All Spider-Man Brand New Day Villains: Scorpion, The Hand, Tarantula, and More

The recently released trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has confirmed a serious lineup of villains set to appear in the movie. The inclusion of said villains makes the upcoming movie one of the most challenging events for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. In No Way Home, he had the support of two other Spider-Men, but here, he is alone.

Unlike the previous movies in the franchise, Spider-Man: Brand New Day does not appear to focus on one central antagonist, but instead, brings in a multi-villain narrative. The trailer displays some of the villains set to appear in the movie, and here, you find all you need to know about the villains confirmed to appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

All 5 Confirmed Villains in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

As of now, we have confirmations of 5 villains who will appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and below, find all the details you need to know about them.

Scorpion

Scorpion is the most significant confirmed villain in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, finally paying off a storyline set in motion back in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Mac Gargan, played by Michael Mando, who was shown as a criminal seeking revenge from Spider-Man, now appears to have fully turned into The Scorpion, sporting his iconic Scorpion-like armor with his signature stinger.

His return and appearance in the movie brings us a sense of continuity to the MCU’s Spider-Man arc, as fans have been waiting for quite some time to see him finally appear as a full-fledged villain against Spider-Man.

Tarantula

Tarantula is one of the most unexpected additions to Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s villains. He made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #134 and is known for his agility, combat skills, and deadly precision. His presence in the trailer reinforces the ground-level, fast-paced action. As of now, we don’t know who is playing the villain, but we will update this article as soon as we know about the Tarantula actor in Spider-Man Brand New Day.

Boomerang

Boomerang, also known as Fredrick Myers, brings a different kind of chaos to the story. As a skilled assassin who uses special boomerangs as weapons, he adds another layer of complexity to the movie simply because of the nature of his character.

In Spider-Man comics, Boomerang is mostly a mercenary, but has a strong moral ethic. There are instances where he has worked along with Spider-Man and often adds some comic relief as well. However, it’s hard to say which version of the character Spider-Man: Brand New Day will serve us.

The Hand

One of the most surprising confirmations came in the form of The Hand, a secretive and highly dangerous ninja organisation usually associated with Daredevil. They are known for a deep-rooted influence and ties to the criminal world, which is why their presence introduces a new layer of complexity to Brand New Day.

Their presence points towards a possibility that the conflict we will see in the movie goes beyond just individual villains and seeps into organized networks operating behind the scenes. They also point towards the possibility of Daredevil’s appearance in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, so let’s wait and see what happens.

Tombstone

Even though not present in the trailer, Tombstone is confirmed to be a part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day as a villain. As of now, there is not much information regarding his capacity in the movie. All we know is that the character will be played by Marvin Jones III, also known as Krondon. However, there is a chance that we will get to see him in the second trailer for the upcoming movie.

Sadie Sink

Sadie Sink did not appear in the trailer for Spider-Man Brand New Day but there have been rumors that she is playing a villainous role in the movie. The rumor mill is going strong with Sadie Sink appearing as Jean Grey in the movie, however, nothing has been confirmed so far. We have made some educated guesses for what role could Sadie Sink play in Spider-Man Brand New Day.

A Larger Conspiracy Rooted in the ‘Gang War’ Storyline?

While the confirmed villains for Spider-Man: Brand New Day create a dangerous and crowded landscape, the trailer also suggests that there could be a possibility that these villains are not acting independently. Instead, it looks like the movie will build into a larger interconnected conflict involving multiple factions fighting for control of New York City.

The presence of The Hand suggests that the movie could be drawing inspiration from Gang War and other such factions or criminal groups could be fighting among themselves to gain control over the city’s underworld. This possibility significantly raises the stakes for Brand New Day since Spider-Man could find himself navigating through a complex web of conspiracies and alliances.

That being said, there is a very good chance that Brand New Day is shaping up to be a story where Spider-Man isn’t just fighting villains, but is caught in the middle of a city-wide war where every move he makes needs to be calculated.
