SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY - 5 MCU Characters Who Should Be Paired Up With Tom Holland's Peter Parker

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is fast approaching, but which Marvel Cinematic Universe character will Peter Parker be paired up with in the movie? We've singled out some of the most likely possibilities...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks set to be a fresh start for Tom Holland's Peter Parker in the MCU. The hope is that we'll get the street-level adventure promised at the end of No Way Home, but with the Multiverse in play, that's far from guaranteed. 

The movie will be released between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, making it highly likely that Peter Parker's MCU return will end up being tied to whatever Doctor Doom is plotting.

Whatever happens, it's inevitable that Spidey will end up sharing the screen with a character from the wider MCU. That's thought to be part of Sony Pictures' deal with Marvel Studios (Iron Man, Nick Fury, and Doctor Strange were all part of Jon Watts' trilogy), and in this feature, we've singled out some of the most exciting and likely possibilities. 

To check them out, you just need to click on the "Next"/"View List" buttons below. 
 

5. Loki

If we're heading down the Multiversal route, then why not go all in with an appearance from Loki? If Doctor Doom's machinations "free" him from his place at the centre of the Multiverse, the God of Mischief seeking out Spider-Man could make sense. 

These two have reluctantly worked together in the comics - during JMS' Amazing Spider-Man run - and if Peter Parker is an Anchor being, then Loki seeking him out for a journey into the unknown could be a lot of fun.

Heck, we could see Loki reunite Spidey with his fellow Spider-Men and even take him to other alternate realities, like the one where Peter's daughter, Mayday, is Spider-Girl. This would also open the door to that Venom crossover we've heard so much about. 
 

4. Wolverine

This is one of those dream team-ups fans never expected would be possible on-screen. Hugh Jackman returned as Logan in last summer's Deadpool & Wolverine, donning the character's comic-accurate costume and stealing the show. 

He's expected to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, so why not take the opportunity to pair him up with the web-slinger in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? (which would be simple if the movie takes place in a Battleworld New York)

These two have a ton of history on the page, and Marvel Studios would be nuts not to take advantage of making this a reality. Not only is the possibility of them standing side-by-side a huge box office draw, but it's the best possible use of the Multiverse and has the potential to be iconic.
 

3. Thor

Thor: Love and Thunder was a complete sh*tshow. After the success of Thor: Ragnarok, filmmaker Taika Waititi was given far too much creative control with this follow-up, turning the God of Thunder into a complete goof and even dropping the ball on The Mighty Thor. 

The character is in desperate need of redemption, something even Chris Hemsworth has acknowledged in interviews. Avengers: Doomsday can start that, with Spider-Man: Brave New World exploring what would surely be a unique and fun dynamic between Thor and Spidey. 

The Thor Corps may come into play, but what if Peter were to seek out this Avenger's help for taking on a threat like Venom or Knull? Honestly, we just want to see the web-slinger riding Mjolnir through the sky again, just like he did in Avengers: Endgame
 

2. Doctor Doom

When Spider-Man entered the MCU, Marvel Studios wasted no time pairing him up with its most popular superhero, Iron Man. Robert Downey Jr.'s Spider-Man: Homecoming screentime was fairly limited, but trailers made it look like the two characters would receive equal billing! 

If Doctor Doom emerges from Avengers: Doomsday as the Multiverse's "saviour," we see no reason why he couldn't task Spider-Man with a mission somewhere on Battleworld (Peter trusting Victor because of his similarity to Tony has real storytelling potential). 

Throwing the Fantastic Four into the mix wouldn't be a bad thing, particularly if it leads to Spidey and the Human Torch heading into action together. Either way, we'd be shocked if Doom doesn't appear if Spider-Man: Brand New Day is ultimately revealed as a Multiverse story. 
 

1. Daredevil

hx-Ley-UVVDd9-BNv-U9jz7-CYw-Oeh-OD-copy

This is what we all want, right? Thanks to 2023's Hollywood strikes and Daredevil: Born Again's creative overhaul, we no longer think it's possible for a full-blown team-up that sees Spider-Man and the Man Without Fear heading into battle together to fight The Kingpin.

In fact, with season 2 set to be released next March, Matt Murdock's war with Mayor Wilson Fisk - and New York being under martial law - may have been and gone by the time Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters. 

That's no reason not to make this happen, though. Spider-Man and Daredevil crossing paths, even if it's just for a quick fight with some crooks and a chat on a rooftop, is a must. Just look at how great Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man's Daredevil cameo was.

Depending on what the storyline is and if it's another Multiverse storyline set between Doomsday & Secret Wars, I think America Chavez works best. Since she can open Multiversal rifts, It makes sense for her to aid Spider-Man through various universes prior to them colliding in Incursions. And America helping Spider-Man sets him up to be the leader of the Young Avengers in Secret Wars.

@SonOfAGif - Story wise it makes sense, but Sony wants popular MCU characters in their films so I doubt it happens for that reason.
SonOfAGif
SonOfAGif - 4/25/2025, 10:07 PM
@mountainman - Honestly the biggest selling point will be Peter obtaining the Black Suit. So if they need a maguffin like America Chavez to do so they will.

If it's multiversal in any way Nicholas Hammond should be number 1 on that list. But he's not really a character.

Iceman and Firestar come on marvel !!!

So... We've had team-ups with Iron Man, Nick Fury and Doctor Strange in these movies...

I vote for a Fantastic Four team-up or maybe just Human Torch or Thing.

@MaximusTheMad - teaming up Spider-Man with Human Torch is a no-brainer. Same with teaming him up with Daredevil. Hope the former actually happens in a Fantastic Four sequel/Future Foundation movie though

bkmeijer1 - 4/25/2025, 2:17 AM
Great list. For Brand New Day I hope it's actually no one for a change. No Way Home finally set him up as being alone, so he should be that for atleast one movie imo.

solskulldeath - 4/25/2025, 11:26 AM
Nah, Spider-Man should fight together with Daredevil/Punisher against Kingpin while Scorpio and Agent Venom attack the city, that's quite enough to make Kingpin's head go crazy.

Besides DD , I honestly wouldn’t want anyone from this list but then again I also want to be a street level adventure rather then multiversal so we’ll see about that.

Also regardless of MCU heroes being in these films being part of the Marvel-Sony deal or not , I also think it worked narratively in the Watts trilogy as all those characters mentioned above were mentor figures to him that helped him along his path in this universe as he came of age or moreso into his own as a person & hero…

However now , I think it would be ideal to leave that aside and just focus on Spidey on his own and show why he’s arguably the greatest hero of all time.

how about marvel try to do a Spider-man movie about spider-man.

Daredevil would be the best team up with and a DP cameo would be funny.

I’d rather see Hughe Jackman Wolverine interact with Toby Maguire’s Spiderman.

No Loki, No Thor, No Doom. They're way to big for Spidey. Maybe Luke Cage, DD, IF... make Spidey street level again. That's where he thrives.

He can paired up, with other kidfriendfriendly heroes. No Daredevil and Wolverine.

But they need to go back to the drawing board and reboot them correctly into the MCU. The need to learn from this massive abomination...

"which Marvel Cinematic Universe character will Peter Parker be paired up with in the movie?"

How about "no one?" What if we just had a straight up Spider-Man movie? I think that'd be okay.

I’ll give you DD and that’s it. The rest I’m not seeing being worthwhile. I’d like to see Wolvie with Cap, circa 1942.
