Spider-Man: Brand New Day will reportedly feature a big character from Daredevil: Born Again – but not the one Marvel fans really want to see
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will feature a major character from Daredevil: Born Again They aren't one of the two individuals that Marvel fans want to see in the movie Audiences have long clamored for a Spider-Man and Daredevil big-screen team up Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to include a major character from Daredevil: Born Again. That's according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), who claims the forthcoming movie will feature a fan favorite who's appeared in Daredevil's first TV show on Netflix and its recently released sequel on Disney+. So, who's the individual in question? Have Sony and Marvel finally answered fans' perennial prayer for a big-screen team-up between Tom Holland's webslinger and Charlie Cox's Matt Murdock? Or is Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk set to feature as Spider-Man 4's primary antagonist? Sorry to disappoint you all, but it's neither of those actors. Instead, Jon Bernthal's Frank Castle/The Punisher is the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) character who's reportedly set to turn up in Spider-Man's next solo flick. Now, a lot of people – myself included – are big fans of Bernthal and his take on Frank Castle. Nonetheless, I'm sure MCU devotees were hoping Cox or D'Onofrio was the individual who'd appear in Spider-Man 4. If THR's sources are to be believed, Brand New Day would represent the second time that Holland and Bernthal have teamed up on a project. The duo were also part of the cast for Pilgrimage, an Irish medieval film that arrived in theaters in July 2017. Nobody outside of the Marvel Phase 6 movie's chief creative team knows, but we can certainly speculate on Frank Castle's involvement. For one, his inclusion suggests that Brand New Day's plot might be more grounded than its predecessor. Indeed, 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, aka one of the best Marvel movies post-Avengers: Endgame, was a multiversal affair. If The Punisher is part of Brand New Day's growing ensemble, it would be bizarre to include him if Sony and Marvel haven't collaborated on a film with street-level story sensibilities. It's possible that he may be drafted in to help tackle one of the original Avengers who's also slated to appear, too. In late May, rumors emerged that Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/The Hulk will have a major role in Spider-Man 4. Industry insiders indicate that The Hulk will, well, Hulk out at some point in Brand New Day. If he does, Spidey could use Castle's assistance in stopping the big, mean, green machine if he goes rogue and/or starts rampaging through New York City. Castle has worn the War Machine armored suit in Marvel Comics, too, so he could make use of James 'Rhodey' Rhodes' super-suit to help tackle The Hulk. Of course, the biggest question of all concerns the level of violence Brand New Day will contain. Bernthal's Castle has only appeared in R-rated MCU projects – those being, Daredevil, Daredevil: Born Again, and The Punisher, all of which are among the best Disney+ shows around. However, the wallcrawler's next film is nailed on to be a PG-13 film (in the US, anyway) when Brand New Day releases on July 31, 2026. Given how one of Bernthal's non-negotiables was the retention of the character's hyperviolent tendencies in Born Again season 1 and other projects he's set to appear in, such as The Punisher's standalone Disney+ special and Daredevil: Born Again season 2, it'll be interesting to see how an ultraviolent character like The Punisher is utilized in a more family-friendly Marvel production. Do you think Bernthal will appear in Spider-Man 4? Is Frank Castle a good inclusion if he does? Let me know in the comments. Spider-Man 4's official title has been revealed – and it has ties to a controversial time in the Marvel hero's 80-year-plus comic book history Marvel reportedly casts Stranger Things star Sadie Sink in Spider-Man 4 Marvel leak might have revealed Spider-Man: Brand New Day villains – and there could be three of them

Our awards columnist's Emmy ballot: Read his list of dream nominees
