Spider-Man: Brand New Day Empire Reveal: Scorpion, Punisher, New Character

New Spider-Man: Brand New Day images have surfaced, giving fans a first look at Michael Mando suited up as Scorpion with a look at the tail.

The images appear to come from Empire magazine and show Mando’s Mac Gargan in full tactical gear first seen in the trailer, but this time complete with the Scorpion-style armor and tail. It’s the best look yet at the character’s return after his small role in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

The good news? The suit actually looks pretty solid. It also looks a lot better than the promo art that has been floating around online.

See the first look at Michael Mando’s full Scorpion reveal in action figure form.

Scorpion is just one piece of the puzzle; our Spider-Man: Brand New Day guide covers the full cast, villains, and plot.

Marvel has confirmed The Hand, and it appears they’re led by a new female villain.

Kevin Feige has confirmed the flick is the first real Tom Holland “Spider-Man” movie.
