Tramell Tillman Joins ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The Emmy-nominated actor will be part of the ensemble for the latest Spidey outing, but his character, like much of the movie, remains under wraps.

Filming is already under way for ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’, the latest web-slinging adventure for Tom Holland’s Peter Parker.

But the movie is not done adding cast members, as Variety has learned that ‘Severance’ actor Tramell Tillman is now aboard.

Not Yet RatedAdventure Action Science Fiction

Release Date: Jul 31, 2026

Starring: Tom Holland, Sadie Sink, Liza Colón-Zayas

In keeping with much of the other new casting (more on that below), we don’t yet know what role Tillman will be playing –– whether it’ll be a Marvel character, someone new, or the usual MCU spin on someone from the comics.

What’s the story of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’?

Given that ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ changed things in a huge way for Holland’s Peter–– as you’ll likely recall, it ended with a spell that wiped everyone’s memory of him so as to protect the people he loves –– the storyline going forward is naturally something of a mystery.

We do at least know that Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who contributed to or wrote the previous three Spider-outings, are back on board for this one.

And 'Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' director Destin Daniel Cretton is calling the shots for this one.

Who else will appear in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’?

Even with Peter's changed situation, the likes of MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) are still likely to return.

Yet with ‘Stranger Things’Sadie Sink’s casting earlier this year, that throws an interesting wrinkle in –– what if the plan is for MJ and Ned to have smaller roles while a new supporting cast rises to importance in Peter’s life?

Sink’s role being kept under wraps, and the studio will look to have it that way as long as possible.

Elsewhere, ‘The Bear’s Liza Colón-Zayas has also scored a role in the movie, but her character is also a mystery for now.

Jon Bernthal will be showing up as Frank Castle/The Punisher, after most recently being seen in 'Daredevil: Born Again'.

Mark Ruffalo is back as the Hulk –– we’d guess in his Smart Hulk persona, which blends Bruce Banner with the Big Green Guy.

Finally, Michael Mando, the ‘Better Call Saul’ actor who cropped up in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ as Mac Gargan, the civilian version of Spidey villain Scorpion is also back, so he’ll presumably be causing problems.
