Spider-Man fans, get ready for some exciting updates on the upcoming Marvel movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Some recent leaks on Instagram have hinted at potential villains that our friendly neighborhood webslinger might face in the highly anticipated film. The now-deleted post shared by Hiyo Cao, an assistant to the movie's director Destin Daniel Cretton, revealed two specific Spider-Man comic book covers that suggest Tom Holland's Spider-Man could go up against Tarantula and Boomerang.
While this leak doesn't guarantee the appearance of these villains in Brand New Day, the quick deletion of the post hints at the possibility of their involvement. Marvel President Kevin Feige's recent comments further fuel this speculation, as he mentioned Cretton bringing comic covers to life in the movie. With these hints, it seems likely that Tarantula and Boomerang will make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Spider-Man 4.
Boomerang has been previously rumored to be part of a trio of villains in Brand New Day, along with Tombstone and Scorpion. The potential inclusion of Tarantula raises questions about a potential Sinister Six team-up scenario in the MCU. Additionally, the two comic book covers also tease the appearance of Daredevil and the resurgence of Venom in the movie.
Fans have been eager to see a team-up between Spider-Man and Daredevil on the big screen, especially after the multiversal storyline in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Could we see Charlie Cox's Daredevil crossing paths with Tom Holland's Spider-Man once again? And with the lingering symbiote elements in the MCU, there's speculation about Venom making an appearance as well.
Moreover, Jon Bernthal's Punisher is rumored to feature in Brand New Day, adding more layers to the web of possibilities in the upcoming movie. As production gears up for Spider-Man 4, fans are eagerly awaiting behind-the-scenes glimpses that could confirm or debunk these exciting speculations.
On the production front, filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has commenced in Glasgow, with the Scottish city standing in for New York City. Tom Holland leads the cast once again, with familiar faces like Zendaya returning alongside new addition Sadie Sink. Scheduled for release in July 2026, the movie promises to continue the thrilling adventures of Peter Parker post the events of No Way Home.
As the Marvel Cinematic Universe expands, with familiar characters and new villains set to grace the screen, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be another blockbuster hit for fans of the iconic web-slinger. Stay tuned for more updates on this eagerly awaited addition to the Spider-Man franchise.
