Liza Colón-Zayas Cast In Mystery Role For 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'

We are still a long ways away from seeing what awaits the MCU's version of Spider-Man following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. While there are many unconfirmed rumors on what we can expect, we have gotten some information on who will be cast in the fourth installment to the highly successful Marvel franchise.




According to Deadline, Emmy winner Liza Colón-Zayas has been cast to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day.




Her role remains a mystery, but we're low-key hoping that The Bear's star actress will have some kind of connection to a certain Black and Puerto Rican superhero who's become quite popular in the Marvel universe as a friendly neighborhood web slinger himself.




Still, this is just wishful thinking at this point, but regardless, Colón-Zayas is already joining a star-studded cast that has taken the Spider-Man franchise to a whole new level.




Deadline reports:




The Emmy winner joins an ensemble led by Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker and his superheroic alter ego, with Stranger Things' Sadie Sink also on board in a mystery role. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, who respectively play Peter's love interest MJ and close friend Ned, are expected to return.




Destin Daniel Cretton will direct, with Amy Pascal producing alongside Marvel president Kevin Feige, when production kicks off later this year. Pic is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026.




Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release two months after Avengers: Doomsday. According to numerous rumors, Brand New Day will take place after the events of Doomsday and will place Spidey in a post-Doomsday reality where worlds have collided and characters from numerous Marvel films find themselves in the same space and time.




That being said, rumors have circulated that this may mean that Tom Holland's Spidey will finally get to meet Tom Hardy's Venom. Other rumors have Steven Yeun being cast as Mr. Negative as the primary villain for Brand New Day, and as much as we love Yeun, that wouldn't be too exciting for hardcore Spider-Man fans who'd rather see another classic villain make their film screen debut. Hobogoblin maybe? A better iteration of Carnage? A new Venom who's actually a villain and not an anti-hero?
