SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY's Main Villain Has Yet To Be Revealed; Costume Unit Photos Leak Online

According to a new rumor doing the rounds, the main villain of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has yet to be revealed. We also have some leaked photos from the costume unit...

Though Spidey is expected to throw down with The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the movie will reportedly feature a number of villains - and it seems the film's big bad has not been mentioned in any previous rumors.

Michael Mando's Scorpion has been confirmed to appear, and we have heard that Tombstone, Tarantula, Boomerang, and Ramrod will also be on hand to cause problems for the wall-crawler. However, Daniel Richtman believes that the movie's primary antagonist has yet to be disclosed.

"I can now tell you that the main villain of Spider-Man Brand New Day is NONE of the villains that we heard about. And it's not Mister Negative," writes the scooper.

As you might expect, this has ignited plenty of speculation online, and a lot of fans are hoping that Brand New Day will introduce a new take on Norman Osborn, aka the Green Goblin. While this would certainly be a very popular choice, there are obviously numerous other possibilities. Spidey has an extensive roster of foes, after all.

In addition, some photos from the set's costume unit have leaked online. There's nothing terribly exciting here, but we do get a look at some comic book panels director Destin Daniel Cretton is likely drawing inspiration from. A closer look at the production schedule also reveals that a Spider-Man vs. Scorpion fight montage scene is set to be filmed soon.

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

Unlike the previous films, Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home, Brand New Day is the name of a specific arc from the comics, and focuses on Peter Parker attempting to rebuild his life following the events of the status quo-altering One More Day and Civil War.

Brand New Day 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.

“I’m spending my time exploring the next stage of this amazing character with a team of the most incredible artists in the world," said director Destin Daniel Cretton during CinemaCon. "We’re all, just daily, nerding out over the suit, how to swing, how to create an event, an emotional story, and a ride that we haven’t really seen before"

Holland did not appear in Las Vegas for the Sony presentation, but did send the following video message.

"I am so sorry I can’t be with you. I am halfway around the world shooting a movie. I know we left you with a massive cliffhanger at the end of No Way Home, so Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say."

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

@AllsGood - I think this could be correct. With either Doc Ock or Green Goblin leading it, hopefully.

He’s been one of the villains I have wanted the most in the MCU for Spidey.

@MCUKnight11 - Would make sense. I mean, I'm pretty sure only Osborn got transported back to his universe. He left a lot of tech with that glider and pumpkin bombs lying around.

@Wahhvacado - Yeah. Lots of great animated series. My favourite was silver surfer tas. Not sure if anyone saw Spider-Man Unlimited but that series had access issues but they tried really hard including giving nano tech suit from Reed. My stupid brain loved it.

@MCUKnight11 - As long as it isn't Ned, or if they go there at all Ned is shown to have been under the control of the real Hobgoblin who uses the brainwashing methods on Banner too setting up the savage Hulk fight.

I'm OK if that means Ned get's killed.

That said been WAY too much brainwashing in the MCU and would be way too close to Cap4 going there with mind control and a Hulk final act battle.

Damn man they are really locking in on this one. Seems like they're making all the right moves. The only issue I see happening is the film is reported to have a lotta villains so it might be overstuffed, but maybe they're just gonna be a part of a montage in the beginning catching us up to speed kinda like F4

@DarthOmega - Maybe those villains are red shirts for the Punisher. Thats why they are so obscure.

@dragon316 - Bold, daring, exciting... Also stupid. Dude could get time for that, and he barely got any real footage. Someone on the security team is getting fired in a snap.

@Bucky74 - it needs to be Kingpin otherwise they'll completely miss the boat. Osborne's been done to death.

@Bucky74 -
They are likely going to usurp Kingpin with a female antagonist for Spider-man BND because the rights for Kingpin in movies are complicated.

Main villain is probably going to be Adriana Soria/The Queen/Spider-Queen. Mister Negative will be the supporting villain who Spider-man 'saves' while The Queen goes to prison.

Kingpin will be defeated in MCU's Daredevil Season 2 leading into Spider-man BND.

It would be something if it’s someone that’s not usually or really a Spider Man villain.

@Martianhunter - That doesn't mean they'll be there for the whole movie... It could be similar to what we saw from F4. A montage of Spider-Man fighting bad guys over the last couple of years.
Martianhunter
Martianhunter - 8/8/2025, 6:50 PM
@Malatrova15 - Are your saying villains would be main character in this movie. This is hot news
Martianhunter

@TheShellyMan - oh yeah, it could happen but it's Sony so you can't relax.

Starting to think Sadie Sink is going to play Carly Cooper. Makes sense with the Brand New Day theme.

Kingpin or Mephisto, please.

TheVisionary25 - 8/8/2025, 5:51 PM
@ptick - Mephisto doesn’t seem street level to me lol

Kingpin would be great but I think D’Onofrio’s has said there are some complicated rights issue as to why he can’t be in a Sony Spidey film.
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/8/2025, 6:10 PM
If we are getting a street level film and it’s about presumably a gang war , I wonder if this villain could be The Crime Master…

There have been multiple versions of the character but ultimately he’s goal in one of them is to take over the NYC underworld so maybe he manipulates the gang war so everyone can wipe themselves out this leaving him at the top?.

Plus he’s had cronies or made alliances in the comics thus that’s how we get the likes of Scorpion ,Boomerang ,Tarantula ,Tombstone & Ramrod in this supposedly aswell.

@TheShellyMan - It's legs are rocky to say the least. They're also floppy. And invisible. And burning. I'll be here all week.
