Spider-Man: Brand New Day is starting to take shape at last with a key bit of casting news. Destin Daniel Cretton\u2019s summer 2026 release\u2014the fourth entry in the series centered around Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man\u2014has just added Jon Bernthal\u2019s Punisher into the mix.<\/p>\n
The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> shared the news, and notes filming is set to begin this summer in England.<\/p>\n Bernthal\u2019s character addition is some of the first news fans can grasp onto, as the rest of Brand New Day hasn\u2019t shaken many plot details loose. We know Zendaya will be back as MJ, as will Jacob Batalan as Ned, but considering that mass memory wipe at the end of 2021\u2019s Spider-Man: No Way Home\u2014Peter Parker\u2019s sacrifice to preserve the fragile multiverse\u2014it\u2019s unclear how much they\u2019ll factor into the story.<\/p>\n We also don\u2019t know which villains might pop up, or how the Punisher will fit into all of this. THR suggests the character could signal No Way Home will take a more \u201cgrounded\u201d approach, but there\u2019s no telling what plans Marvel has for him or Spider-Man, for that matter. The title obviously suggests a clean slate and a new start, so anything could theoretically be possible.<\/p>\n What are your thoughts on the Punisher teaming up with Spidey? Spider-Man: Brand New Day thwips into theaters July 31, 2026.<\/p>\n Want more io9 news?
