With the expansion of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the question of who will join the cast of each new film has become a hot topic. In recent weeks, rumors have spread rapidly on social media that Stranger Things star Joe Keery would be cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Joe Keery and the MCU Rumors
Renowned insider Daniel Richtman has stated that the rumors about Joe Keery appearing in Spider-Man 4 are false. According to Richtman, the actor has no connection to the project. This revelation has significantly undermined the credibility of the rapidly growing speculation and has put expectations on hold for now.
Keery’s name first surfaced a few weeks ago. Rumors, particularly on social media, suggested he would be portraying Harry Osborn. However, the lack of official confirmation revealed these claims to be based entirely on fan theories. Despite this, the rumors have generated considerable excitement within the fan community.
The cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slowly taking shape. Tom Holland is reportedly returning as Peter Parker, while Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are also expected to appear in the film. It has also been officially announced that newcomers such as Stranger Things star Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas, known for her role in the TV series The Bear, have joined the cast. This confirms the film’s strong cast.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with a script written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Rachel O’Connor, and Avi Arad are also producing. The film is set for release on July 31, 2026. Although it is now clear that Joe Keery will not be involved in this project, there seems to be a strong possibility of new developments in the future thanks to Marvel’s openness to surprise moves.
