SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Rumored to Bring in Shang-Chi, Silver Samurai, Viper... and the Alien Suit — GeekTyrant
Here we go again, Spider-Man: Brand New Day rumors are spreading online like a wild fire. The latest claims come from insider Alex Perez at The Cosmic Circus, who says he's he's seen concept art that show that Tom Holland's next MCU outing will pit him against Silver Samurai and Viper, with none other than Shang-Chi fighting by his side. According to Perez, these two villains, last seen teamed up in The Wolverine (2013), could be the main antagonists. '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,' he adds, implying a deeper story that brings The Hulk into play too. Now, before anyone gets too hyped, let's pump the brakes. Perez previously claimed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day would feature Venom and Knull following the release of Venom: The Last Dance , so we're definitely in 'take it with a grain of salt' territory. That said, the idea of Spider-Man clashing swords with Silver Samurai and dodging toxins from Viper in a global martial-arts-flavored showdown? Yeah, it's wild enough to be interesting. It's also worth noting that Perez believes that Brand New Day , Daredevil: Born Again , and The Punisher Special Presentation are the only MCU projects leading directly into the long-rumored Mayor Fisk storyline. If true, this could be the first major link between Peter Parker and the darker street-level world of the MCU. As for that alien costume, according to the report, Spidey's black suit will indeed appear in the movie, which instantly cranks up the speculation machine about Symbiotes, Multiverse crossovers, and all kinds of narrative mayhem. Viper aka Madame Hydra is a deadly martial artist, toxin expert, and terrorist with ties to Hydra and a long history of battling heroes like Wolverine and Captain America. Silver Samurai, meanwhile, is a mutant with a tachyon-charged blade capable of slicing through nearly anything. He's most often a Wolverine nemesis, but has been known to blur the lines between villain and anti-hero. Directed by Shang-Chi filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton, with a script from MCU vets Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Holland stars alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colón-Zayas. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

It Looks Like Marvel Studios Is Ditching Comic-Con This Year — GeekTyrant
There are dueling reports regarding what Marvel's plans are for Comic-Con this year. Heat Vision is saying, 'Marvel will break with tradition and not have its infamous, senses-shattering Saturday evening Hall H panel.' This seems crazy to me because they have so much going one right now and they'd have plenty of stuff to announce and show off. But they say, 'it didn't feel like the right [time].' It's explained that the 'company is still planing panels and events focused on its comics and games, as well as a booth that will play off of the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps , which opens in theaters on the Friday of the annual fan convention.' Before that news hit, another report from Alex Perez at The Cosmic Circus, who is pretty reliable, said Marvel Studios was planning to drop the first teaser for Avengers: Doomsday at SDCC 2025. So, I guess he didn't get that one right. Avengers: Doomsday is the next massive team-up event from the MCU and fans could get their first look at the movie during the the event's run from July 24–27. While nothing is confirmed, the idea isn't far-fetched. In a response to a fan question, Perez shared: 'I have heard Marvel will return for SDCC, but I don't expect them to make it a grand spectacle like they normally do with Phase reveals. I think that the main focus for Marvel at SDCC will be to promote their new film, Fantastic Four: The First Steps, which coincidentally drops around the same time as SDCC this year. 'I'd also expect looks at Wonder Man, Daredevil: Born Again season 2, and VisionQuest, and an additional first look, possibly maybe even a teaser of Avengers: Doomsday.' So, the focus may not be a full-blown Phase 6 rollout, but there's a good chance Doomsday sneaks in with a first look, especially since it's already been filming since April. Marvel has a history of previewing early footage for the Comic-Con crowd before the rest of us get to see it. The film, directed by Joe and Anthony Russo, who are returning after their high-stakes run with Infinity War and Endgame, is already in production and scheduled to hit theaters December 18, 2026. I was hoping that Marvel would show up to SDCC this year, they always tend to give fans a thrilling mic-drop moment. It would've been wild to see them bring out the entire cast for Doomsday, including all of the unannounced cast members! That would be insane! But, it's not looking like it's going to happen. Bummer. Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters December 18, 2026. Avengers: Secret Wars follows one year later on December 17, 2027.
