Sadie Sink ‘cast in Spider-Man 4’ as fans speculate she’s set to play Mary Jane
What is your theory?
Sadie Sink has reportedly been cast in the fourth installment of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man – and the theories are already going wild.
The Stranger Things star is best known for her rousing portrayal of grief-stricken teen Max Mayfield in the hit fantasy Netflix series, which will release its final season later this year.
And for those curious to know what the 22-year-old actor’s next career move is, look no further.
It looks like she is destined for one of Marvel and Sony Pictures’ most highly anticipated sequels, Spider-Man 4, opposite our titular superhero, Tom Holland, per Deadline.
As of now, only the 28-year-old actor is officially confirmed to return as Peter Parker.
The last movie, No Way Home, ended with the love of his life Michelle ‘MJ’ Jones (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon), losing their memory of him when he wiped his own existence.

There are currently two theories as to which role she could play, including X-Men character Jean Grey – one of the most powerful X-Men with telekinetic and telepathic abilities.
The other, which has caused fierce speculation, is that she could be Mary Jane Watson – Peter’s famed love interest.
‘Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct answer. Sadie Sink will be the new Mary Jane,’ @mcucommenter declared.

‘Genuinely what sense would it make to bring in another MJ Watson (AT ALL considering we already have one) given what happened in nwh??,’ @peterfemmejay shared.
‘Why start a whole discussion when it’s pretty clear she won’t be Mary Jane??? TOM’S SPIDEY HAS AN MJ THIS IS SO DUMB GUYS PLS,’ jcomerswift said.
And others believe it could be a different character altogether.
Comment nowWho do you think Sadie Sink could play in the new Spider-Man?Comment Now‘Imagine if Marvel is tricking us all and Sadie Sink isn’t playing Jean Grey or Mary Jane but actually Gwen Stacy or Black Cat,’ connorbehrens posed.
‘Sadie Sink would absolutely crush a Jean Grey or Mary Jane role, but I feel like she might be getting cast as Firestar here,’ firestar991 said.
‘There are rumors it could be another multiverse movie and what if Sadie Sink is playing the daughter of Peter Parker & Mary Jane from the Raimiverse. Mayday Parker aka Spider-Girl,’ @fmraimispidey questioned.
The Whale actress recently opened up about the emotional experience finally wrapping up filming on Stranger Things season five.
‘I haven’t seen anything from it yet, I’m very curious though,’ she told The Hollywood Reporter.

‘I had cried so much that my eyes were so puffy – they had never been like that before and there are some pretty embarrassing photos of me just with these giant puffy eyes.’
As for Spider-Man’s future, Tom (who is currently filming for Christopher Nolan’s next epic, The Odyssey) shared that he has read a draft script for the fourth film.
Offering a small insight into how the film is shaping up, he admitted that with Marvel, Spider-Man is a ‘small cog in a large machine.’
He added to Variety: ‘We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent.
‘It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me.
‘Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.’
