New rumors about Spider-Man: Brand New Day offer Tom Holland’s Peter Parker simps, with additional rumors again saying the main villain is a female.
The end of No Way Home saw Doctor Strange cast the spell so everyone forgets who Peter Parker is, so that means no one remembers that Peter is Spider-Man. It also means those closest to Peter don’t remember him, including girlfriend MJ and best friend Ned.
What do the rumors say?
The villain
The rumors come via John Rocha on YouTube. Previously, Jeff Sneider said that the villain might be a female version of Chameleon. Rocha says he doesn’t know if it’s Chameleon, but that the villain is indeed a female shapeshifter (Mystique would be wild, with those rumors Sadie Sink is Jean Grey).
“I’ve had sources reach out to me close to the production, and someone who was recently at a Disney presentation for the film,” the YouTuber explained. “What I’m being told is that the main villain is a female shapeshifter. They’ve cast the person, but I’m not allowed to say who it was. Not sure if they’re the Chameleon or not, but they are a shapeshifter.”
It’s already known the cast is huge and loaded with lots of female characters, but Rocha adds, per the other rumors, that Hulk and The Punisher will be the “main people” that Spider-Man fights in the film.
Rocha also reveals another villain and adds to the plot of the movie, again, which fits with the spell being cast to erase Peter Parker. Well, Peter sounds like he’s going to become a big Simp, as he sees Zendaya’s MJ with another dude and snaps.
“Boomerang is also going to be part of this movie, and that MJ has a new boyfriend, which is what causes Peter to snap a bit and makes the movie a little more darker and grounded,” he said.
Who knows? Maybe they’ll take a page from Superman Returns and show Spidey web-slinging near MJ’s window spying on her and her new boyfriend?
