Excitement is building around the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as fresh rumors suggest potential casting additions that have fans buzzing. Unconfirmed reports are linking actors Andrew Garfield and Kiernan Shipka to the project alongside the confirmed lead, Tom Holland.
Andrew Garfield's Return as Spider-Man in Question
Andrew Garfield, who previously portrayed Spider-Man in The Amazing Spider-Man series, has sparked widespread speculation about his involvement. When asked about the trailer for the new film, Garfield gave an ambiguous response, stating, "I haven't seen it yet with sound. I've seen it without sound, 'cause I was in a makeup chair, and I didn't want to disturb everyone, but it looks cool, it was very very cool." This comment has led many to wonder if he is subtly denying rumors of his return or hinting at a surprise appearance.
Kiernan Shipka Rumored for Gwen Stacy Role
Meanwhile, online chatter has intensified regarding Kiernan Shipka potentially stepping into the role of Gwen Stacy, a beloved character from Marvel Comics. Gwen Stacy has long been rumored to be making her way into the MCU, especially after her animated appearance in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Clues Point to Gwen Stacy's MCU Debut
Speculation about Gwen Stacy's introduction has been fueled by details observed in the recently released trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans noted that Peter Parker appears to be attending Empire State University, as he is seen wearing an ESU hoodie. In Marvel Comics lore, this university is significant as it marks the place where Peter first meets Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn.
This detail has led many to believe that the MCU could finally be setting the stage for Gwen Stacy's debut. Her character was also teased in Spider-Man: No Way Home, when Andrew Garfield's Peter Parker becomes emotional while remembering Gwen's tragic demise in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
