A world without the memory of the webslinger does not mean he would not invite enemies. Spider-Man: Brand New Day could potentially feature multiple supervillains for Peter Parker to tackle, as they start his chaotic misadventures afresh. Marvel Studios is developing a unique collection of villains that will transform Spidey’s universe, challenging him in ways that audiences could not have imagined.

Prepare to experience a rogues’ gallery like never seen before in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day aims to break a record for the number of villains in a superhero movie by featuring at least ten antagonists drawn from Marvel comics lore. The confirmed cast includes Scorpion, who will be portrayed by Michael Mando, and Tombstone, who will add a violent danger element to the story. 

The classic enemies will create disorder throughout New York City, while rumors stemming from Daniel RPK's scoop has it that an expanded enemy roster could come to their assistance. The story will reportedly include additional villains who will create various challenges for Spidey, including Boomerang, Tarantula, Shathra, Ramrod, The Hand, and 8-Ball, adding various shades of evil to the picture from mercenary tricksters to crime syndicates that operate in the shadows.

Other Marvel leaks also reveal a larger cast, which will include the lesser-known sect, The Enforcers and Jackal, along with other street criminals. They suggest that even minor villains will contribute to the extensive battle that will take place in the story. 

According to scooper Daniel RPK, the movie also features the Tough Guys (Montana, Fancy Dan, and Ox) and the Chameleon, as their concept art was spotted on set. Inclusion of these characters further deepens the on-screen webslinger's Marvel comics relevance and amplifies anticipation.

Marvel introducing several new characters to expand Peter Parker's universe will further strengthen his comics root. 

Brand New Day will celebrate a wide selection of classic Spider-Man villains, such as Scorpion, also known as Mac Gargan, who made his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man #19 (1964) as a scientist turned supervillain after gaining enhanced powers through a J. Jonah Jameson-funded experiment. He has superhuman strength, agility, and a mechanical tail. 

Tombstone (Lonnie Lincoln) presents himself as a crime leader who possesses both superhuman strength and exceptional physical resilience, which he uses to battle against Spider-Man and Daredevil. Tombstone made his on-screen debut in 2018 with Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Boomerang (Fred Myers) started his career as a baseball pitcher who became a mercenary after acquiring specialized throwing weapons and later turned into a villain. Tarantula operates as a mercenary who possesses combat abilities and poisonous weaponry, presenting a street-level danger, while Ramrod operates as a half-cyborg fighter and has heavy combat skills.

Meanwhile, Shathra is the Spider-Wasp who feeds off her offspring and can manipulate superhumans. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will open in theaters on July 31, 2026, unleashing a dark roster of villainous pack spanning multiple decades of comic book history.
