Marvel Studios’ Phase 6 Just Confirmed Its 6th Street-Level Superhero

by

Marvel Studios unveiled its sixth street-level character joining the MCU’s Phase 6, generating much excitement among fans. As the multiversal battle in the upcoming two _Avengers_ films approaches, other stories within the next phase of the MCU will delve into smaller, street-level conflicts. This will see the return of several notable heroes and villains before they face off against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom in an epic showdown.

The standout stories slated for Phase 6 are set to unfold at street level and include “Spider-Man: A Fresh Start”, the second season of “Daredevil: Rebirth”, and a special presentation of “The Punisher”. Notably, Jon Bernthal’s character, known as The Punisher, is confirmed to feature in all these narratives.

It’s not unexpected that Frank featured in shows like Daredevil and The Punisher, given his comics background. However, what really sparks interest is his debut in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, where he teams up with Tom Holland’s Spider-Man on screen for the first time, making this a particularly thrilling development.

It’s intriguing to ponder how the Punisher’s intense and ruthless approach towards his adversaries might influence Peter Parker’s moral compass, given that he himself is grappling with a dark period in life due to being isolated following “Spider-Man: No Way Home”.

The specifics of the storyline for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” remain mysterious, but it’s anticipated that it will tackle the consequences of Doctor Strange’s spell which caused everyone to forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man at the end of “No Way Home”. Alongside Bernthal and Holland, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Zendaya, and Liza Colón-Zayas are also part of the cast. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

Other Street-Level Heroes in the MCU’s Phase 6

Spider-Man

Following a significant delay, Tom Holland’s portrayal of Spider-Man is set to reappear on the big screen in a transformed state, titled “Spider-Man: Fresh Start“. In this new adventure, Peter Parker must adapt to his new reality of living without companions.

Besides encountering The Punisher, it’s also whispered that Spider-Man will engage in a battle with Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk in the film, making him face his eighth adversary within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Instead of immediately jumping into another Multiversal gathering featuring Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man characters, it might be more fitting to explore a street-level adventure starring Tom Holland’s version of the Marvel superhero. This approach would help maintain Peter Parker as the down-to-earth neighborhood hero that fans have come to admire, keeping him grounded and relatable.

Daredevil

In the upcoming season 2 of “Daredevil: Born Again,” actor Charlie Cox’s character Matt Murdock will make a comeback. He finds himself dealing with numerous challenges as Mayor Wilson Fisk enforces martial law in New York, and his Anti-Vigilante task force is actively patrolling the city streets.

Towards the conclusion of Season 1, Daredevil gathered an army to take on Mayor Fisk’s troops. This means that he will likely rejoin forces with former allies such as Jessica Jones, and possibly other Defenders, to form a powerful unit against the Kingpin and his squad.

Born Again” Season 2 is gearing up to deliver the epic street-level confrontation that Marvel Cinematic Universe enthusiasts have been anticipating, with New York appearing to become a dangerous battlefield.

Jessica Jones

It has been confirmed that Krysten Ritter will once again take on the role of Jessica Jones in the second season of “Daredevil: Born Again.” It appears that she is being enlisted by Daredevil to join forces with him as they prepare to battle Mayor Fisk in an upcoming fight.

In a playful hint about Jessica Jones’ upcoming role in Season 2, Charlie Cox mentioned an enjoyable interaction between her character and Daredevil, as they share a deep-seated respect for each other, leading to an entertaining dynamic.

Jessica and Matt share an entertaining relationship, marked by mutual respect. Jessica perceives Matt as overly serious and a bit too much like a choirboy, while he finds her brash and trivializing many serious matters excessively. It’s likely that she leans more towards being an anti-hero rather than a hero.

It can be reasonably expected that Jessica Jones will play a significant part in the forthcoming season, whether her role is larger or more restricted, and she’ll likely be the focal point when she returns to our screens.

White Tiger (Angela Del Toro)

Following the demise of the original White Tiger and her abduction by Muse in the first season of “Daredevil: Born Again”, it seems likely that Angela Del Toro may experience trauma and potentially take a backseat role due to the harrowing experiences she has faced.

In other words, photos from the second season of “Daredevil: Born Again” have shown that Angela is set to become the new White Tiger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), making her the fourth superhero on Marvel Television shows. It’s widely expected that she’ll join forces with Matt Murdock, but given that she’s a teenager, it might take some persuasion for her to do so.

Kate Bishop

Although the future of Hawkeye Season 2 remains uncertain, it has been confirmed that Hailee Steinfeld will once again play the character of Kate Bishop, this time in Marvel Animation’s upcoming series, Marvel Zombies.

In the expansive Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), she will team up with esteemed heroes such as Shang-Chi and Ms. Marvel, battling off hordes of zombies while attempting to survive and explore a post-apocalyptic world within the broader MCU multiverse.
