Hold onto your web-shooters — if the latest rumors are true, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is swinging straight into chaos… and Hulk SMASH territory.
According to a jaw-dropping leak reportedly coming out of Disney’s hush-hush Blockbuster Consumer Products presentation, the upcoming Spider-Man film may feature a surprising — and incredibly destructive — antagonist: Savage Hulk.
Yes, you read that right. Not Professor Hulk. Not Smart Hulk. Not even Grey Hulk. We’re talking raw, primal, raging green monster Hulk, in his most dangerous, uncontrollable form. And if the whispers are true, he’s not joining the Avengers this time — he’s breaking bad.
Villain Lineup Leak: Spidey vs a Sinister New Squad?
While the title Brand New Day evokes a hopeful rebirth, the rumored villain roster is anything but sunshine and rainbows. In addition to the shocker that Hulk may be going full beast mode against our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, insiders say the film will also feature a dangerous street-level rogues’ gallery including:
Scorpion (Mac Gargan) — Rumored to be played again by Michael Mando, returning from Spider-Man: Homecoming’s post-credits tease.
Boomerang — A cult-favorite Spider-villain with a comedic twist, possibly hinting at a darker but still irreverent tone.
Tombstone — The crime boss with unbreakable skin, adding a gritty underworld element.
Sources suggest that Savage Hulk may be manipulated or weaponized, possibly by a secret villain or through experimental tech — fueling speculation about a darker S.H.I.E.L.D. faction or even the involvement of Oscorp.
Why the Hulk, Though?
While Spider-Man and Hulk have clashed in the comics before, a full-on Hulk-as-villain storyline is new territory for the MCU. And fans are already theorizing like mad. Could this be tied to a multiversal variant? Is this the MCU’s way of adapting the “World War Hulk” storyline? Or is it a bold reimagining tied to the fallout of She-Hulk and Secret Wars?

Toy Leak = Truth?
The Disney Blockbuster Consumer Products event was reportedly intended for licensees and retail insiders — and usually previews toys, merch, and concept art far ahead of release. Leaks from the event suggest prototype action figures showing a “Rage Mode Hulk” locked in battle with Spider-Man in a torn-up NYC street scene. Other toy mockups featured Boomerang’s tricked-out explosives and a stylized Scorpion mech-suit.
While nothing has been officially confirmed by Marvel Studios or Disney, the leak has ignited speculation across Reddit, Twitter/X, and TikTok.
“A feral Hulk as a villain is something we’ve NEVER seen done on the big screen. This would be Marvel swinging for the fences,” one Redditor wrote on r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers.
Brand New Day = New Phase Tone?
With Spider-Man: No Way Home wrapping up a trilogy, Brand New Day is expected to usher in a more grounded, gritty phase for Peter Parker. Introducing street-level threats like Tombstone, paired with the apocalyptic destruction of a rampaging Hulk, might be Marvel’s way of testing new tonal ground: intimate chaos meets cinematic carnage.
For now, Marvel fans are left with more questions than answers. But if these rumors hold even a gamma-irradiated ounce of truth, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could be Marvel’s boldest film in years.
Stay tuned. Something big is coming — and it’s green.