Emmy nominations voting ends tonight at 10 p.m. PT. Still need help with your ballot? I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times and host of The Envelope newsletter. Still time to bite into a 'Jaws' doughnut and peruse my picks for this year's Emmy races. (An ordinary bagel will do.) There are more than 100 Emmy categories, and if you scrolled through each and every one of them on the Television Academy's website, you are probably one of those people who read the terms and conditions on a document before signing your name. For me, simply filling out the following 15 categories — five each for comedy, drama and limited series — left me exhausted and in need of a sweet treat. And I already finished my 'Jaws' doughnut. Maybe this cherries jubilee? Paul Giamatti would approve. Without further ado, here are my picks and a brief line of reasoning for each. And if it's predictions you're after, you can find our full BuzzMeter panel's choices here. COMEDY SERIES'Abbott Elementary''The Bear''Hacks''A Man on the Inside''Only Murders in the Building''The Rehearsal''Somebody Somewhere''The Studio' Yes, 'The Rehearsal' is a comedy. COMEDY ACTRESSQuinta Brunson, 'Abbott Elementary'Ayo Edebiri, 'The Bear'Bridget Everett, 'Somebody Somewhere'Natasha Lyonne, 'Poker Face'Jean Smart, 'Hacks' Last call on nominating Everett (and her magical series), which has won a Peabody. COMEDY ACTORTed Danson, 'A Man on the Inside'Steve Martin, 'Only Murders in the Building'Seth Rogen, 'The Studio'Martin Short, 'Only Murders in the Building'Jeremy Allen White, 'The Bear' Best Netflix comedy: 'A Man on the Inside,' anchored by Danson, still a master of light laughs. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTRESSLiza Colón-Zayas, 'The Bear'Hannah Einbinder, 'Hacks'Kathryn Hahn, 'The Studio'Linda Lavin, 'Mid-Century Modern'Jane Lynch, 'Only Murders in the Building'Catherine O'Hara, 'The Studio'Sheryl Lee Ralph, 'Abbott Elementary' Colón-Zayas won last year, probably for the episode that she submitted this year. It's weird when shows drop their new seasons in June. COMEDY SUPPORTING ACTORIke Barinholtz, 'The Studio'Colman Domingo, 'The Four Seasons'Paul Downs, 'Hacks'Harrison Ford, 'Shrinking'Ebon Moss-Bachrach, 'The Bear'Tyler James Williams, 'Abbott Elementary'Bowen Yang, 'Saturday Night Live' Thank you, Sal Saperstein! DRAMA SERIES'Andor''The Last of Us''Paradise''The Pitt''Severance''Slow Horses''The White Lotus''Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' Voting for 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light' checks a couple of boxes. DRAMA ACTRESSKathy Bates, 'Matlock'Britt Lower, 'Severance'Elisabeth Moss, 'The Handmaid's Tale'Kaitlin Olson, 'High Potential'Bella Ramsey, 'The Last of Us' Moss won this Emmy eight years ago. With the show ending, she has earned a parting gift. DRAMA ACTORSterling K. Brown, 'Paradise'Gary Oldman, 'Slow Horses'Pedro Pascal, 'The Last of Us'Adam Scott, 'Severance'Noah Wyle, 'The Pitt' 'Why don't you say whatever speech you've got rehearsed and get this over with.' Godspeed, old friend. Also: Joel's parting words should flash onscreen any time an Emmy winner goes long at the podium. DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTRESSCarrie Coon, 'The White Lotus'Taylor Dearden, 'The Pitt'Fiona Dourif, 'The Pitt'Tracy Ifeachor, 'The Pitt'Katherine LaNasa, 'The Pitt'Julianne Nicholson, 'Paradise'Parker Posey, 'The White Lotus' Women of 'The Pitt' > Women of 'The White Lotus' DRAMA SUPPORTING ACTORPatrick Ball, 'The Pitt'Gerran Howell, 'The Pitt'Jason Isaacs, 'The White Lotus'Damian Lewis, 'Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light'Jack Lowden, 'Slow Horses'Tramell Tillman, 'Severance'John Turturro, 'Severance' I don't know. Tillman might deserve the Emmy for this alone. LIMITED SERIES'Adolescence''Dope Thief''Dying for Sex''The Penguin''Say Nothing' 'Adolescence' should win everything. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTRESSKaitlyn Dever, 'Apple Cider Vinegar'Cristin Milioti, 'The Penguin'Lola Petticrew, 'Say Nothing'Michelle Williams, 'Dying for Sex'Renée Zellweger, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy' OK, maybe not everything, as 'Adolescence' doesn't have a submission here. Zellweger probably won't win because comic acting rarely does, even though it most definitely should. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE ACTORColin Farrell, 'The Penguin'Stephen Graham, 'Adolescence'Brian Tyree Henry, 'Dope Thief'Kevin Kline, 'Disclaimer'Cooper Koch, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story' Farrell has already won so many awards for 'The Penguin,' it feels like either A) he must have won the Emmy too or B) he hasn't, and good God, let somebody else have a prize. (Like Graham.) LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTRESSErin Doherty, 'Adolescence'Ruth Negga, 'Presumed Innocent'Deirde O'Connell, 'The Penguin'Imogen Faith Reid, 'Good American Family'Jenny Slate, 'Dying for Sex'Christine Tremarco, 'Adolescence' Doherty will likely win for the series' third episode, the taut two-hander with Owen Cooper. But the fourth episode is just as good — maybe even better — featuring a heart-rending turn from Tremarco as the mom trying to hold it together. LIMITED SERIES/MOVIE SUPPORTING ACTORJavier Bardem, 'Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story'Owen Cooper, 'Adolescence'Rob Delaney, 'Dying for Sex'Rhenzy Feliz, 'The Penguin'Hugh Grant, 'Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy'Ashley Walters, 'Adolescence' Cooper will soon become the fifth teen actor to win a Primetime Emmy.
