Who Will Tom Holland Fight in Spider-Man: Brand New Day? All We Know About New Villains

Tom Holland will yet again don his Spider-Man suit for the fourth film of the Spider-Man franchise. Earlier, the title of the film was announced by Marvel.
After much speculation from the fans, the MCU announced that the upcoming movie will be called Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
According to the media reports, it is revealed that Holland's superhero character will fight new villains in the 2026 cinematic piece, which might also include Shang-Chi's Silver Samurai and Viper, whose mention is present in the Marvel Comic.
While there has been no confirmation yet, rumors have it that Tom Holland will also be joined by Simu Liu, who portrays Shang-Chi in the MCU.
Will Spider-Man: Brand New Day include Venom?
Apart from Silver Samurai and Viper, whose versions were previously seen in 2013's The Wolverine, the movie could also feature Venom and Knull.
According to Comic Circus' Alex Perez, who stated at the time of Venom: The Last Dance that the character is more likely to make an appearance alongside the wall-crawling Spidey.
Moreover, the fans are also expected to see Peter Parker and Bruce Banner teaming up. As for Hulk's presence in a Spider-Man film, the inside scooper, Perez, shared, "What I heard involves a connection [between Peter Parker and Bruce] dating back to the earliest days of the MCU and exploring some uncharted territory for both characters' personal histories."
With Hulk's storyline in Spider-Man, it could allegedly open Bruce Banner's way into Avengers: Doomsday.
Meanwhile, as per the reports, Spider-Man will not join the rest of the Avengers in Doomsday. The reason stated by the makers is that the timelines of the events are too close to each other.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will release in theaters on July 31, 2026, while Avengers: Doomsday will open on December 17, 2026.

Elio review: Pixar's new offering is sweet and funny but lacks spark

Pixar's latest outing, 'Elio', is a heartwarming and visually rich journey that feels both contemporary and comfortably familiar. Voiced by Yonas Kibreab, the titular Elio is a daydreaming, orphaned misfit who ends up becoming Earth's accidental ambassador in a colourful alien world. The result is a film that's sweet, funny, and family-friendly, but also one that lacks the spark of Pixar's finest by Adrian Molina with co-directors Madeline Sharafian and Domee Shi, 'Elio' is packed with warmth and wonder, but much of it stays on the surface. The film's premise revolves around an imaginative child being mistaken for someone important in an otherworldly setting. This setting leans heavily into Pixar's well-worn 'misunderstood kid meets magical world' template. It is almost like 'Inside Out' meets 'Lilo & Stitch', but without the same emotional punch or layered film begins grounded in real-world science and emotional resonance, but soon the narrative slips into chaotic territory - cloning, galactic politics, and a villainous 'Blood Emperor' (voiced by Brad Garrett) whose Marvel-like menace feels Elio's friendship with the Emperor's insecure son Glordon (Remy Edgerly) offers the film's sweetest emotional thread, it too gets a bit lost in the chaos. Zoe Saldana brings steady warmth as Elio's aunt, but many alien characters remain forgettable and overly the premise holds promise, the writing doesn't quite rise to the occasion several times. The emotional beats feel undercooked, especially when compared to the nuanced storytelling Pixar is known for. The characters or ideas are not given enough space to breath before we transition from one place to another. The film introduces layered themes like loss, loneliness, identity but often abandons them in favour of rapid-fire plot developments and quirky distractions. Glordon's arc and the potential father-son commentary get drowned in the visual noise. It's a script that feels like it's trying to juggle too many ideas, resulting in a finale that's flashier than is certainly a step up from some of Disney's recent misfires. Its retro-Disney vibes, sincere message, and humour make it engaging for kids and comforting for parents. But for those expecting a bold new Pixar frontier, this cosmic tale feels just a little too safe and is now out in theatres.3 out of 5 stars to Elio.

Be it the premium skins like Ultron X-Tron, Groot Yggroot, Scarlet Witch Immortal Sovereign, or the free skins like Golden Ultron, Mister Fantastic Future Foundation, the recent mid-season refresh has it all. However, this is not the end as Marvel Rivals has recently launched a skin for our favorite MCU superhero, Moon Knight, as well. Along with it, a skin for Iron Fist has also been released as well.

Unlike his typical appearance in MCU, the Phoenix Knight skin is quite different. Similar to the Phoenix bird, the whole outfit is themed in flame red and gold. However, this version of Moon Knight might look familiar to the OG Marvel comics fans. In 2018 Avengers #36, in an attempt to obtain all the powers in the universe by the order of Khonsu, Moon Knight acquired Mjolnir and the strength of Iron First to become the Phoenix Force. And the recently released skin reminds us of that version of Moon Knight. Now, how to get this skin? Unlike all the available free skins in Marvel Rivals , you don't need to complete any quests or watch any Twitch streams to redeem this skin. As it's a paid skin, you can directly purchase it from the Store tab in the Main Menu of the game. There you will find the Featured Tab where you should definitely find it and can buy it for 1,400 units. However, if you buy the whole Phoenix Night bundle then you will get the skin as well as an MVP Animation, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray, that too for just 200 Units more.
