With the upcoming release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31 starring Tom Holland, and the recent drop of the live-action Spider-Noir series on Prime Video, the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand. The article covers the stacked casts of both projects, the success of Spider-Noir on streaming charts, and includes a promotional quiz to determine which MCU hero matches your personality.
Before the Avengers return in Doomsday this December, Tom Holland is ready to swing back to global screens with Spider-Man : Brand New Day. Scheduled for release on July 31, with just over two months to wait until Peter Parker tackles a world that has forgotten him, Brand New Day is sure to be a major hit at the box office, especially thanks to its stacked cast.
Those starring alongside Holland include Zendaya and Jacob Batalon's MJ and Ned, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Michael Mando as Scorpion, Marvin Jones III as Tombstone, and Sadie Sink in an as-yet-unknown role that many believe to be Jean Grey. If you can't wait for your next dose of mainline MCU Spider-Man, Prime Video has just dropped a new Spidey series that is proving to be the perfect way to fill the time.
A live-action series serving as a spin-off to the animated Spider-Verse films , Spider-Noir stars the Oscar-winning Nicolas Cage as he reprises his role of Ben Reilly. Developed by Oren Uziel for MGM+ and Prime Video, the series also boasts the executive producing duo of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who have already had a wonderful year courtesy of their smash hit sci-fi masterpiece Project Hail Mary.
The series also features Lamorne Morris, Li Jun Li, Karen Rodriguez, Abraham Popoola, Jack Huston, and Brendan Gleeson in its stacked cast. All eight episodes of Spider-Noir, from"Step Into My Office" to"The Man in the Mask," dropped on Prime Video this week, and the series is, unsurprisingly, already a major hit.
At the time of writing, Spider-Noir has debuted at #2 in the Prime Video top ten in the U.S., missing out on the top spot thanks to the global phenomenon Off Campus. Spider-Noir has hit the top spot in several countries around the world, including Mexico, Poland, and Thailand.

One destiny. Answer 10 questions to discover which Marvel Cinematic Universe hero shares your personality, values, and fighting spirit. Will you swing, fly, or thunder your way to glory? 🕷️Spider-Man 😈Daredevil 🤖Iron Man 💀Punisher ⚡Thor 🛡️Cap FIND YOUR HERO → QUESTION 1 / 10MOTIVATION 01 What drives you to do what's right?
Choose the answer that feels most like you. AWith great power comes great responsibility — I protect those who can't protect themselves. BMy faith and my conscience — I believe justice must be served, even in the dark. CLegacy and ego, honestly — but I've learned that others depend on me now.
DThe system failed. Someone has to make sure the guilty actually pay. EDuty to the innocent and honour to my name — I was born to protect realms. FThe values I was raised with — freedom, decency, and never backing down from a bully.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 2 / 10YOUR CITY 02 It's 2 AM. Where are you? Your answer says more about you than you'd think. ASwinging between skyscrapers, keeping an eye on the neighbourhood.
BRunning rooftops in Hell's Kitchen, listening for trouble. CIn my lab, upgrading my suit with a cold cup of coffee nearby. DStaking out a target I've been tracking for three weeks. ESomewhere between the stars, or at a feast that got out of hand.
FOn a morning run — I was up at 4, actually. Couldn't sleep.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 3 / 10CONFLICT STYLE 03 How do you handle a villain who keeps escaping justice? Every hero has a method. What's yours? AWeb them up and leave them for the police — again.
BBuild an airtight case and dismantle their entire operation from the inside. CDeploy a containment system I designed specifically for them. Tech wins. DMake sure they don't escape a third time.
Permanently. EChallenge them to single combat. Honour demands a decisive end. FRally allies, adapt the plan, and bring them in — by the book, even if it's hard.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 4 / 10SECRET IDENTITY 04 How do you feel about keeping a secret identity? The mask — or the lack of one — says everything. AEssential — my loved ones would be in danger if anyone found out who I am. BCritical — the mask protects my mission as much as my face.
COverrated — I announced myself to the world and I'd do it again. DI'm a ghost. The less people know about me, the better. EMy name is known across the Nine Realms.
There's no hiding it. FI don't hide — but I understand why some need to. Transparency builds trust.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 5 / 10LOSS & GRIEF 05 You've lost someone important because of your heroism. How do you carry that? Every hero pays a price. The question is how they pay it.
AWith guilt that never fully goes away — it pushes me to do better, every single day. BI channel it into purpose — their memory is the reason I keep fighting. CI buried myself in work for years. I'm only recently learning to face it.
DIt transformed me completely. I'm not the same person I was before. EWith warrior's grief — I honour them by fighting with everything I have. FI keep moving forward.
Stopping means letting the loss win. NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 6 / 10TEAM DYNAMICS 06 What's your role when working with a team? Who you are under pressure is who you actually are. AThe enthusiastic wildcard who somehow makes it work — and keeps the mood up.
BThe strategist who works best alone but shows up when it matters most. CThe one who funds it, equips it, and occasionally takes over the whole operation. DI don't do teams. I'm more effective operating solo, on my terms.
EThe heavy hitter — I crash in, draw fire, and turn the tide of battle. FThe leader — I earn trust, build the plan, and make sure no one gets left behind.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 7 / 10MORAL CODE 07 Where do you draw the line between justice and revenge? The answer defines what kind of hero you really are. AClearly — I don't kill, and I wrestle with that line constantly. BI try to hold the line, but I've come terrifyingly close to crossing it.
CPractically — I do what's necessary to protect people, including hard calls. DI crossed that line long ago. What I do is justice — the system just won't admit it. EIn battle, victory is justice.
Mercy is earned — not automatic. FFirmly. The moment we abandon our principles, we become what we fight against.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 8 / 10EVERYDAY LIFE 08 When you're not saving the world, what does life look like? The person behind the mask is always the more interesting story. ATrying to juggle school, a part-time job, and not failing my friends. BWorking as a lawyer by day, fighting for justice in court and on the streets.
CRunning a global company, attending galas, and pretending I'm sleeping enough. DQuiet. Isolated. Surviving with a clear mission and no distractions.
ENavigating a bizarre and fascinating mortal world — coffee is extraordinary. FAdapting to a world decades ahead of everything I knew. Quietly, stubbornly.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 9 / 10FEAR 09 What keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of. AThe people I couldn't save — and the ones I might not reach in time tomorrow. BWhether the monster I fight every night is starting to live inside me too.
CThe threats I can see coming and whether my tech is actually good enough. DNothing. Silence is the only peace I get. I've made my choices.
EWhether I'm truly worthy — of the hammer, of the throne, of the people I protect. FA world where no one stands up anymore. Where good people do nothing.
NEXT QUESTION → QUESTION 10 / 10FINAL STAND 10 The battle is lost. You're outnumbered, outgunned, and exhausted. What do you do? This is your tiebreaker — choose carefully.
ACrack a joke to buy a second, then find the one web shot that changes everything. BBlock out everything except the sound of the next threat — and keep going. CActivate the emergency protocol I built for exactly this scenario. Always have a plan.
DI don't accept that it's lost. I keep fighting until I physically cannot anymore. ECall the lightning. All of it.
The storm answers to me. FPick up the shield. Stand up. Because as long as I can stand, it's not over.
