‘Spider-Man 4’ Confirms Return of Fan-Favorite MCU Hero and Villain
Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek’s network of contributors
Just days after it was announced that “Spider-Man 4,” aka “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” was bringing Jon Bernthal in as the Punisher. The new Tom Holland-led film is officially bringing back a fan-favorite MCU hero and villain.

Per a report from The Hollywood Reporter, it is confirmed that the new “Spider-Man” sequel will bring back Mark Ruffalo as The Hulk. That isn’t the only addition, as Michael Mando will also return to the fold to portray Scorpion.
It will be interesting how the plot is set up, considering Spider-Man asked Doctor Strange to make everyone forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. This includes MJ, Ned, and presumably the rest of the heroes left in the MCU.

It would be believed that Spider-Man might have a run-in with Dr. Bruce Banner, and would hopefully not have to fight The Hulk in the process.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” was the last film that Holland appeared in as the Web Slinger and was easily the most brazen. Not only did Doctor Strange make an important appearance and memory wipe, but the comic-loving world got to see the return of Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Alfred Molina as Doctor Octopus, but Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield reprised their roles as Peter Parker as well.
Marvel has waited a long time to start putting together the next chapter in the Holland-led universe, and it is believed that this may be the final one. Holland has spoken publicly about his desire to move away from the role entirely.
There have been plenty of rumors regarding Marvel potentially moving on to feature Miles Morales in the role of Spider-Man, but recent reports indicated that MCU leader Kevin Feige has instructed everyone to not touch Morales until the “Spider-Verse” movies wrap up.
Morales has become a mainstay and fan-favorite fixture in comics as Spider-Man, becoming even more popular due to the Sony video games that feature him in a prominent role, and the previously mentioned “Spider-Verse” animated films.
It would be great to see him emerge in live-action, but that is likely not to happen for a few years.
Whatever the case may be, Marvel has hit home runs with the current Spider-Man films, and the same should be expected from the fourth entry that features Holland.
“Spider-Man 4” is due out on July 31, 2026.
