Spider-Man: Brand New Day Rumor Claims How Hulk Will Fit Into Peter Parker’s New Story, And It’s Leaving Me With A Big She-Hulk Frustration

by

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man films, it has become customary to team up Tom Holland’s Peter Parker with prominent characters who don’t typically interact closely with Spider-Man. For the 2026 movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, we have a double treat in store as both Jon Bernthal is returning as The Punisher (Frank Castle) and Mark Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. There’s talk about how Ruffalo’s character might feature in the upcoming Marvel movie, but it’s intriguing information that also creates a sense of frustration due to ties with the television series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

How Spider-Man: Brand New Day Is Allegedly Using Hulk

As a movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share that in the upcoming “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” Bruce Banner seems to be at his wit’s end. The storylines from “She-Hulk” and “Captain America: Brave New World” (both available for streaming with a Disney+ subscription) have made him face his deepest fear – the realization that others can now transform into Hulks too. So, when we meet Banner in “Brand New Day,” he’ll likely be pretty stressed out, and I have a feeling this might shake up his calm demeanor as Smart Hulk.

As a devoted Marvel enthusiast, I must admit my intrigue when it comes to the choice of exploring Mark Ruffalo’s character within the realm of Spider-Man rather than another project. The thoughts of Alex Perez hint that the storylines in Spider-Man: Brand New Day are more geared towards preparing Ruffalo’s role in Avengers: Doomsday, leaving behind any hope for a new Hulk movie, such as the long-anticipated World War Hulk. However, it’s not this revelation alone that leaves me feeling a bit disheartened; instead, I find myself more concerned about the diminishing prospects of witnessing the epic battle of World War Hulk unfold on the big screen.

Why This Rumored Hulk Information Is Frustrating

As a die-hard movie fan, I can’t help but get excited by the whispers from Cosmic Circus about the next Spider-Man flick. If these leaks are true, we’re in for a treat seeing Bruce Banner dealing with others who can Hulk out, including his age-old adversary Thunderbolt Ross transforming into Red Hulk. This could potentially lead Banner to return to his classic Hulk persona, which might imply that Brand New Day is even more detached from street-level stories than some had speculated. However, it’s not this development that has me troubled.

Three years have passed since the release of “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” yet there’s no update on Bruce Banner’s son Skaar, who was introduced in the show’s finale. Bruce found Skaar on the planet Sakaar, which was featured in “Thor: Ragnarok.” However, we remain uninformed about Skaar’s origins within the MCU, his current whereabouts on Earth, or if he will reappear. This is just one of several unresolved plot points from the beginning of The Multiverse Saga, and I find it frustrating that “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” won’t address it.

Speaking of which, I’m really excited about the upcoming Spiderman film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Notably, Sadie Sink from Stranger Things is joining the cast in an unspecified role, and we can expect Michael Mando’s character to transform into The Scorpion. Mark your calendars for July 31, 2026, when this 38th Marvel Cinematic Universe film will hit theaters.
