The Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast just keeps getting bigger! The latest rumor suggests that a male villain is being eyed to join the roster of the upcoming film.
With production on Spider-Man: Brand New Day just around the corner, the cast for the film is just now starting to be finalized. Which doesn’t just mean new names officially joining the cast, but an absolute field day at the rumor mill as scoopers push out any supposed casting call that hits their ear. One that caught a lot of traction recently suggested that the villain of the film was supposed to be an “imposing” woman in her 30s-50s.
Now it seems she’s not the only villain being cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. A new rumor from insider DanielRPK suggests that the film is looking to add a male villain in their 30s-50s. Unlike the other rumor, there’s no word on what this villain might be like, suggesting that any details could threaten to reveal their identity before production even picks up.
Who Is The Villain In Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
Every prior rumor has had fans looking into the direction of Norman Osborn as the main villain of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Given the character is to be cast alongside a female villain of the same age, it’s possible that the MCU will be changing the origin of the Green Goblin to have his wife, Emily Osborn, turn heel prior to her husband, potentially leading to Norman’s downfall.
Otherwise, Spider-Man lore is chocked full of males to be the villain of a film. Out of the big names that haven’t already been cast, Chameleon, Tombstone, Shocker, and Mister Negative all stand as the most likely candidates to join Spider-Man: Brand New Day. However, it’s also possible that the villain could be one fans don’t see coming. Which only means one thing…Big Wheel confirmed!
