It’s a new day, which means a new photo from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has surfaced online. Filming on the MCU‘s fourth Spider-Man movie is currently underway in the Scottish city of Glasgow, where the streets are doubling for New York. As soon as cameras started rolling, images and videos from the production started to circulate on social media. Several leaks offered glimpses of Tom Holland‘s titular webslinger in action, while another, more recent, snap teased Sadie Sink’s mysterious character. The latest shot, however, is particularly significant because it confirms the hotly anticipated return of an OG Avenger.
The photo arrives courtesy of @UnBoxPHD on X/Twitter, who labeled it an “exclusive” straight from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where none other than Mark Ruffalo appears to be hanging out. The actor is pictured wearing a green coat with the hood up, while surrounded by several crew members, but there is no denying that it is the MCU veteran. The image serves as confirmation that Ruffalo is reprising his role as Bruce Banner in the Marvel tentpole, which is releasing next year as part of Phase Six of the MCU. Up to now, he has played it coy about his involvement. He told ETOnline just last month that he was “still waiting to hear” what was happening and claimed that he hadn’t read a script yet, but he was excited over the prospect:
“If it does happen, it would be [Laughs] incredible. I grew up with this, and it’s changed my life in the best ways. Each time, it’s a new director, a new world, and it’s so exciting. There’s nothing else like it. A TV show doesn’t change its world from one director to the next, and that’s what is exciting.”
