Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> is set to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026, and we\u2019ll finally get to know how Tom Holland\u2019s Peter Parker has been dealing with the world forgetting who he was.<\/p>\n

While we still don\u2019t know too much about the story of this film, the cast is starting to become a bit clearer. To that end, we\u2019re here to gather all the big confirmed and reported members of this production that will help lead us into Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll keep updating this page as we learn more about the cast and characters of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but for now, let us know what you\u2019re hoping for in this much-anticipated entry in the MCU!<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Cast and Characters: Who’s Confirmed for the MCU Sequel?\"Spider-Man:Tom Holland as Peter Parker \/ Spider-Man\"\"<\/a>Tom Holland on set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Image Credit: MEGA\/GC Images<\/p>\n

Tom Holland will once again star as Peter Parker \/ Spider-Man in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but perhaps at the lowest we\u2019ve ever seen him. Well, maybe the second lowest, as turning to dust in Tony Stark\u2019s arms sounds pretty awful.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a spell Doctor Strange had to cast to cause the world to forget Peter Parker, Holland\u2019s character has never been more alone. As if that isn\u2019t bad enough, he\u2019s also still mourning the death of Aunt May. <\/p>\n

Holland himself has talked about the upcoming film,<\/a> saying it \u201creally feels like we aren’t making the fourth movie. We’re making the first movie in the chapter. This is a rebirth. This is something completely new.”<\/p>\n

Hopefully, it stops being so painful,<\/a> as Holland was recently rushed to the hospital and suffered a \u201cmild concussion\u201d while filming a stunt on Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Hey, no one said being a superhero was easy! <\/p>\n

Zendaya as Michelle \u2018MJ\u2019 Jones\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We all know and love that Zendaya and Holland are engaged in real life, but things aren\u2019t so great for the pair in the MCU. At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Dr. Strange\u2019s spell made the world forget Peter Parker, and that included his love interest, MJ.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, these two hearts can reconnect in Brand New Day! When they last saw each other in No Way Home, MJ may have felt something when Parker was trying to hold back tears while saying goodbye at the shop where she worked, hinting that there may be a part of her that still remembers the love they felt for each other.<\/p>\n

Jacob Batalon is Peter Parker\u2019s closest friend, Ned; unfortunately, the events of Spider-Man: Brand New Day also resulted in Ned forgetting who Peter Parker is too. <\/p>\n

Good friendships can last through most things, and we hope these two can get back to being best friends and laughing together. However, could the lack of Ned in Peter\u2019s life, at least for the moment, lead our hero to finding a new friend? Perhaps one in the Osborn family? <\/p>\n

Sadie Sink\"\"<\/a>Image Credit: Sean Zanni\/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images<\/p>\n

Via Deadline,<\/a> Stranger Things\u2019 Sadie Sink has reportedly been cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, although it has yet to be confirmed who she will be playing. However, that hasn\u2019t stopped the rumor mill, and Deadline speculates that Sink will play either X-Men character Jean Grey or \u201canother beloved redheaded Spider-Man character.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

The latter suggestion clearly hints at Mary Jane Watson, but this Spidey series already has its \u2018MJ\u2019 in Zendaya, even though she plays Michelle Jones-Watson. Either way, Sink looks to be playing a \u201csignificant\u201d role in this fourth MCU Spidey film, so we shouldn\u2019t have to wait too much longer to find out who her character is.<\/p>\n

Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle \/ The Punisher\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Via THR,<\/a> Jon Bernthal has once again been cast as Frank Castle, aka the Punisher, but this time it will be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. He may have to be a little less violent, as this film is PG-13, but his presence will still no doubt be felt.<\/p>\n

The last time we saw the Punisher was in Disney+\u2019s Daredevil: Born Again, where he was Kingpin\u2019s prisoner at Red Hook. However, he was able to grab a guard and break his arm to escape, seemingly setting him up to appear in not only Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but also his own Guardians of the Galaxy-style Marvel special.<\/a><\/p>\n

Could we also see Charlie Cox\u2019s Daredevil in Spider-Man: Brand New Day after he appeared in Spider-Man: No Way Home? Only time will tell!<\/p>\n

Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner \/ The Hulk\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Via THR,<\/a> Mark Ruffalo\u2019s Bruce Banner \/ The Hulk will be part of the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, giving us one of those MCU crossovers<\/a> we love so much.<\/p>\n

The last time we saw Banner was in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, when he returned to Earth and introduced his son, Skaar, to his cousin, Jennifer Walters \/ She-Hulk, and even Matt Murdock \/ Daredevil.<\/p>\n

Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas\"null\"<\/a>Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas as Tina Marrero in The Bear.<\/p>\n

Via Deadline,<\/a> The Bear\u2019s Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas has reportedly been cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans are speculating that this could be a great sign that we will be getting Miles Morales in this film<\/a>, and that Col\u00f3n-Zayas will be playing Miles\u2019 mother, Rio Morales. Col\u00f3n-Zayas is of Puerto Rican descent and grew up in New York, just like Rio.<\/p>\n

However, she could just be another mother-like figure for Peter Parker, as he tragically lost Marisa Tomei\u2019s Aunt May in Spider-Man: No Way Home.<\/p>\n

Marvin Jones III as Lonnie Lincoln \/ Tombstone\"\"<\/a>Image Credit: John Nacion\/Variety via Getty Images<\/p>\n

Via Deadline,<\/a> Marvin Jones III is reportedly set to play Lonnie Lincoln, aka Tombstone.<\/a> Fans may find this casting rings a bell, because Jones was already the voice of Tombstone in 2018\u2019s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.<\/p>\n

Tombstone first made his debut in Marvel Comics\u2019 Web of Spider-Man #36 in March 1988, and he\u2019s been a thorn in Spidey\u2019s side for a long time. According to Marvel\u2019s website, he\u2019s a threat either alone or as part of an organized crime syndicate or supervillain team, and he has close ties to people very close to Peter Parker.<\/p>\n

Michael Mando as Scorpion\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Via THR,<\/a> Michael Mando is set to reprise his role as Mac Gargan \/ Scorpion, the Spidey villain who first appeared in the MCU in 2017\u2019s Spider-Man: Homecoming. The last place we saw Mando\u2019s Scorpion was in jail, where he was talking to Michael Keaton\u2019s Adrian Toomes \/ Vulture about Spidey\u2019s real identity.<\/p>\n

With the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it seems any knowledge of Spider-Man being Peter Parker may have been erased, but that doesn\u2019t mean Scorpion can\u2019t still wreak some havoc. And while there haven\u2019t been any concrete reports, Mando\u2019s casting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day could hint at Keaton\u2019s return as well!<\/p>\n

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds\u2019 and Wynonna Earp\u2019s Melanie Scrofano revealed via Instagram<\/a> that she has been cast in an undisclosed role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.<\/p>\n

Will Tobey Maguire and\/or Andrew Garfield Be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day?\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While we all loved seeing Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield return as their versions of Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home to team up with Tom Holland’s Spidey, the end of the film saw everyone being sent back to their own universe. Now, will we get some flashbacks or a potential surprise appearance by these two? Never say never, but keep your expectations in check! <\/p>\n
