Mark Ruffalo's Hulk confirmed for Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Mark Ruffalo will join Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 57-year-old actor will reprise his role as Bruce Banner, aka The Hulk, in the upcoming sequel alongside Holland as Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man.

Michael Mando will also return to his role as the Scorpion, the villain from 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, along with Jon Bernthal as the vigilante, the Punisher.

Holland, 29, recently revealed how excited he is to return to the Spider-Man universe, after COVID-19 restrictions made shooting difficult on the third movie, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home.

He told Flip Your Wig: “I think we were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID. We shot the entire film on stages. Now we’re really going to lean into that old school filmmaking and shoot in real locations.

“We are going to use the streets of Glasgow for this massive set piece that we are putting together.”

Holland added that playing Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter-ego is like “like hanging out with an old pal” and filming the fourth movie is “going to feel like making [2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming] again”.

He added: “It’s been such a long time that I’ve done it that it’s going to feel like a breath of fresh air. I think the fans are going to be over the moon with what we’re putting together.”

Zendaya will also be returning as MJ in Spider-Man 4, along with Jacob Batalon as Peter Parker’s best friend Ned.

Sadie Sink has joined the cast, but her character has not been revealed.

On Sunday morning (Aug 3), Marvel and Sony gave fans a first look at the new suit that will be worn by Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
