Spider-Man fans have reason to celebrate—Marvel's web-slinging hero is returning to the big screen in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With Peter Parker’s identity erased from everyone’s memory after No Way Home, the film is expected to mark a new chapter, likely featuring fewer returning characters from earlier entries. So, who’s in and who might be? Here’s a look at the confirmed and rumored cast for Brand New Day.

Confirmed Cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day

  • Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker, facing a more serious chapter in his superhero journey.
  • Zendaya reprises her role as MJ, though she no longer remembers Peter—a dynamic expected to evolve in the sequel.
  • Jacob Batalon is back as Ned Leeds, whose loss of memory complicates his bond with Peter, and theories suggest a possible Hobgoblin arc.
  • Jon Bernthal, confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, joins as a toned-down version of Frank Castle/The Punisher, tailored for PG-13 audiences.
  • Mark Ruffalo will appear as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, though how his story integrates with Peter’s remains to be seen.
  • Jon Favreau reprises his role as Happy Hogan, again unaware of Peter's identity.
  • Sadie Sink is confirmed but her role is under wraps, with speculation hinting at Black Cat.
  • Michael Mando returns as Mac Gargan/The Scorpion, a role teased by the actor on social media.

Rumored Cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Several high-profile names are rumored to join the film.

  • Charlie Cox may appear as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, with fan theories tying him to Punisher’s inclusion.
  • Sydney Sweeney is reportedly cast as Felicia Hardy/Black Cat, per scooper Daniel RPK, though no official word has come.
  • Stephen Oyoung is rumored to play Mister Negative, a character he voiced in Insomniac’s Spider-Man game, and has expressed interest in portraying on-screen.

As Marvel continues to shape Spider-Man’s future in the MCU, Brand New Day promises a fresh slate of characters and storylines—both familiar and brand new.
