SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY "Symbiosis" Set Photo Ignites Venom Speculation - Possible SPOILERS

A new photo spotted on the Glasgow set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has ignited (or reignited) speculation that the Venom Symbiote might make an appearance...

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now wrapped filming in Glasgow, Scotland, with production believed to be moving to London next, where we might just catch our first glimpse of Sadie Sink on set.

We've seen numerous photos of Spidey (Tom Holland) in action, as well as some mysterious logos which may or may not wind up being relevant to the plot. Now, another poster has been spotted which has ignited speculation that Venom, or another Symbiote, could make an appearance.

The poster simply highlights the word "Symbiosis," with the dictionary definition underneath.

Possible spoilers ahead.

While it's just as likely that this poster is an Easter Egg for fans and won't actually have any bearing on what we'll see in the movie, Michael Mando has previously dropped a couple of hints that his character, Mac Gargan/The Scorpion, will become "Venomized" in Brand New Day. Though we don't have any evidence for this, there are also theories that The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) bonding with the Symbiote is what ultimately turns him "Savage" and send him on a rampage.

Again, the poster may not mean much at all, but it's worth keeping in mind that Venom was rumored to be a part of the movie for quite a while before Castle and Banner were confirmed, so it's entirely possible that some of those early ideas were carried over to the finished script.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will also star Liza Colón-Zayas in an undisclosed role. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will reprise their respective roles as MJ and Ned Leeds, but are not expected to feature prominently.

The Brand New Day comic storyline features a number of new characters such as Carlie Cooper and Lily Hollister, aka the supervillain Menace, which has led to speculation that Sink may have been cast in one of these roles.

"It's day one — my fourth-ever day one on Spider-Man," Holland said in the recently-released BTS video. "You know, it's funny. Putting the suit on, it feels different this time, somehow. It's also the first time we've ever had fans on set for day one, so it's really exciting to share this with them. We've got some familiar faces on set. You know, Im just going to do my best, hopefully get it right. No pressure."

Spider-Man 4 was recently pushed back a week from July 24, 2026 to July 31, 2026.

Interesting…

I have a feeling this doesn’t have anything to do with the film but it is peculiar given one of , if not Spidey’s most popular story involves a symbiote & thus that concept as a whole.

Honestly in regards to Gargan , I would prefer if he becomes Scorpion but if not then I think Mando could really kill it as the MCU Venom too.

Hell if you want , you could even not go with the alien origin and go more Ultimate with it with the “Symbiote” being a suit created by Peter & Eddie’s fathers in that to help encase & augment the wearer as a means to cure diseases & illnesses but gets turned into a potential tool for super soldiers hence how Gargan could come across it here…

He may even be stealing that tbh in the chase sequence we have seen thus far

@TheVisionary25 - I wouldn't mind them going with that symbiote story. It's different from any other version we saw in popular media so far, so that way it would set itself apart.

@TheVisionary25 - It’d be craaaazy if they were adapting this story and Sadie is playing a gender swapped Eddie. Unlikely but man that’d be a heckuva curve ball.

It could be an easter egg poster, but maybe it's just a random street poster?

I would love to see a Marvel DC crossover movie where the Joker gets the Carnage symbiote.

maybe Sony should've tried putting Spiderman in any of those Spiderman movies that flopped over the past few years.

As long as it isn’t Tom Hardy’s iteration/continuity. Those movies just got worse and worse.

Honestly, as much as I want to see a proper Venom in the MCU, squeezing him in with Hulk, Punisher and a bunch of other new additions feels like a lot.

I miss the days of classic storytelling when a Spider-Man movie revolved around Spider-Man, featuring Spider-Man, with the main focus being Spider-Man.

Not to say team ups aren’t super cool and very interesting, but if you have to jam a bunch of other characters in order to draw eyes it kinda weakens the main character.

I feel like team ups movies should be their own thing, not sequels to a main franchise.
