Summary
- Marvin Jones III will portray Tombstone in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
- Tombstone is an organized crime figure with superhuman abilities.
- The movie will also feature Michael Mando as The Scorpion.
Marvin Jones III is slated to embody the formidable villain Tombstone in the upcoming film Spider-Man: Brand New Day, scheduled for release on July 31, 2026. This live-action adaptation promises to explore Tombstone's deep ties to organized crime, a facet rarely seen in previous cinematic Spider-Man outings.
Jones III, previously known for his captivating performance as Tobias Whale in Black Lightning, is expected to bring a similar flair to Lonnie Lincoln, a.k.a. Tombstone. While he previously voiced the character in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this film offers a more substantial platform to develop the character.
The movie will also feature Michael Mando reprising his role as Mac Gargan, who will finally become The Scorpion. This pairing of Tombstone and Scorpion is anticipated to present a significant challenge for Spider-Man, potentially tying into Kingpin's narrative as Tombstone's former employer in the comics.
