A brand new villain has been added into the mix for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Deadline reports Black Lightning star Marvin Jones III has been cast to play Tombstone in the upcoming sequel to Spider-Man: No Way Home. The character made his big-screen debut in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, but Brand New Day will mark his first live-action appearance on screen. Production on Brand New Day in Glasgow, Scotland, has been paused for a little over a week after lead star Tom Holland, who plays Spider-Man, suffered an injury on set last Friday (September 10). Directed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
