Stranger Things‘ Sadie Sink is officially joining the MCU’s Spider-Man 4, where she’ll co-star alongside Tom Holland. While we have no official word about who Sadie Sink will play in Spider-Man 4, Sink has long been rumored to be a top choice to play the MCU’s Jean Grey, one of the strongest and most beloved characters from Marvel’s X-Men. We hadn’t really considered the MCU would introduce any new members of the X-Men in a Spider-Man movie, but we suppose it’s totally possible. It’s also very possible that Sadie Sink is playing a totally different character in the MCU movie. There’s no lack of redheads in Marvel, and specifically in Spider-Man. What we do know, at least according to Deadline, is that Sink’s role on Spider-Man 4 “will be a significant one.”
Given that the world doesn’t remember Peter Parker in the MCU, it stands to reason that Spider-Man will need to make some new friends, including, it seems, Sadie Sink’s mystery character. Spider-Man 4 will release on July 31, 2026. So, we have plenty of time to speculate about who Sink will play and how that character will fit into the world. The movie is in the capable hands of director Destin Daniel Cretton. And, of course, Sony’s Amy Pascal and Marvel president Kevin Feige are producing.
Going from Stranger Things to the MCU feels like a pretty good move for Sink to make. And we know that Stranger Things‘ Lucas, Dustin, Mike, and Will would have their jaws hanging wide open if they knew Max would get to play Jean Grey someday. (Or any other Marvel character for that matter.) We can’t wait to see what Sadie Sink will do in Spider-Man 4. Hopefully, we’ll get to see more from the movie sooner rather than later. We guess if we really want to know who Sadie Sink is playing in Spider-Man, we just need to corner Tom Holland.
