**Las Vegas, NV** – With filming set to begin soon for *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, buzz is building about the villains that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will face in his fourth solo outing. A new rumor suggests a trio of antagonists has been selected: Scorpion, Boomerang, and Tombstone.

The rumor originated from a now-deleted Instagram post claiming the villain lineup was revealed at a Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products presentation in Las Vegas. Adding fuel to the fire, scooper MyTimeToShineHello reports that Michael Mando is poised to reprise his role as Mac Gargan, setting him up to finally become Scorpion.

Mando, known for his role in *Better Call Saul*, previously appeared as Gargan in *Spider-Man: Homecoming*. In that film, Gargan was a criminal injured during a deal gone wrong due to Spider-Man’s intervention, leading to his imprisonment. The end-credits scene teased a potential revenge plot with other villains, but this was never followed up on in subsequent movies.

While Marvel has yet to confirm these casting and plot details, the rumor has ignited excitement among fans. Many hope to see Mando fully realize the Scorpion character, a classic Spider-Man villain who has yet to receive a complete big-screen adaptation.

*Spider-Man: Brand New Day* is slated for release on July 31, 2026. The cast currently includes Tom Holland, Sadie Sink, and Liza Colón-Zayas.
