Punisher vs. Spidey? Jon Bernthal signs on for Spider-Man: Brand New Day

THR reports that Jon Bernthal is set to join Tom Holland in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as The Punisher. I can’t say I saw that coming. Not much is known about the upcoming sequel, but there have certainly been plenty of rumours, including a possible appearance from Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk.

The report also states that Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will reprise their roles as MJ and Ned, although it’s unclear how significant their roles will be. Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) joined the cast earlier this year, but her role is shrouded in mystery. The Bear‘s Liza Colón-Zayas is also part of the cast.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton is set to helm Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film will shoot in England this summer and is already slated for a July 31, 2026 release.
