Big news in the world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Mark Ruffalo’s The Hulk is reportedly set to return for next year’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
According to a The Hollywood Reporter story both Sony and Marvel declined to comment on, Ruffalo will reprise his role as Bruce Banner for the hotly anticipated 2026 superhero sequel.
Meanwhile, Michael Mando will reportedly reprise his role as supervillain Mac Gargan, aka, the Scorpion, in Brand New Day.
The Scorpion was last seen in 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, the first Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland in the title role.
Ruffalo last played The Hulk in 2022 Disney+ show She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, a follow-up to which seems unlikely at this point.
Ruffalo was not among the many names confirmed to appear in Avengers: Doomsday, although Marvel has indicated more announcements on that front are to come, so perhaps The Hulk will appear in the film in some form.
With production about to kick off, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is starting to take shape.
Today, August 1, Sony released the debut teaser for the film, but all it did was show Spider-Man's new suit up close — and only for eight seconds.
