Confirmed Core Cast
These actors are confirmed to reprise their roles, though the context of their memory of Peter Parker remains a major plot point:
- Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man
- Zendaya as Michelle Jones-Watson (MJ)
- Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds
The Shocking New MCU Crossovers and Rumored Additions
The most exciting news involves the confirmed and heavily rumored inclusion of characters from the Netflix Marvel series and other MCU properties, suggesting a major consolidation of Marvel's street-level heroes. This integration is a huge development for the franchise's topical authority.
- Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle / The Punisher (Confirmed) - His inclusion suggests a much darker, more violent tone for Peter's next adventure, potentially positioning him as an anti-hero mentor or a direct threat to Spider-Man's code.
- Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner / Hulk (Confirmed) - The presence of an Avenger confirms the film's continued connection to the wider MCU, though his role is currently unknown.
- Charlie Cox as Matt Murdock / Daredevil (Heavily Rumored) - Following his cameo in *No Way Home*, Daredevil is expected to play a significant role, likely as Peter's legal counsel or a fellow street-level vigilante.
- Vincent D'Onofrio as Wilson Fisk / Kingpin (Heavily Rumored) - The potential for Kingpin to be the film's main antagonist would solidify the "street-level" direction, pitting Spider-Man against a powerful crime boss instead of a multiverse threat.
- Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova / Black Widow (Rumored) - Her appearance would link the film to the ongoing narrative of the "Young Avengers" and the post-Blip MCU.
- J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson (Rumored) - The return of the Daily Bugle's editor-in-chief is a constant source of comic relief and media antagonism for Spider-Man.
- Sadie Sink (Rumored) - The *Stranger Things* star is heavily rumored for an undisclosed, potentially major role, possibly as a new love interest or a character like Black Cat or Gwen Stacy.
