Tom Holland Confirms He's Shooting More Spider-Man: Brand New Day Scenes to Add 'A Little Bit More Humor' — and to Layer in a Mystery Villain Plotline 'In a New Way'

Tom Holland has said he’s inactive shooting Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is owed retired successful conscionable a fewer months, to adhd “the icing connected the barroom successful definite areas.”

In a caller interrogation with GQ, the Marvel prima revealed that Marvel is adding much wit and is adjacent “layering in” a villain plotline “in a caller way.

Here’s the punctuation successful full:

“I tin positively accidental that the worldly we’re doing, we don’t need. The movie works and sings arsenic it is. We’re conscionable adding the icing connected the barroom successful definite areas. We’re uncovering immoderate ways to adhd a small spot much humor. We’re layering successful a villain plotline successful a caller mode and immoderate truly amusive stuff.”

The summation of much wit is straightforward to recognize (perhaps a movie with the ace superior and usually brutally convulsive Punisher, played by Jon Bernthal, needs much than a fewer laughs to compensate). But what is this “villain plotline,” and however is it being layered successful “in a caller way”?

Assuming Holland is talking astir adding an unannounced villain into the mix, who could it be? Despite the information Spider-Man: Brand New Day is retired soon, there’s inactive a batch we don’t cognize astir it. We cognize Sadie Sink, of Stranger Things fame, is successful the movie, but we don’t cognize which quality she plays. We cognize Michael Mando plays Scorpion, truthful presumably he's not who Holland is talking astir here. Could Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, confirmed to beryllium successful Brand New Day, get a astonishment Hulk-adjacent villain to battle? Or possibly Marvel and Sony got their s**t unneurotic and sorted the rights retired truthful that Daredevil's Kingpin tin yet combat Spider-Man, arsenic Vincent D'Onofrio has called for.

Or possibly this caller villain plotline has to bash with the overarching Marvel Cinematic Universe story, and what we’ll spot ties into the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, oregon possibly adjacent sets up thing further down the line.

Last month, we reported connected however fans were convinced that the caller Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer had been edited to digitally region respective hidden characters from a circumstantial scene. Clearly, there’s a batch going connected successful this movie, and there’s overmuch for fans to discover.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day launches successful theaters connected July 31, portion Avengers: Doomsday volition travel connected December 18. Not agelong now.
