A star character who featured in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is heavily rumored to reprise his role in Avengers: Secret Wars. This MCU star is also an important part of the Daredevil storyline.
A latest X (formerly Twitter) post from @blueminutes, claimed that Jon Bernthal will be coming back as Punisher in Avengers: Secret Wars.
Reposting the tweet, scooper @MyTimeToShineH confirmed the news as they wrote, “Yes, that is correct. Punisher will return in Avengers Secret Wars.” The post further claimed that Bernthal will be seen in action alongside Spider-Man, the Defenders, and Jean Grey. However, the news is still a rumor, as nothing has been confirmed officially by Marvel yet.
For context, My Time To Shine Hello is a widely followed source for movie predictions. They previously correctly predicted the presence of three Spider-Men ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home. However, not all of their reports hold the same weight; their recent claims regarding Dwayne Johnson joining the MCU as a mutant villain and Tobey Maguire playing a pivotal role in Secret Wars remain unverified.
How Spider-Man: Brand New Day could shape Avengers: Secret Wars
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has opened to an impressive crowd reception. Despite having an initial 89% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie now sits at a 91% Tomatometer. However, apart from the overall story of the movie, some important characters might be a part of Avengers: Secret Wars.
Spider-Man himself is widely expected to appear, though Marvel has yet to make an official announcement. In fact, Tom Holland’s involvement in Avengers: Doomsday remains under wraps. However, given his central role in previous Avengers installments, his inclusion in the upcoming multiversal conflict is highly probable.
Alongside Spider-Man, his girlfriend MJ and best friend Ned Leeds might also feature in Secret Wars. Lastly, the character of Jean Grey is rumored to make a comeback. Grey is also being touted as one of the most important characters in the multiversal war with Doctor Doom.
Avengers: Secret Wars is scheduled to premiere on December 17, 2027.
