There are many reasons to be hyped for the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. For starters, it continues the story from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Home trilogy, which has been one of the franchise’s greatest successes in its history, but it is also including a number of amazing characters whom fans have been wanting to see in a wall-crawler blockbuster for years – including Jon Bernthal‘s Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher and Mark Ruffalo‘s Bruce Banner a.k.a. Hulk (not to mention that we’re evidently going to finally see Michael Mando’s Mac Gargan become Scorpion). Exciting as all of that is, however, this latest casting addition might be the most fascinating yet.
Deadline is reporting that another villain has been added to the ensemble in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and not only is it a character that audiences have never seen in live-action before, but it is a casting move that has an intriguing connection to the Spider-Verse films. The trade is reporting that Marvin Jones III, known to many as the rapper Krondon, has signed on to play Lonnie Lincoln a.k.a. Tombstone, which is a character that he voiced in Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse.
More to come…
