The Marvel Cinematic Universe is gearing up for its biggest 2026 release. Following the official title reveal of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans are not only curious about the plot but also the staggering numbers behind the scenes. With filming officially wrapped and a director secured, the projected salaries for the star-studded cast have begun to surface.
The $200 Million Gamble
Marvel and Sony are reportedly working with a massive production budget of $200 million to $250 million. A significant portion of this is allocated to the cast, which now features a mix of MCU veterans and high-profile newcomers.
| Actor | Character | Expected Salary |
| Tom Holland | Peter Parker / Spider-Man | $20M – $25 Million |
| Zendaya | MJ | $10M+ (including bonuses) |
| Mark Ruffalo | Bruce Banner / Hulk | $10M – $15 Million |
| Jon Bernthal | Frank Castle / Punisher | $3M – $5 Million |
| Sadie Sink | Unrevealed Role | $2M – $3 Million |
| Jacob Batalon | Ned Leeds | $2M – $4 Million |
Tom Holland’s Record-Breaking Paycheck
Tom Holland has seen an unprecedented salary hike since his debut in Civil War, where he earned just $250,000. For Spider-Man: Brand New Day, his base salary is expected to be at least $20 million, potentially reaching $25 million with backend profit-sharing deals. This puts him in the same elite earning bracket as Robert Downey Jr. during his peak MCU years.
New Faces, New Deals
- Sadie Sink: The Stranger Things breakout star has reportedly signed a 3-picture deal with Marvel Studios. Her entry into the MCU in an unrevealed role is one of the most anticipated aspects of the film.
- The Hulk & Punisher: The inclusion of Mark Ruffalo and Jon Bernthal suggests a “street-level Avengers” vibe. Their salaries reflect their “Senior Avenger” and “Fan Favorite” statuses, respectively.
Key Production Detail: The film is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi) and is scheduled for a global theatrical release on July 31, 2026.
Why “Brand New Day”?
The title refers to the comic book arc where Peter Parker faces a fresh start. Following the memory-wipe at the end of No Way Home, Peter is now a “street-level” hero again, operating without the Stark tech or the support system he once had. This “soft reboot” allows Marvel to introduce new villains, with Scorpion (played by Michael Mando) rumored to be the primary antagonist.
