Jon Bernthal returning as The Punisher in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Hollywood star Jon Bernthal will reprise his fan-favourite Marvel character of The Punisher in Tom Holland-led "Spider-Man 4". The actor, known for featuring in movies such as "The Wolf of Wall Street", "Sicario", "The Accountant", "Baby Driver", "Ford v Ferrari" and "The Many Saints of Newark", will feature alongside Holland, who is reprising his character of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man, which he played in several MCU movies. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are also returning as MJ and Ned in the fourth chapter, which is officially titled "Spider-Man: Brand New Day", according to entertainment news outlet The Hollywood Reporter. The story takes place after the events of the previous movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021), in which the entire world knew Peter Parker was Spider-Man and then had that knowledge erased. Destin Daniel Cretton is directing the feature, which will shoot in England this summer. The movie will be released in the US theatres on July 31, 2026. Bernthal first took on the role of Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, in 2016, debuting in the second season of Netflix's "Daredevil" and owing to his popularity, he was rewarded with his own solo series. The two shows and many other Marvel-centric projects were cancelled by Netflix in 2019. He made a return with the character in Marvel Studios' most recent series "Daredevil: Born Again".

Spider Man meets Punisher: Bernthal joins Holland in Marvel 'Brand New Day'
In a move that's already sending shockwaves through the Marvel fandom, Jon Bernthal is officially returning as the Punisher — and this time, he's joining forces with Tom Holland's Spider??'Man in the upcoming MCU film Spider??'Man: Brand New Day. The gritty antihero's entry into Peter Parker's world marks a major tonal shift for the beloved franchise, promising a darker, high-stakes chapter in the web-slinger's journey. Fans can expect intense clashes, uneasy alliances, and the return of Bernthal's raw, hard-hitting take on Frank Castle. Bernthal's return as Frank Castle comes after his breakout portrayal of the Punisher in Netflix's Daredevil and his own spin-off series, where he won praise for his intense, emotionally complex performance. Now, his crossover into the main Marvel Cinematic Universe signals a bold narrative shift for Spider??'Man, who is rumoured to face morally grey dilemmas and street-level threats unlike anything seen in his previous solo outings. The film is expected to explore darker themes, setting the stage for one of Peter Parker's most challenging arcs yet. Brand New Day plot: A darker twist on a classic arc While Marvel remains tight-lipped about the storyline, Spider??'Man: Brand New Day is said to draw inspiration from the controversial comic arc of the same name, which explored the consequences of Peter Parker's secret identity being exposed. With Frank Castle now in the mix, the film is expected to explore a world where justice isn't always black and white — forcing Peter to question not only his role as a hero but what it means to stand for something in a world without clear lines. Following the events of No Way Home, which left Peter Parker isolated and forgotten, Brand New Day will reportedly delve into his psychological fallout. Stripped of support and trust, he now operates in the shadows — a lone figure in a city spiralling into chaos. Enter the Punisher: a symbol of vengeance whose brutal methods could either break Peter or push him to evolve. A clash of ideologies: Spidey vs the Punisher The heart of Brand New Day is expected to be driven by the ideological tension between Spider??'Man and the Punisher. While Peter believes in redemption and moral restraint, Castle is infamous for his violent, no-compromise approach. Their uneasy alliance is likely to test both men's limits, echoing comic book arcs where they often clashed as much as they collaborated. This dynamic opens the door for gritty storytelling rooted in real-world consequences — the kind of grounded, character-driven narrative Marvel fans have been craving since the Netflix Defenders era. With organised crime on the rise and the city's moral compass in flux, Spidey and Castle may find themselves fighting the same enemies — but on opposite terms. When can fans expect the film? Spider??'Man: Brand New Day is set to begin filming this summer in England, with Destin Daniel Cretton — known for directing Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings — at the helm. The film is slated for a theatrical release on July 31, 2026, marking a new era for Tom Holland's Spider??'Man. With a fresh creative voice, the return of Jon Bernthal's Punisher, and a storyline leaning into darker, more grounded themes, the stage is set for one of the most daring and emotionally charged Spider??'Man films yet.

Spider-Man 4 filming to take over Glasgow this summer
Now Scotland's largest city is set to welcome yet another major film production this summer, our sister title The Herald can exclusively reveal. Production crews will take over the city centre to shoot scenes for the next instalment in the Spider-Man franchise. Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will see Tom Holland reprise his role as Spider-Man. Slated for a July 2026, the long-anticipated movie will be helmed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton, with reports suggesting that Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink has been cast opposite Holland. Plot details remain under wraps, but long-time Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal, while appearing on Deadline's Behind the Lens podcast in December last year, teased what we can expect from the story. She said: 'We have to deal with the fact that he decided he was going to give up being Peter Parker [in No Way Home], and that he was going to focus on being Spider-Man because being Peter Parker was too hard.' The most recent Spider-Man film, 2021's No Way Home, was a huge box office success, grossing $1.9bn worldwide - making it the sixth highest-grossing movie in history. Tom Holland revealed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will begin filming in the summer of 2025 during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in October 2024. Now The Herald can reveal that production crews are set to descend on Glasgow to shoot scenes for the forthcoming blockbuster in mid-August. Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed approximately $1.9 billion globally Filming notification engagement letters for the production - which has the working title 'Blue Oasis' - went out to residents in Glasgow city centre earlier this week. The letters note that production crews are "working towards" filming on Bothwell Street, St Vincent Street, Waterloo Street and Oak Street through Richmond Street. According to the letters, some of the scenes being shot will "involve vehicles in the road, with production crews anticipating that Bothwell Street will be closed to vehicles (between Pitt Street and Hope Street) for approximately one week to accommodate filming. The news that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be shooting in Glasgow this summer comes as Scotland's biggest city gears up to play host to another bid-budget Hollywood production. The Herald understands that filming for JJ Abrams' next movie is set to take over Glasgow City Chambers and nearby Cochrane Street over a number of days next week. Glasgow has become something of a Hollywood hotbed in recent years (Image: NQ/Colin Mearns) The still-untitled feature - Abrams' first since 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - brings together an all-star cast, with Samuel L. Jackson tapped to play a key role alongside Glen Powell (Twisters/Top Gun: Maverick), Jenna Ortega (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice) and Emma Mackey (Sex Education/Barbie). Reports suggest it will be a fantasy film inspired by the 1984 movie The Last Starfighter, a space opera about a video game player recruited to fight an interstellar war against aliens. Hollywood star Glen Powell was recently in Glasgow to shoot Edgar Wright's reboot of 1987 action flick The Running Man. A number of sites in the city were used to emulate the streets of New York, with filming taking place across the city centre, the West End and the SEC Armadillo. A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: 'While we cannot comment on individual productions, the council's Glasgow Film Office is in constant dialogue with film, broadcast and advertising productions of all sizes who are interested in filming in the city to establish how we can support them. "These productions bring a significant economic benefit to Glasgow, and have helped to steadily grow the capacity of our film and broadcast sector in recent years, as seen in new facilities such as the Kelvin Hall studio.'
