Every Villain Confirmed For Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Tom Holland's Peter Parker swings back into action with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and he's got a host of new villains to fight, as well as one familiar face. So far in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man has fought Vulture, Shocker, Thanos, Mysterio, Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman, the Lizard, and Doc Ock.

But Brand New Day is the start of a fresh era for Spider-Man, and that means a host of new foes. While the movie could bring the web-slinger up against Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Punisher (Jon Bernthal), the MCU characters won't be traditional villains for the story. The same could be said of Sadie Sink's mysterious character.

As fun as Spider-Man fighting Hulk, Punisher, or other Marvel heroes may be, the MCU is also utilizing his incredible rogue's gallery to give him some street-level antagonists. There could be many more at the end of the day, but these are the Spider-Man: Brand New Day villains confirmed to appear in some capacity.

Scorpion

Brand New Day is finally paying off a villain tease nine years in the making by including Scorpion. Spider-Man: Homecoming introduced Mac Gargan (Michael Mando) as a criminal looking to buy some of Vulture's Chitauri-infused tech. He was ultimately arrested and shown in prison asking Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes about Spider-Man's identity.

Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have yet to announce Mando's return officially, but the actor was spotted on set during filming. The villain has also since been featured on early marketing materials for the film, which is how Scorpion's Brand New Day costume was revealed.

His quest for revenge against Peter Parker will continue in Brand New Day. The exact nature of Scorpion's role in the movie is not confirmed, but it's expected that he'll get out of prison somehow and finally get his rematch with Spider-Man. This time, he'll have his Scorpion supervillain suit, too, allowing him to be stronger and unleash some damage on Peter with his giant, robotic stinger.

Tombstone

The MCU is finally giving one of Spider-Man's biggest street-level villains his live-action debut, as Tombstone is entering the mix with Brand New Day. The giant albino crime boss is a recurring foe for Spidey in the comics. He was previously in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

That is relevant for Brand New Day, as Marvel and Sony elected to keep the same actor around between animation and live-action. Marvin "Krondon" Jones III is confirmed to be returning as Tombstone in Brand New Day. He is, obviously, a different version of the street villain, but the two variants are still loosely connected through the Marvel multiverse.

There's no current information on Tombstone's role in the movie, though. His presence does suggest how the new installment will showcase more of Peter's battles with various New York criminals. With his increased strength and smarts, he'll be a dangerous foe for Spider-Man.

Boomerang

Another Spider-Man villain getting his debut in Brand New Day is Boomerang, also known as Fred Myers. He has a long history of battling Spidey and other Marvel heroes, like Daredevil. The villain, who is incredibly skilled at throwing specialized boomerangs (as his name would suggest), is also prone to joining supervillain teams like the Sinister Syndicate and the Sinister Six, but he's also worked with Peter at times.

Boomerang's involvement in Brand New Day was officially confirmed through promo materials for the material that show the character with an incredibly comic-accurate suit. There's currently no known actor attached to the role, nor is it clear exactly how he factors into the plot. Boomerang could be a secondary villain with his own motives or someone working for Tombstone or Scorpion.

Tarantula

Brand New Day's villain list also includes Tarantula. The spider-themed supervillain mantle has been around for decades in the comics, and many different people have operated under the guise. It's not clear exactly which version of the character Marvel has opted to bring into the picture for this Peter Parker story.

The reveal of Tarantula's involvement in Brand New Day stems from the same artwork that showed Scorpion and Boomerang, alongside Spider-Man and Hulk. The male character is seen in a red and black suit, which is traditional for those using this mantle. But no actor has been revealed for this part so far.

It's most likely that Marvel is using the Anton Miguel Rodriguez or Luis Alvarez versions of the character, as they were the first and second people to don the title. Both were highly skilled fighters, so whichever version of Tarantula is in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he will be a challenging opponent for the hero.
