Marvel just pulled off a sneaky double reveal that fans didn’t see coming. Tombstone — one of Spider-Man’s most underrated and genuinely menacing villains — is not only confirmed for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but he’s making his small-screen debut first in Prime Video’s Spider-Noir series. And the hype is very much justified.

Tombstone Confirmation: How It Happened
The confirmation came from artist Jorge Molina, who shared a set of Spider-Noir badge illustrations created for Prime Video and CCXP to celebrate the show’s launch. The illustrations featured several key characters, including Sandman, Electro — and Tombstone. When fans asked Molina who the first villain was, he confirmed it was indeed Tombstone. News24online
So before Tombstone ever throws a punch in the MCU, he’ll be terrorising audiences on streaming first.

Why Tombstone Is the Perfect Pick for Brand New Day
Spider-Man: Brand New Day appears to be trading in the more fantastical setups of previous films for a grounded, street-level approach — and if you’re going down that route, Tombstone with his distinctly mafioso vibes is a perfect fit. News24online
Tombstone, real name Lonnie Lincoln, is a mob enforcer and one of Marvel’s most physically intimidating street-level villains. While he may not have the name recognition of Doctor Octopus or Venom, his history runs deep — he appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and received a full spotlight in Amazing Spider-Man’s landmark Gang War storyline. He’s a villain who earns his respect the hard way.
His inclusion in Brand New Day could also pave the way for other street-level characters — most notably the Punisher, who is also rumoured to be part of the film. News24online If that’s where this is heading, Marvel is clearly building something grittier and more grounded than anything Spider-Man has seen before on the big screen.
Spider-Noir: The Perfect Warm-Up
Before all of that, fans can see Tombstone in action when Spider-Noir drops on Prime Video on May 27, 2026, starring Nicolas Cage in the title role. The series is set in a 1930s noir universe and promises a completely different aesthetic to the MCU — darker, moodier, and drenched in classic pulp storytelling energy.
