In what may be a first for the franchise, actor Marvin Jones III, who voices Tombstone in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, will reprise his role in live-action, joining the MCU's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as reported by Deadline.

It's still not officially confirmed, but it's potentially the first example of an actor crossing over from the Spider-Verse films into the MCU. Actor Donald Glover previously went the other way with cameos as a live-action version of Aaron Davis, also known as the Prowler in Spider-Verse continuity, both as a civilian in Spider-Man: Homecoming, and as a briefly-glimpsed Prowler variant in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
