The rumor mill for Spider-Man: Brand New Day is spinning faster than ever, and a new report suggests that Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet might be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
According to a known scooper, the Dune star is being eyed for a pivotal role in Tom Holland’s upcoming threequel. This news comes just as fans anticipate the first trailer for the film, potentially arriving as soon as next week.
Timothée Chalamet rumored to be Harry Osborn in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The speculation regarding Timothée Chalamet’s Spider-Man casting began heating up after MyTimeToShineHello posted on X, “Spider-Man Brand New Day trailer is coming sooner than we think and Chalamet could be Harry in the next Spidey movie.” This would place the actor in the shoes of Harry Osborn, a character rooted in Spider-Man lore as Peter Parker’s best friend and the son of the infamous Green Goblin, Norman Osborn.
While Sony Pictures has remained quiet on the official marketing front since production began in Scotland last summer, leaks and set photos have kept the project in the public eye. The rumored Timothée Chalamet and Harry Osborn connection suggests Spider-Man: Brand New Day could be delving into Peter Parker’s personal life. Basically, a core element of the character’s story.
In the comics, Harry Osborn is a complex figure whose friendship with Peter is often tested by his father’s legacy and his own demons. It eventually led him to take up the Green Goblin mantle himself. If true, Chalamet would follow in the footsteps of James Franco (Spider-Man 3) and Dane DeHaan (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) in bringing the character to life on the big screen.
Furthermore, this casting rumor aligns with the timeline of promotional activity for Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans had hoped for a trailer debut alongside December releases like Avatar: Fire and Ash, but those plans were reportedly shelved. Now, several reports suggest the first trailer is scheduled for March 17 and 18, being floated to capitalize on the theatrical debut of Project Hail Mary.
