SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Will Reportedly Feature One of the MCU’s Most Massive Practical Action Sequences

If you thought Spider-Man No Way Home was awesome, Spider-Man: Brand New Day might be swinging into even more ambitious territory, at least when it comes to practical stunt work.

According to a new update from The Cosmic Circus’ Alex Perez (via Discord), Marvel Studios is reportedly preparing "one of the MCU's biggest, if not the biggest, stunt sequences for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”

What makes this even more interesting is that it’s said to be a practical action sequence, meaning real sets, real stunts, and real explosions… at least as real as it gets in the MCU.

This massive scene is expected to take about a month to film and will be shot outdoors in a “heavily populated area”, so it’s going to be a major street battle in New York City.

The report comes after a rumor hit that Mark Ruffalo's Hulk could have co-starring role in the film, so if true, this action sequence could very well involve him.

Now, While the whole thing will be rooted in practical effects, so it’s safe to assume characters like the Hulk, could be layered in with motion capture after the fact.

Speaking about his long arc in the MCU, Ruffalo recently said: "Kevin [Feige] was like, 'What would you like to do?' And he said, 'What would you do if you had a standalone Hulk movie?' I said, 'Well, I'd like to take him from this raging maniac to kind of this integrated character.' And he's like, 'Okay. We'll do that over the course of four movies.'"

He also added: "'We'll never give you a standalone Hulk... I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that's just not going to [happen],' he said of Feige's promise to him. 'So, we'll do it over four movies, how does that sound?' As far as I know. I can talk more about it, but I've been told not to."

While there’s no official story details or who the villain will be, it’s rumored that Mister Negative will be making his live-action debut. If true, that opens up some dark and supernaturally charged territory, especially if he has the power to bring out Hulk’s savage alter egos like Joe Fixit or Maestro.

With Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton behind the camera and Homecoming and No Way Home scribes Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers back on script duty, expectations are high. The cast includes returning leads Tom Holland and Zendaya, along with newcomers Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas.

With Marvel keeping a tight lid on plot details, we’re left to speculate, but if the rumors around this action set piece is true, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could deliver one of the most intense street-level spectacles we’ve ever seen in the MCU.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
