Report: Marvin Jones III to Play Tombstone

Deadline reports that Marvin Jones III has been cast as Lonnie Lincoln/Tombstone in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, reprising the role he voiced in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and is expected to voice again in Beyond the Spider-Verse. Sony reps declined to comment and Marvel and Sony have not issued official confirmation of the casting. Tombstone is portrayed in comics and reports as an African‑American albino crime boss with filed teeth, near‑indestructible, stone‑like skin and superhuman strength. The film's ensemble reportedly includes Tom Holland alongside Jon Bernthal's Punisher, Mark Ruffalo's Hulk, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Liza Colón‑Zayas and Michael Mando returning as Scorpion. Production was briefly paused after Holland suffered a concussion but reports say filming is set to resume Sept. 29, and the film remains on track for its July 31, 2026 release. Jones's casting is being noted as a rare instance of an actor moving from Spider‑Verse animation into live‑action MCU, prompting speculation about cross‑media casting choices.
