Sadie Sink in Spider-Man: Brand New Day; Here's everything you need to know about her role
Stranger Things fame Sadie Sink became the latest addition to Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Fans have been eagerly speculating about her role amid several reports about her possible role in the film. Although no official details about her character were released by the makers following her casting announcement in March, a new update has seemingly shifted the narrative.
Previously, several theories around her role were reported. It included speculations about Sadie playing iconic X-Men character Jean Grey, while others guessed Firestar or even Mary Jane Watson herself. A rumour also suggested that she might portray Lily Hollister, aka the villain Menace.
Amid this, industry insider John Rocha, speaking on a recent episode of The Hot Mic podcast, revealed what Sadie Sink may not be seen as in the upcoming film.
Rocha claimed that Sadie Sink is set to portray Mayday Parker, the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.
It this is true, then a major plot twist in the film franchise is guaranteed for the films.
In the episode, Rocha also revealed that the upcoming version of Mayday Parker won't be tied to Tom Holland's Spider-Man. She is reportedly part of a different timeline, connecting her to Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. It would make her the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane Watson.
'My source heard Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker. So, connecting to the Tobey universe. She's his daughter,' Rocha said.
This leaves room for the film to explore a multiverse storyline and even bring Sadie's Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland's Spider-Man, bridging different cinematic Spider-Man universes.
This revelation has fueled further speculation that the film could explore a multiverse storyline, potentially bringing Sadie as Mayday face-to-face with Tom Holland of Spider-Man.
The character, to be played by Sadie, Mayday Parker, first appeared in What If...? #105 by Marvel Comics.
In the comics, she eventually inherits her father's powers and carves her own path as Spider-Girl or even Spider-Woman.
While the character made an appearance in the animated Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sadie Sink essaying the role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be the first time Mayday is portrayed in a live-action film.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. Besides Sadie, the film saw another addition of The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas.
It is scheduled to start filming later this year after Tom Holland wraps up filmmaker Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
The film will be released in theatres on July 31, 2026.

Kaiju No. 8 season 2 release date and streaming platforms confirmed: Anime fans rejoice, call it 'better than Solo Leveling'
Kaiju No. 8 season 2 release date and streaming platforms confirmed: After months of anticipation, Kaiju No. 8 fans finally have something solid to look forward to. The anime's official website and social media accounts confirmed that season 2 is coming this July, which is sooner than fans had expected. The second season will stream globally, just like the first, with Crunchyroll and X carrying the episodes outside of Japan. Along with an announcement, a powerful new key visual showing the Defense Force in full action mode was also released. A look back at Kaiju No. 8's story Based on Naoya Matsumoto's manga, Kaiju No. 8 follows Kafka Hibino, a man who once dreamed of fighting Kaiju but ended up working as part of a clean-up crew instead. His childhood promise to Mina Ashiro, now a Captain in the Defense Force, has long since faded but a chance encounter with a determined recruit named Reno Ichikawa brings back his almost dead passion. What Kafka doesn't expect is the transformation he undergoes, turning into a half-Kaiju himself. As season 1 ended, Kafka's secret was exposed, and he was recruited on a probationary basis to help the Defense Force, which is keeping a very close eye on whether his monstrous side will go out of control. When is Kaiju No. 8 season 2 coming out? Mark your calendars. Kaiju No. 8 season 2 officially premieres on July 19, and for the fans who have been keeping score, that's right in the thick of the Summer 2025 anime season. Where to watch Kaiju No. 8 season 2? The show will air in Japan and stream globally at the same time via Crunchyroll and X. In addition, a new original episode titled Hoshina's Day Off will premiere ahead of the new season on July 5, 2025, as part of the pre-season lead-up. That special was previously screened during the Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon event but is now getting a proper broadcast release, at least in Japan and on X. Fans can't wait to dive back in Reactions of fans have been overwhelmingly positive, with many calling Kaiju No. 8 one of the best action anime in recent years. One user chimed in, 'Better story than Solo Leveling, tbh,' while another excitedly mentioned listening to OneRepublic's Invincible, already treating it like the season 2 soundtrack. The sentiment is clear—viewers are hyped, and July can't come soon enough. 'Eagerly waiting for it,' wrote one fan, while another added, 'About time, one of the best I've seen.' What to expect from Kaiju No. 8 season 2 With Kafka now officially part of the Defense Force, even though he's under a close watch. Season 2 is expected to pick up directly where the first left off, diving straight into the conflict as the Kaiju threat escalates. With Ichiro Okouchi writing the scripts and Shigeyuki Miya directing, the team at Production I.G. looks locked in to deliver something even more intense and character-driven. If the new key visual is anything to go by, we're about to see the Defense Force operating at full strength—and Kafka walking a tightrope between saviour and threat. If you haven't watched season 1 yet, now's the time to catch up. July isn't far off, and from the looks of it, Kaiju No. 8 season 2 is going to be bigger and better than ever.

Millie Bobby Brown and Gaten Matarazzo joined via video call. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the final season since 2022, after Season 4 introduced the menacing villain Vecna. The delay was partly due to the 2023 actors' and writers' strikes, which impacted production schedules.

The series has been one of Netflix's most-watched shows and has won 12 Primetime Emmy Awards. The star-studded cast includes Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Joe Keery, Natalia Dyer, Matthew Modine, Charlie Heaton, Sadie Sink, Priah Ferguson, Joseph Quinn, and Maya Hawke. Linda Hamilton, known for her role in Terminator, will guest star in Season 5. Filming for the final season began in 2024 and wrapped up in December. Creators Ross and Matt Duffer revealed that they spent an entire year filming over 650 hours of footage, describing the experience as 'eight blockbuster movies' worth of material. 'It was super intense and emotional to film — for us and for our actors,' Ross Duffer shared. 'We've been making this show together for almost ten years. There was a lot of crying. There was SO much crying.'
