‘Severance’ Standout Tramell Tillman Joins ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’

The manager of the severed floor has a new gig: tangling with Spider-Man. Though we (of course) have absolutely no idea which character he’ll be playing, Severance standout Tramell Tillman will be swinging into a role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

This update on the much-anticipated fourth Spider-Man MCU movie starring the returning Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon—plus Jon Bernthal’s Punisher and Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk—comes from Variety. Tillman joins Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) and Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear) on the film’s list of “new cast members from other things we like, though we have no clue who they’ll be playing here.”

As Severance‘s Mr. Milchick—or “Seth,” depending on how far up the Lumon ladder you happen to be—Tillman really broke out in this year’s second season, earning an Emmy nomination for his portrayal of a corporate zealot who’s starting to show cracks in his conviction. He’s not one of the show’s severed characters, but viewers nonetheless got a good glimpse of the almost double life he’s leading, following the rule of law at work while also cringing at some of the decisions made above his head.

And, it goes without saying, if Brand New Day has any dance numbers, Holland absolutely has a kick-ass partner ready to share the floor.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters July 31, 2026, with Marvel veteran Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) directing.
