Is Tombstone Going to Appear in Spider-Man Brand New Day? Here’s What the Leaks Say

When it comes to Marvel land, the talk of the town right now is Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which once again brings us Tom Holland as Spider-Man, and while we are looking forward to its release, a majority of the speculation revolves around the villains who are set to appear in the movie and one of them is Tombstone who was brought to screen with Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. So, without further ado, let’s take a look at what we know so far.

Will Tombstone Appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day?

Spider-Man: New Day features a lot of interesting villains, and since Tombstone was introduced in the above-mentioned animated series, fans have been speculating for him to be carried over to Marvel’s live-action world as well.

So, to answer your question, yes, according to a report brought to us by Deadline, Tombstone will appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and will be played by Marvin Jones III. The actor has his fair share of experience, considering that he has lent his voice to the character in Into the Spider-Verse and the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse. As of now, we can’t say for certain how big a role he is going to have in the movie, so we will have to wait for more details to put it all together.

Who Is Tombstone in Marvel Comics?

Tombstone made his first appearance in Marvel Comics back in 1988, in Web of Spider-Man #36. Originally, Tomstone/Lonnie Lincoln was an African-American man who was exposed to a chemical named Diox-3, which gave him near-indestructible skin and superhuman strength. He turned into one of the most notorious crime bosses of New York City and hence became a recurring villain to Spider-Man.

As of now, Tombstone has not received a lot of recognition on screen and has only appeared briefly in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and is also set to appear in the upcoming Beyond the Spider-Verse. His first major appearance on screen was in Your Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, but now, the character is finally set to appear in live action with the upcoming Spider-Man movie.

The running theory about his appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is that he would appear in a supporting role under a crime boss who is speculated to be Mister Negative, but as of now, we do not have a confirmation regarding this from Marvel or any other sources. So, let’s wait and see what happens, and till then, stay tuned with us for more updates!
