After years of perhaps the most wide-ranging rumors and speculation to which any Marvel Studios film has been subjected, production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day has gotten underway in Glasgow, Scotland with principal photography set to begin soon. A recent look at a set under construction in Glasgow revealed that the film will be set, at least in part, between Spider-Man: No Way Home and Avengers: Doomsday despite rumors that it was set to take place during the events of Avengers: Doomsday. Now, another peek behind the scenes of the production may have confirmed a pair of villains who have previously been reported to be attached to the film.
Destin is doing an amazing job right now on that movie, which starts shooting very soon. And he’s got eight or nine comic covers up on his wall in his art department that he is bringing to life in this movie, which is super cool.

After Marvel Studios Head Honcho Kevin Feige recently told reporters that director Destin Daniel Cretton was using comic book covers as inspiration for his art department, Cretton’s assistant, Ziyi Cao, shared a post on Instagram that potentially revealed two of those covers. Should those covers truly be among those referenced by Feige and not an effort to be intentionally misleading, they may well confirm that Tarantula and Boomerang, both of whom were previously said to be in the film, will indeed appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Following the Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products presentation in May, journalist Chris Higashi reported the Boomerang and Tarantula, along with Tombstone and Scorpion,would appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Interestingly, Higashi also reported that Mark Ruffalo was set to appear as the Savage Hulk in the project, something that while not officially confirmed has since been backed up by several social media insiders.
With cameras rolling soon, it’s possible, though not certain, that additional members of the film’s cast will begin to either be seen on location or revealed through the trades, shedding light on whether or not these characters are indeed in the film.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will feature Jon Bernthal‘s The Punisher, is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
