Spider-Man's Fourth Installment Gains Stranger Things Actress, Sadie Sink
ABOUT THAT EXCITING NEW SPOILER FOR THE NEXT SPIDER-MAN MOVIE! 🕸️💥
Y'all, get ready for some juice! The latest scoop from the set of Sony's upcoming Spider-Man 4 has everybody buzzing! According to Deadline, the new cast member to join the 2026 film is none other than Sadie Sink, famed for absolutely slaying her role on Stranger Things 💥🔮
Now, the big question on everyone's mind is: who the heck is she playing?! Deadline hints that it's a mighty significant part, which makes sense given Sink's current star status. Rumors were swirling she could be in the running for the X-Men character Jean Grey, but shrug emoji the trade seems to suggest another identity for our girl Sink 🧐
Now, you might think casting a redhead in a Spider-Man movie means we're looking at classic love interest, Mary Jane Watson. But with Zendaya already filling those shoes, it's clear we ain't going down that path again, unless Sink's playing a variant Mary Jane 😜
Speaking of which, there's an equally likely chance she might be a version of Gwen Stacy—either as a traditional love interest or as the fiery, badass Spider-Gwen we all know and love 🔥✨
From a plot standpoint, Gwen makes more sense since we can assume Peter Parker (Tom Holland) will be needing a fresh crew after the events of No Way Home 💥 ellos
Bringing back another redhead, Emma Stone's Gwen Stacy from the Andrew Garfield films, might feel a bit messy, hair color aside 💁♀️
Introducing Jean Grey could be super interesting too, shaking up the X-Men dynamic of Logan and Scott Summers fighting over her 💔💔 But if the movie's gonna get too far removed from Spidey's story, well... satellite problems might ensue 🚀😜
There's another intriguing possibility—introducing Angelica Jones, a.k.a. Firestar, the mutant flame-manipulator 🔥💥 Who originally appeared in the 1981 animated series Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends, she later fulfilled a regular role in the comics as both an Avenger and X-Man 🤩
Filming for Spider-Man 4 is expected to begin later this year, aiming for a summer 2026 release date (fingers crossed!), but no deets on the plot or these characters have surfaced yet 🤐
So, what do you guys think? Gwen, Jean, Firestar, or a curveball we ain't seen coming? Share your thoughts below 👇💬
