BTS Jin and Korean actor Ji Chang Wook in Spider man 4?

Marvel's Spider-Man 4, officially titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is generating significant excitement as fans eagerly await the next chapter of Tom Holland's Peter Parker. Among the names gaining traction for roles in the film are BTS member Jin and popular K-drama actor Ji Chang Wook, who have become fan favourites.

Following the major twist in Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter Parker had his memories erased from the world, the upcoming film is set to take the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) in a fresh direction.

Fans have been speculating about potential plotlines, casting decisions, and other developments, and recent reports indicate that leading South Korean stars may be considered for significant roles in the movie.

Social media platforms have been flooded with fan campaigns, with many fans expressing a strong desire to see Jin join the MCU, citing his acting potential and versatility. One fan even remarked that Jin’s natural talent and “hero” appeal would make him a perfect fit for the role, and they also noted that an original soundtrack (OST) from him would be a hit.

The speculation has intensified with reports suggesting that Marvel may be looking to cast an Asian actor, aged between 30 and 50, for a significant role in the film. Some online theories point to Mister Negative, a villain introduced in the comics and featured prominently in the Spider-Man video games, as a possible character for this role.

The excitement surrounding Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to build, with Sony Pictures having officially confirmed the title at CinemaCon 2025.

Actress Sadie Sink is also rumoured to have joined the cast, with speculation suggesting she could play a mutant from the X-Men universe.

With so many twists and turns, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated MCU films in recent years.
