Sadie Sink, widely recognized for her role in “Stranger Things,” is set to make her entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. She has been cast in the upcoming “Spider-Man 4,” where she will star alongside Tom Holland, who returns as the iconic web-slinger.
While specific details about Sink’s character remain under wraps, industry sources like Deadline suggest that her role will be pivotal. There is speculation that Sink may take on the role of Jean Grey, a well-known “X-Men” mutant previously portrayed by actors Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner.
Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, responsible for releasing the Spider-Man series within Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, have not commented on these casting developments.
The plot of “Spider-Man 4” is still a closely guarded secret. However, the franchise’s last installment, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” released in 2021, was notable for its exploration of the multiverse, bringing together different Spider-Man portrayals by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield into a single narrative. This film was a blockbuster success, earning $1.9 billion globally and adding a complex layer to the Spider-Man saga with Holland’s character choosing to erase his identity, impacting those closest to him.
The upcoming “Spider-Man 4” is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, known for “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.” Cretton takes the directorial reins from Jon Watts, who directed the initial three films of this series. The movie is slated for release on July 31, 2026.
At just 22, Sadie Sink’s career has rapidly ascended. Following her success in “Stranger Things,” which concluded its fifth season recently, Sink has ventured into other significant projects. She starred in Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well: The Short Film” and is poised to appear in the Searchlight musical “O’Dessa,” which premiered at SXSW. Additionally, Sink is preparing for her Broadway debut in “John Proctor Is the Villain” this April.
