It is worth mentioning that Scorpion and Tombstone have already made an appearance in the animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, playing the role of Kingpin's henchmen. Their mention at the event has now only shaken up the recent rumours surrounding the film, especially its characters. The official title for the upcoming Spider-Man film was revealed in April this year, with the release date now scheduled for July 31, 2026. However, details surrounding the plot or the villains that fans can expect to see have been kept under wraps. Holland has been confirmed to be returning as Peter Parker, while Sadie Sink recently joined the cast, expected to play a key character.
Spider-Man New Look
It was not just the villains that Higashi teased on his Instagram. In a now-deleted post, he seems to have accidentally unveiled the first look of the superhero costume. In the post that featured several Disney films of 2026, there was a subtle glimpse of Parker's costume, which appeared quite similar to the one he wore at the end of No Way Home; however, in darker shades.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theatres on July 31, 2026.
