Spider-Man’s real identity and erasing all memories of Peter from those closest to him, including girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon).

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to be released in cinemas on 31 July, 2026.
