Starting with the insider, Daniel Richtman, the personality in question shared a post online indicating that Marvel Studios is looking to cast an Asian actor for the next outing of the web-slinger. 

He also went on to add that the studio is looking for someone between the ages of 30 and 50 for "a big role" in 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day

This is just one hint at Mr. Negative making his big-screen debut. 

Meanwhile, it was even reported that since the title was made public, Stephen Oyoung had become more active on social media, stating that he wanted to play the character in the movie. For those unversed, he is the same personality who voiced Martin Li aka Mr. Negative in Sony's Spider-Man games.

Talking about the story, Peter Parker’s marriage to Mary Jane Watson is erased, following which the history is shown to be affected largely. And much similar to what we saw in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man's secret identity is forgotten as well, after he was unmasked to the public following the events of Civil War, which had the Avengers against each other. 

Mr. Negative is a ruthless crime boss known for using dark forces to terrorize New York City.
