Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk Returns for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY, Michael Mando Also Joins

The article argues that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is perfectly set up to adapt the controversial "Brand New Day" comic storyline for the next Spider-Man trilogy. The foundation for this was laid at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, when Doctor Strange cast a spell making the entire world forget who Peter Parker is. This mirrors the comic's premise, where Spider-Man's identity is magically erased from everyone's memory.

This new status quo creates several key opportunities:

• Return of Scorpion: It provides the perfect chance to bring back Michael Mando's Mac Gargan (Scorpion) from Spider-Man: Homecoming. Since his original goal was to find out Spider-Man's identity, this reset allows his story and vendetta against the hero to be fully explored.
• An Unexpected Role for the Hulk: The article speculates that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk could play a part. In the "Brand New Day" comics, the villain Mister Negative cures Eddie Brock (Venom). The article suggests the MCU could use Bruce Banner's scientific expertise with gamma radiation to play a similar role, perhaps in relation to Scorpion or other villains.
• A Fresh Start: Overall, adapting "Brand New Day" would allow the MCU to give Tom Holland's Spider-Man a clean slate. It can re-introduce classic villains in new ways (like Mister Negative) and create a more grounded, street-level hero who is truly on his own.
