As part of the ongoing agreement between Sony and Disney that allows for Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man solo films to be set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios has to “lend” one of their characters to Sony for each film. Thus, Iron Man, Nick Fury and Maria Hill, and Doctor Strange were able to appear in the first Spider-Man Trilogy. With production on the fourth installment in franchise set to begin this summer, recent rumors and reports have started to roll out regularly and now one claims to have revealed which long-time MCU star will join Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
According to a report from Nexus Point News, Mark Ruffalo‘s Bruce Banner is set to co-star in Spider-Man Brand: New Day.
Obviously, one of the things to like bear in mind with Marvel is that there is, your film is a small cog in a large machine, and that machine has got to keep running, and you need to make sure that you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture.

Last seen in the D+ streaming series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Ruffalo’s Banner returned from a trip to Sakaar with his son, Skaar. NPN’s report claims Banner will have a “substantial role” in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is in line with the stars on loan from Marvel in prior Spidey installments. This report calls to mind a rumor from earlier this year that suggested the film would feature Spider-Man teaming up with Frank Castle to take on the Hulk.
While no details about Banner’s role in the film we’re shared, the site speculates that he could serve as a science mentor to Holland‘s Parker. Given Banner was working in a lab on his own private Mexican island in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, thats hardly a stretch. With filming set for late July, expect further casting news to begin rolling out soon.
