Spider-Man 4: More on Sadie Sink’s Casting, Potential Character

Fresh insights are available about the potential character that Sadie Sink might portray in the upcoming Spider-Man film produced by Marvel and Sony, namely Spider-Man 4.

On Wednesday, March 12th, 2025, it came out that Millie Bobby Brown (who plays Sink in Netflix’s Stranger Things) had been chosen for Spider-Man 4. The specific role she’ll be playing in the film hasn’t been disclosed yet. With fans guessing about her character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the most frequently suggested possibilities seem to be Jean Grey from the X-Men, Gwen Stacy, or a different version of Mary Jane Watson.

What is the latest update on Sadie Sink’s casting in Spider-Man 4?

According to Jeff Sneider’s analysis, “The Insider”, it seems that Sony’s agreement with Marvel stipulates that each Spider-Man film should feature a significant Marvel Cinematic Universe character. With Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man appearing in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury being present in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange playing a part in Spider-Man: No Way Home, if Sink portrays Jean Grey, this would fulfill that condition of the deal.

Moreover, Sneider pointed out, “When I contacted a source about whether Sink was portraying Jean, they speculated that involving Jean in Spider-Man 4 might necessitate Sony granting producing credit and payment to Lauren Shuler Donner. This is something Sony would reportedly be reluctant to do. Interestingly, Donner wasn’t mentioned among the producers alongside Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal in Deadline’s report.

either Kitty Pryde (Firestar) or Felicia Hardy (the Black Cat).

Firestar is a mutant who debuted in Uncanny X-Men #193 from 1985, but her background is linked to Spider-Man because she was originally conceived for the NBC animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Later on, she was introduced into Marvel Comics.

Meanwhile, Black Cat is a beloved character from Spider-Man’s universe, frequently portrayed as Peter Parker’s romantic interest. Many fans have longed to see her appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In Marc Webb’s film, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Felicia Hardy briefly took on the role of Black Cat.

As a gaming enthusiast eagerly anticipating the next chapter of Spidey’s adventures, I can tell you that there’s yet to be an official reveal about who Sink is portraying in Spider-Man 4. The film’s release date, however, has been set for July 31, 2026. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope the suspense ends soon!
