The Spider-Man 4castcontinues to grow, with a new report revealing that two major characters will be joining Tom Holland in the upcoming MCU film.

Who is joining Spider-Man 4’s cast?

According to a new report from THR, Mark Ruffalo and Michael Mando will both be appearing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Ruffalo will be reprising his longtime MCU role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, while Mando will be reprising his role as Mac Gargan, also known as The Scorpion, a classic Spider-Man villain.

Mando briefly appeared in the very first Spider-Man MCU movie, 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. Mando’s Gargan was captured by Spider-Man toward the end of the film, and then appeared in the film’s post-credits scene, where he interacts with Adrian Toomes/Vulture (Micheal Keaton) about Toomes potentially knowing Spider-Man’s real identity.

As for Ruffalo, we haven’t seen his character in a Marvel Studios film since 2021’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, where he appeared in a mid-credits scene alongside Brie Larson’s Carol Danvers and Benedict Wong’s Wong to discuss the rings that Xu Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) found. Prior to that, The Hulk also appeared in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, and was also in the Disney+ series She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.

While little is known about the upcoming film, THR’s report notes that it’s a safe bet that the film will feature the trio of Spider-Man, The Hulk, and The Punisher all fighting “before figuring out who the real bad guys are.”

The pair of actors join an already star-studded cast, that includes new cast members Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), with Jon Bernthal also set to make his movie debut as Frank Castle/Punisher. The latter recently played the anti-hero again in Daredevil: Born Again Season 1. The movie is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, and Avi Arad.
