He worked with Destin on his other movies but not Shang-Chi.

The fact that he’s Destin Daniel Crettin‘s go-to cinematographer and they have worked together before, and judging by the examples of what they might be going for with the look of this film with that moodboard, I think this film is gonna have some pretty great cinematography. I looked up some shots of their previous efforts and they’ve done some great work. I remember when watching Just Mercy a few years back during Covid really liking the way it was shot.

I hope this also means he’s going to bring Joel P. West on with him, too. His score for Shang Chi was great. If they’re going to go in a whole different direction for this new Spider-Man trilogy, might as well go all in.

Tom Holland: “We’re just about to start [filming] Spider-Man 4.” (June 28, 2025)

So I guess Savage Hulk is the villain?

So I guess Savage Hulk is the villain?

If there’s a Hulk fight again, Hulk could be just infected by the symbiote (left at the end of No Way Home) or Mr. Negative’s influence or something like that and it’s just a small part of the movie…retreading Thor Ragnarok. And Age of Ultron. And whatever I’m forgetting. Blah.

The leaked casting call had at least one female villain for the movie.

Past and present Spider-Man 4 casting call from gossip hound DanielRPK:

“New Female Lead - A sharp and free-spirited woman with a mysterious past. Strong-willed, intelligent, and not easily intimidated. SET Sadie Sink

Female Villain - 30s-50s, any ethnicity. A powerful and imposing figure. Seeking an actress with strong and commanding screen presence and depth. Negotiation with someone (doesn't say who)

New Male Role - A resourceful young man in his early 20s.

New Male Role - 30s-50s, any ethnicity. A no-nonsense authority figure who sees the world in black and white. Loyal...

I think its going to be Mister Negative, with him controlling Hulk for a scene.

 

[psylockolussus]

I don't want to see Hulk in this.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

I don't want to see Hulk in this.

We definitely agree on that. Spider-Man has the best original rogues gallery* alongside characters like Batman so it’s a bit of a waste to spend any attention on a fight that’s already been done before in a Thor movie.

* which both Sony with their stupid ass exclusive Sony universe movies and Marvel Studios with their wider universe tie-in obsessions have been undermining for years

I am definitely not a fan of the constant +1 Avenger in Spider-Man movies.

There’s less than a month to SDCC. Hopefully Sony has something to say there since Marvel apparently won’t.

After the world has forgotten his name, Peter Parker begins a new chapter in his life - balancing college classes, part-time work, and his responsibility as New York's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. But when a mysterious force begins to unravel the city from the inside out, Peter finds himself caught between powerful enemies, old legacies, and unexpected allies. As shadows from the past creep into his present, he must redefine what it truly means to be a hero - on his own.

New Synopsis Revealed for Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day

New plot details for Marvel's Spider-Man: Brand New Day have been revealed by IMDb. The film follows Peter Parker as he starts a new life after the world forgets his identity — but a mysterious threat forces him to face his past and redefine what it means to be a hero.

maxblizz.com

IMDb is user edited, though TV Guide and MyCast.io are also now using this synopsis. So warning it could be all made up/AI-generated. There’s no proper nouns other than Peter Parker/Spider-Man and New York. I haven’t seen a Sony or Marvel press release and there’s no YouTube video where they sometimes put these synopses.

I feel like we should already know who the new characters are.

Sony is skipping SDCC this year according to Google search.

 

[Davos]

I was actually looking forward to see Spider-Man without Ned/MJ in a Spider-Man movie, and for Spider-Man to meet characters we haven't seen in a MCU Spider-Man movie.

I don't particularly find those two interesting, so meh!

In fairness, we don't need Ned back. MJ on the other hand...

While I'm fine with Hulk being in the film an being one a several antagonists , I love Spiderman's Rogue's gallery.

Green Goblin/ Norman Osborn is one of my personal favorite CB villains in general , let alone in Marvel .

Norman Osborn is such a complex and interesting character, so , I can understand why the films and other adaptations have revisited the Osborn family so many times since the 90s animated series.

The 90s Animated cartoon really got me hooked on the character, in addition a collect of Green Goblin comic stories in the book I bought in the late 90s ,called
Spider-Man vs Green Goblin.

So, I was happy when Dafoe was cast in the role 25 years ago .

I got into Spider-Man by reading DeFalco's run (issue #276) and then backtracked to Roger Stern, so obviously the Hobgoblin has a special place in my heart. I love his design too and would love to see a mystery Hobgoblin story-arc play out on the big screen over a series of films.

 

[psylockolussus]

Hobgoblin/Harry Osborne are just been there, done that for me. And we already got Green Goblin in the last film, so I prefer to see someone else without Goblin under their name.

 

[Spider-Fan]

I'd be fine doing a Hobgoblin movie. Probably once we get Scorpion on screen, Hobgoblin is probably biggest villain left unused (assuming we count Kraven)

Not opposed to that. Should be overall positive. That being said, I was excited when Eternals used practical sets.
