For a guy no one can remember a whole lot of people sure do want to hang out with Peter Parker. Jon Bernthal’s Punisher won’t be the only famous superhero teaming up with him in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. OG Avenger Mark Ruffalo will also get in on the webbed fun next summer. But while he’s likely to provide some big backup for our favorite neighborhood, another newly revealed co-star is guaranteed to cause Spidey trouble. Better Call Saul‘s Michael Mando is finally returning to the MCU as Scorpion. It will mark only his second appearance after he made his debut in a Spider-Man: Homecoming end-credits scene in 2017. Here’s what we know about Hulk and Scorpion’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day adventures.
Hulk smash. Hulk also join Spider-Man: Brand New Day. That’s according to a new report in The Hollywood Reporter. It’s not surprising to learn we’ll see a famous Avenger in a Spider-Man movie. But we won’t fault anyone who gave up on ever seeing Michael Mando’s Scorpion in the MCU again. His first and only appearance as Mac Gargan in the franchise came during an ominous end-credits scene in Tom Holland’s first film as Peter Parker, Spider-Man: Homecoming. That moment in jail between him and Michael Keaton’s Vulture was one of many MCU end-credits scenes that seemed destined to be lost to time. Now it will finally get a payoff, the kind only true MCU sickos (like us) were always holding out hope for.
Details about Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s plot remain unknown, so we don’t know how big a role Mando’s Scorpion or Ruffalo’s Hulk will play in the movie. But we certainly hope Scorpion gets way more than just a single scene. Fans of Better Call Saul know just how good the 44-year-old actor is. And while we love seeing Spider-Man work with other heroes, his rogues’ gallery provides way more fun.
And even if none of his enemies in Earth-616 know who he is, they know they don’t like him. That’s all we need for a great Spider-Man movie. Hulk, Spider-Man, and Scorpion will all hit our screens when Spider-Man: Brand New Day releases on July 31, 2026.
