Sadie Sink Joins Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4

by Charlotte Oct 14,2025

Sadie Sink, known for her role as Max Mayfield in *Stranger Things*, is reportedly joining Tom Holland in *Spider-Man 4*. Deadline reports that Sink, whose film debut was in the 2016 film *Chuck*, will be in the upcoming MCU movie. Filming begins later this year, with a release date set for July 31, 2026. Marvel and Sony have yet to comment on the casting.

Deadline speculates Sink might play either Jean Grey or another popular redheaded Spider-Man character, possibly hinting at Mary Jane Watson. However, how this introduction would affect Peter Parker's current relationship with MJ (Zendaya) remains unclear. Deadline suggests Sink will have a significant role, potentially acting as a reset following the events of *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, where Peter's identity was erased and he reconnected with MJ.

Holland is currently filming Christopher Nolan's *The Odyssey*, and is expected to begin filming *Spider-Man 4* upon completion.

Late last year, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige hinted at the introduction of X-Men characters in upcoming MCU films. He mentioned fans would see familiar X-Men characters in the "next few" MCU movies, without specifying which characters or films. Feige also emphasized the X-Men's importance in the MCU's future, particularly after *Secret Wars*.
