It’s time for Spider-Man fans to rejoice, as it is no secret that the web-slinging hero is coming back to the big screen next year with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Now, as we all know, in the upcoming movie, no one remembers who Peter Parker is, so it would make perfect sense if the story revolving around him does not feature many previously seen characters. So, which characters will make their way from previous Marvel movies? Here is a list of all the confirmed and rumored Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast and characters.
Confirmed Cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day
1. Tom Holland as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man
It goes unsaid that Tom Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man for the upcoming Brand New Day. This movie might just be one of the most important movies in the lore of Spider-Man in the MCU, simply because after what happened in Spider-Man: No Way Home, nobody remembers who he is. Until now, we have seen Spider-Man in a rather comical and lighthearted mood, but now that he has lost everything, there is a good chance that the hero might just step towards being a little bit more serious. However, we will have to wait and see what happens.
2. Zendaya as Michelle “MJ” Jones-Watson
Even though she does not remember Peter, the ending of Spider-Man: No Way Home confirmed that Zendaya’s MJ is still going to be a part of Peter’s life in one way or another. It was pretty much confirmed even before the official announcement came that Zendaya is going to be in the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It would be interesting to see how things turn out between Peter and MJ in the upcoming Spider-Man movie.
3. Jacob Batalone as Ned Leeds
Jacob Batalone will appear as Ned Leeds in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and this time it might be a little awkward for the fans because he does not recall who Peter Parker is. Since the franchise first brought in Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Ned as his man in the chair, their dynamic has been the best part of the franchise. In the absence of that friendship, it remains interesting to see how Peter Parker and Ned unite in the movie. Other than that, there are also theories talking about Ned turning into the Hob Goblin, and if that happens, it would indeed be heartbreaking for the fans.
4. Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher
One of the biggest reveals we have at hand about Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s cast is the inclusion of Jon Bernthal as The Punisher. This reveal came to us some time back via The Hollywood Reporter, confirming the involvement, and it has opened a lot of commotion online, raising questions about Spider-Man: Brand New Day being an R-rated Spider-Man movie since The Punisher is set to appear.
However, there is little to no chance that it will turn out to be an R-rated project, but on the contrary, we could see a toned-down version of The Punisher in a PG-13 movie. So, what do you think about this? Let us know in the comments.
5. Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk
Another interesting reveal that came our way is the inclusion of Mark Ruffalo in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Bruce Banner or The Hulk. As of now, there are not a lot of details or speculations about how his character will work out for the upcoming movie since there has not been a lot of interaction between The Hulk and Spider-Man in the movies, so that would be an interesting thing to watch unfold.
6. Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan
As always, Jon Favreau will appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s cast as Happy Hogan; however, just like the others, he has no recollection of Peter Parker. However, I believe that one way or the other, Happy Hogan and Peter will end up working together once again, but since we have little to no information about how the plot will work out, there is a good chance it will.
7. Sadie Sink as Unknown
Now, we have a confirmed cast, but as of now, there are no reports on which character Sadie Sink will play in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. There are speculations that she might be given the role of Back Cat, marking her cinematic debut in Marvel as the character. With the lack of information around her, it’s not possible to point out exactly who she will play. So, let’s wait and see what happens.
Rumored Cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day
1. Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock/Daredevil
Charlie Cox joined Marvel as Daredevil back in 2015 and is now associated with the character timelessly. Recently, he put on the costume once again in Daredevil: Born Again, and as we were waiting for the release of its season 2, the news of Frank Castle or The Punisher appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day came our way. Now, fans speculate that if Frank is set to appear in the movie, there is a very good chance that Matt Murdock will do so as well. However, as of now, it’s just a fan theory, and we have no confirmation of it whatsoever.
2. Sydney Sweeney as Felicia Hardy/Black Cat
Another unexpected rumor comes towards us with the theory of Sydney Sweeney joining the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Now that might sound absurd to a lot of people, but this reveal was brought forward by Daniel RPK, who is often regarded as one of the most reliable scoopers when it comes to reveals and leaks. According to the rumor, Sydney Sweeney is set to play Felicia Hardy or Black Cat, but as of now, we have no official statement from either the actress or Marvel Studios.
3. Stephen Oyoung as Mister Negative
Multiple online rumors are talking about the involvement of Stephen Oyoung in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Mister Negative. These rumors caught wind after Stephen himself expressed interest in playing Mister Negative in a live-action movie after working on the Insomniac Spider-Man games. However, there is no confirmation so far from Marvel about it, but if they make it happen, Marvel Fans will lose their minds.
