According to ComicBook.com, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be unlike any Spider-Man film we've seen before — with confirmation that four of its villains have never been adapted to live-action. That's four blank slates, four chances to define characters for an entirely new generation of moviegoers, and four casting conversations that are just getting started.
Why This Is a Fancaster's Dream
Most superhero films arrive with at least one villain fans have seen before — a familiar face in a familiar role. Brand New Day is doing something genuinely rare: committing to fresh territory. Characters like Mac Gargan (best known as the Scorpion), the Lizard in a new iteration, and other deep-cut Spider-Man rogues are finally getting their live-action moment. That means no legacy casting to work around, no previous performances casting a shadow, and no ceiling on imagination. For fancasters, this is the equivalent of an open audition — and the myCast community is already throwing names into the ring.
The film also appears to be assembling a sprawling roster beyond just the villains, with roles ranging from familiar allies like MJ and Ned to wildcard additions like Frank Castle and Bruce Banner. The sheer scope of the cast list makes Brand New Day one of the most exciting fancasting playgrounds in recent Marvel memory.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community has wasted no time building out their dream versions of the film. Across three separate fan-cast stories for Brand New Day alone, the picks are fascinatingly diverse — and the debate is wide open.
In the most comprehensive story, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans are largely rallying around the familiar: Tom Holland as Peter B. Parker, Zendaya as MJ, and Vincent D'Onofrio reprising Wilson Fisk — all logical continuations of what the MCU has already established. But the villain slots? That's where things get interesting and, frankly, wide open.
Over in a second story, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans are pitching a noticeably different energy. is the pick for Peter Parker here — a bold swing that suggests some fans want a fresh face entirely rather than a Holland continuation. Meanwhile, has been floated for Mac Gargan, one of those four never-before-live-action villains. Boneta has the physicality and the menace for a character like the Scorpion, and it's the kind of outside-the-box pick that makes fancasting genuinely fun. A third story, , throws into the mix as the Lizard — an absolutely electric idea that would bring serious dramatic weight to what's typically been a CGI-heavy, underwritten role.
