Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The actress has reportedly been cast in a leading role in the highly anticipated Spider-Man 4, starring Tom Holland.
According to Deadline, the film is set to begin shooting later this year under the direction of Destin Daniel Cretton. While details about Sadie’s role remain under wraps, fan speculations are already running wild.
Mary Jane Watson or Jean Grey?
Many fans believe that Sink could be introduced as Jean Grey, a significant member of the X-Men. As Marvel moves closer to integrating mutants into the MCU, her casting could signal the first major X-Men crossover.
However, others speculate that she may portray Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Man’s iconic love interest. Zendaya played ‘MJ’ in the previous trilogy, but her character was Michelle Jones, a departure from the classic comic book version.
Sadie’s casting marks an important turning point in Spider-Man’s storyline. At the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Peter Parker erased himself from everyone’s memory, including his loved ones. Her involvement hints at fresh storylines that could reshape the franchise.
What’s Next for the Stars?
Currently, Tom Holland is busy filming Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey and is expected to begin work on Spider-Man 4 once that project wraps. The film is currently scheduled for a July 2026 release.
Fans will have to wait to see whether Sadie Sink will become Peter Parker’s new love interest or play a pivotal role in the X-Men’s MCU journey. Either way, her addition to the franchise is sure to generate excitement among Marvel and Stranger Things fans alike.
