"According to , Marvin Jones III, aka Krondon, has been cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Tombstone. Jones already voiced Tombstone in Into the Spider-Verse, where he's Kingpin's right-hand man and head of security for Fisk Industries. Because Marvel's Spider-Man movies are set in another universe, it's likely Brand New Day 's version of Tombstone will serve a completely different role."
"Jones is bringing this character into live-action for the first time, but he's no stranger to playing supervillains: he previously played crime boss Tobias Whale in the CW Arrowverse series Black Lightning. Jones, like Tombstone's comic book iteration, has albinism, so he's perfectly suited to bring him into live-action. In fact, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Tombstone would have been played by Jones in El Muerto, the Bad-Bunny-starring Sonyverse spinoff movie that was quietly taken off the schedule in 2023."
Spider-Man appears in two separate cinematic spheres: MCU live-action films and Sony's Spider-Verse animated trilogy. Sony retained rights to the character and used them to revolutionize animated superhero movies with the Spider-Verse series. Marvin Jones III, who voiced Tombstone in Into the Spider-Verse, has been cast as Tombstone in the live-action Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The live-action Tombstone will likely differ from the animated incarnation because the live-action Marvel films occupy a separate universe. Tombstone is a comics crime boss comparable to Kingpin. Jones previously played Tobias Whale and shares albinism with the comic character, making him visually fitting for the role. A planned Sony spinoff, El Muerto, had included Jones as Tombstone before its removal from the schedule.
