Scorpion is now officially a part of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Actor Michael Mando, who played the iconic villain in Spider-Man: Homecoming, has confirmed his return in the new film of the franchise.
The news comes after days of speculation around Scorpion's comeback. The villain was previously seen in Homecoming in 2017, in which he was captured by Spider-Man and locked in a prison.
Marvel has been sharing new updates about Spider-Man: Brand New Day over the past few days, which have left the audience excited. Apart from Michael, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo are also reprising their roles are The Punisher and Hulk, respectively, in the film.
Michael Mando confirms his return as Scorpion in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
On August 3, 2025, Michael Mando shared a picture on Instagram, confirming his appearance as Scorpion in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Posting a black and white mirror selfie, the actor wrote the caption, ‘st!ng’, referring to Scorpion, and followed it up with the hashtag ‘spiderman.’ Audiences flooded the comment section of the post as they shared their excitement about the villain’s return.
Scorpion, whose real name is MacDonald "Mac" Gargan, was a professional criminal in Spider-Man: Homecoming. He was trying to procure alien technology from Adrian Toomes for his criminal motives, but his plan was ruined by Spider-Man, who captured him. The FBI eventually arrested him and put him in jail. Now, all these years later, it seems like Scorpion is ready for revenge.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day recently began filming, with the makers sharing a glimpse of the superhero’s new suit, which seems to be a perfect blend of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spidey costumes. While the plot details have been kept under wraps, on-set photos and videos are circulating online that showcase Tom Holland getting ready for some action-packed scenes in his Spider-Man suit.
Brand New Day will follow up on the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where the world forgot about Peter Parker’s existence after Doctor Strange’s magical spell. Tom Holland is returning as the titular character for his fourth film as the lead. Other actors from the franchise who are coming back include Zendaya as Michelle "MJ" Jones-Watson and Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds.
