Having covered the world of entertainment journalism since 2010, including superhero/comic book media, Andy's career includes having worked for sites such FanSided, KSiteTV, TV Fanatic, It's Just Movies, Heroic Hollywood, TV Overmind, and more. Outside of writing, Andy is the host of The Showrunner Whisperer, The Flash Podcast, the editor-in-chief of Multiverse of Color, and the network director of DC TV Podcasts.

2026 is becoming the biggest year ever for a very famous Spider-Man villain.

The original post had him announcing that "I collaborated with @primevideomx and @ccxp_mx for these Spider-Noir badge illustrations from the live action show 💥💥 I’ll be a guest artist at this year's show so I’m looking forward to seeing these in person, see you there from April 24 to 26th!"

It's believed that the original poster with Tombstone is meant to be based on Abraham Popoola, who joined the Spider-Noir cast in a mystery role. However, Prime Video and Sony have yet to confirm if that is Popoola.

Regardless of who is playing him, the series officially beats the MCU timeline to it by two months, as Tombstone is also confirmed to make his Marvel Studios debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, played by Marvin Jones III. The actor has also voiced the Spidey foe in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Lonnie Lincoln, a.k.a. Tombstone, is also currently serving a large role in Marvel Studios' Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man animated TV show, where he is voiced by Eugene Byrd. Season 2 will premiere sometime in 2026 on Disney+.

While he is part of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast, Spider-Noir will be focusing on the web-crawler in the 1930s. This will allow both properties to explore unique versions of Tombstone in a short timespan between the two releases.

It has also been confirmed that Nicolas Cage's Spider-Man won't be Peter Parker, but rather a new take on Ben Reilly, which lets audience members see Tombstone clash with two different web-slingers. It also remains to be seen if either version of the comic book antagonist will appear after their 2026 projects, whether that is Spider-Man 5 or Spider-Noir season 2.

Spider-Noir debuts on MGM+ in the United States on May 25, while Prime Video will launch the series on May 27 for the rest of the world, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31.
