Spider-Man will not only be joined by The Hulk, but will also face the return of a villain fans have been waiting to see since 2017.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton ( Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) Chris McKenna Erik Sommers Spider-Man: Brand New Day Zendaya Jacob Batalon Sadie Sink and Liza Colon-Zayas have joined the cast in undisclosed parts

Destin Daniel Cretton ( Shang-Chi) is directing the film, which just started filming this week and is aimed at a July 31, 2026, release date. That’s a tight turnaround for a movie of this size, but it’s similar to what Marvel Studios did with Fantastic Four last year.
