Stranger Things actor Joe Keery is reportedly in talks to play Harry Osborn in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, sources suggest. The rumour stems from industry insider Daniel Richtman, who indicated Marvel Studios has Keery on its radar for a key MCU role, with fans speculating it could be Peter Parker's best friend.

This potential casting, resurfacing from whispers in August 2025, would see the 33-year-old transition from Netflix's supernatural hit to Marvel's web-slinging franchise. As of 13 January 2026, no official word has come from the studio, but the buzz highlights Keery's appeal for a character blending charm and complexity.
