Tillman, Idris Address Spider-Man and Black Panther Rumors
Tramell Tillman, known for his recent role in “Severance,” has joined the cast of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” His addition was announced in mid-August, coinciding with ongoing filming in Glasgow and recently at Pinewood Studios.
Character Details and Speculation
While specifics about Tillman’s character remain a mystery, he will share the screen with Tom Holland as Spider-Man, Zendaya as M.J., Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, and Jon Bernthal as the Punisher. Additionally, Mark Ruffalo reprises his role as Hulk, alongside Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas in undisclosed roles.
There is considerable speculation around Tillman’s character, with many suggesting he could portray the villain Tombstone or Robbie Robertson from the Daily Bugle. A reliable source, however, clarified that Tillman is indeed playing a villain but not Tombstone.

During a recent interview with Variety at the TIME 100 event, Tillman addressed his role in “Spider-Man.” When asked how his character contrasts with his Severance role, he playfully responded, “Who says I’m playing a villain?” Adding that he is enjoying the filming process, he reiterated the need to keep details under wraps.

At the same TIME 100 event, fellow actor Damson Idris spoke to TIME regarding rumors of him potentially joining the cast as a new Black Panther. When questioned about the speculation, Idris smiled broadly but stated, “No, no, I don’t know anything about it.” He humorously remained non-committal but indicated a willingness to discuss the possibility in the future.
