The highly anticipated fourth installment of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, produced by Marvel Studios, has sparked much discussion since its announcement. Fans have been eagerly speculating about who the villain will be in the movie, and now the actor rumored to portray the main antagonist has spoken up.

Tom Holland’s portrayal of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has been one of the most thriving franchises. Initially, Holland was contracted to appear in a trilogy – Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). Due to the impressive performance of his last movie, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures decided to bring him back for another standalone Spider-Man film. In this new adventure, Holland will reprise his role as the web-slinging hero in Spider-Man: A Fresh Start. There have been numerous whispers about the villains that might appear in this movie. Some speculated it would be a female antagonist. However, fresh gossip emerged after Holland revealed the title of the upcoming film. Now, there are theories circulating that Mr. Negative will serve as the main adversary since he is a notorious villain in the comic books.

Stephen Oyoung, who lends his voice to Mr. Negative in the 2018 video game “Marvel’s Spider-Man” and its upcoming sequel “Spider-Man 2,” is being speculated to take on the main antagonist role in “Spider-Man 4.” The acclaimed performance of Oyoung as Mr. Negative has generated a lot of interest, with fans expressing their appreciation for his portrayal. In a conversation with 4GQTV, the actor expressed his humble gratitude and astonishment at the outpouring of support following the casting rumors. Although no official announcement has been made, there is speculation that Oyoung may be considered for the film. The voice actor hinted that he has some ideas, but as of now, Sony Pictures has not contacted him regarding his potential involvement in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” He expressed his excitement about the possibility of being part of this new Spider-Man adventure.

As of now, I haven’t received any communication from Sony. However, there are some things I do know, but in terms of Sony reaching out to me, that hasn’t happened yet.

Oyoung admitted that speculations about his involvement in a Spider-Man film project began around three or four years ago. At first, he wasn’t particularly interested, believing it might have been merely speculation. But this time, he has developed a different perspective as “it now seems quite genuine.” Despite uncertainty about his role in the upcoming MCU film, Oyoung is optimistic that Mr. Negative will reappear, likely in another platform such as a game or other media. However, he’s unsure if he will continue to portray the character or if someone new will take on the role instead.

I have a vague concept, yet I’m unsure about it too. It involves Marvel, gaming, and Sony, but there are so many complex aspects to consider. The intricacies of this are immense, and even if I knew all the details, I might not be able to explain them. However, I’m extremely optimistic about the possibilities. In fact, I strongly believe that Mr. Negative could appear in some form of media in the future, whether it’s through my work or someone else’s.

The depiction of Mr. Negative by Oyoung in the Spider-Man video games is met with approval. Fans appreciate the depth and complexity he adds to the multifaceted character. Martin Li, a wealthy benefactor, employs his resources to help those less fortunate. Yet, beneath this benevolent exterior lies Mr. Negative, a ruthless criminal mastermind who harnesses extra-dimensional energy powers to lead a criminal empire. Oyoung has previously shown the ability to convey both the visual and emotional intensity of the character, making him an ideal candidate for the role in Spider-Man 4 if they decide to include Mr. Negative. After all, he has already set the standard for many fans through his portrayals in the games.

Apart from his talent and physical prowess, Oyoung’s extensive acting and stunt experience make him a strong contender for the role of Mr. Negative in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. With a background in martial arts and stunt coordination, he has demonstrated his ability to handle action scenes effectively. His versatile talent is evident from his previous roles in NCIS, Insecure, CSI: Cyber, Terminator: Dark Fate, Twisters (204), and the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning with Tom Cruise. Although his performance in Twisters was not central, he added energy and depth to the ensemble. Here’s hoping that Oyoung can bring Mr. Negative to life on the big screen.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will hit theaters on July 31, 2026.
