Mark Ruffalo Returning as the Hulk for ‘Spider-Man 4’ – Hollywood Reporter
But wait, that’s not all.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has found a smashing star to join Tom Holland in the Sony/Marvel movie sequel.
Mark Ruffalo is returning to reprise the role of Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, in the feature, which comes 14 years after the actor joined the MCU in The Avengers. The move had been rumored for a while but only firmed up as the script came together and as production gears up for beginning this month in England.
At the same time, Michael Mando, known for his work on Better Call Saul, is returning to reprise the role of the Scorpion, the villain character whom he first played in Spider-Man: Homecoming, the 2017 feature that kicked off the Holland-centric Spider-Man movies.
Holland’s Spider-Man films have always paired him with a more seasoned actor, such as Robert Downey Jr. (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Samuel L. Jackson (Spider-Man: Far From Home) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Spider-Man: No Way Home), playing key characters Iron Man, Nick Fury and Doctor Strange, respectively. (The movies invoke the tone of classic Marvel comic Marvel Team-Up, a series from the 1970s and 1980s that featured Spider-Man partnering with another hero for an escapade.)
Brand New Day, however, is stacking the deck. Jon Bernthal is also on the call sheet to reprise his role of the vigilante known as the Punisher. It’s the character’s first big-screen appearance in the MCU and first movie appearance in general since 2008 action movie Punisher: War Zone, in which the late Ray Stevenson played the role.
The plot details are being kept under the vest, but you can bet that, in the mighty Marvel manner, Spider-Man, Punisher and Hulk will all fight one another before figuring out who the real bad guys are.

Thunderbolts, da new team for great natio – back in your box Alexei, is a smart film. It’s a lot better than the last Cap movie and the New Avengerz could really take off.
It’s also a good demonstration of what the MCU should be doing on TV series and films. The film gives enough info about Walker regardless of watching the Falcon and Winter Soldier series.
The addition of Bob aka Sentry aka Void, combined with the film’s focus on mental health is a good one. The fractured personalities of him also, in part, reflect the cultural messages to him. That he has to be better, faster, stronger, more violent.
One oddity is the throwaway inclusion of Taskmaster, not sure what the idea there was. Overall the concept of these broken characters finding ways to recover together is well-executed.
The epilogues are good too, with the post-credits scene setting up both the team’s wider relationships and the FF movie.

The writer said that in the script Taskmaster is around for the entire movie.

Of CA: BNW, Thunderbolts, and FF: FS, Thunderbolts was my favorite. Was it one of the best MCU films? Probably not, but I simply had fun with it. I had a good time. Of the three, it’s the only one I would watch again.

They should never have gone with this as their tagline.

Tom Holland has suffered a concussion after an accident on the set of the new Spidey movie.
A bit concerning. Good job it wasn’t anything worse.

That actually looks really good.
I finished Agatha All Along at some point, by the way. The last episodes actually had some interesting twists and made more sense of some stuff that’d been happening that seemed a bit dumb. But overall, the quality of the show was all over the place, and it’s not exactly required viewing.

Details on other Marvel shows: https://www.marvel.com/articles/tv-shows/marvel-television-animation-new-york-comic-con-2025-panel-recap
VisionQuest
Bettany treated fans to exclusive first footage from the show, revealing Henry Lewis as D.U.M.-E, Jonathan Sayer as U, James D’Arcy as J.A.R.V.I.S., Orla Brady as F.R.I.D.A.Y., Emily Hampshire as E.D.I.T.H., Ruaridh Mollica as Thomas Shepherd, and the return of James Spader as Ultron.
“What’s different about Vision right now is that Red Vision gave Vision all of his memories, including the memories from within the Hex. But White Vision is having real difficulty connecting to them,” explained Bettany. “White Vision’s journey during the show is about his attempt to connect to those memories and who he was… but with lasers!”
Interesting that they apparently couldn’t get Kerry Condon as live-action F.R.I.D.A.Y., so just cast a different Irish woman.

Hollywood Star, 54, Accused of Vile ‘ICE’ Threat Against Female Moviemaker, 37 – Daily Beast
Jeremy Renner’s filmmaking partner has accused the Marvel actor of threatening to “call ICE” on her after she confronted him about alleged misconduct.
Chinese filmmaker Yi Zhou, 37, who told the Daily Mail she was dating Renner, 54, last month, also accused him of sending “unsolicited pornographic images of himself” in a series of Instagram posts Monday.
Zhou, who made a documentary and an animated movie with Renner this year, claimed the “Hawkeye” actor had introduced himself over direct message and WhatsApp with the “unwanted” photos in June 2025.
She said they then began a romantic relationship, and she “invited” him to be part of her two films.
Zhou provided the Daily Mail with a screenshot of her alleged WhatsApp texts with Renner, including a short porn video clip Renner allegedly texted her in June.
The filmmaker told the Mail that Renner became so “angry” after getting drunk during a meeting about the documentary, Chronicles Of Disney, at his home in Reno, Nevada, that she feared for her life.
…More in link, w/ texts, etc…

Jesus Christ.
Looking at her insta posts, there’s a few things about the way she tells it that are a bit weird – like how she goes on about the vileness of sending nude pics unsolicited, but this was the start of their relationship… and I don’t think she included him quite as selflessly into her film projects as she implies.
At the same time, there does seem to be a pattern of abuse in Renner’s relationships, and it seems like there’s more women about to come out of the woodwork. Not to mention, I mean, I didn’t even know about this bit here:
Renner was previously married to Sonni Pacheco, with whom he shares joint custody of their 12-year-old daughter, Ava.
In 2019, Pacheco accused the actor in court filings of substance abuse, threatening to kill her and firing a gun with their daughter present.
At the time, Renner denied Pacheco’s allegations against him, labeling them as “nonsense.”
So yeah, I think he’s done. Shame to survive such a lethal accident only to self-destruct a bit later.

What, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck is going on with Chris Evans’ face there? I can see why people thought this was AI, if it in fact isn’t.
Here’s a picture from this year.

Oh my God, Chris Evans is coming back to Marvel! He hasn’t been in an MCU film since… last year?
