Mark Ruffalo Joins Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

A new set video from the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day has confirmed that Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner, also known as the Hulk, alongside Tom Holland in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This development marks another intersection of iconic characters within the franchise, following previous collaborations between Avengers and Spider-Man films.

Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently taking place in the UK. In the recently released footage, shared by UnBoxPHD on social media, Ruffalo appears to be lying on a gurney, sparking discussions about his character’s potential arc in the film. This appearance comes exactly 15 years after he first portrayed the Hulk in The Avengers and follows his last appearance at the conclusion of the 2022 Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, where he revealed he has a son named Skaar.

According to recent reports, rumors suggest that the Hulk may undergo a significant transformation in this movie. The character could evolve into the Savage Hulk, notorious for his aggressive and uncontrollable nature. This transformation is expected to be triggered by emotional turmoil stemming from the presence of both She-Hulk and Red Hulk in the storyline.

Returning and New Faces

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will see Tom Holland return as Peter Parker. Alongside him, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are expected to reprise their roles from previous installments.

The film will also introduce new cast members, including Sadie Sink from Stranger Things and Liza Colón-Zayas from The Bear, while Jon Bernthal will return as Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher. The screenplay is written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, with production led by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, Avi Arad, and Louis D’Esposito.

Fans can anticipate seeing Spider-Man: Brand New Day in theaters on July 31, 2026. As production progresses, excitement builds for how the film will weave together the narratives of beloved characters within the MCU.
