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

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

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). <\/p>\n

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<\/a> post. <\/p>\n

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

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<\/a>, teased in a social media post dropped at the weekend.<\/p>\n

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<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
