Spider-Man 4 set photos spark speculation over Sadie Sink possibly playing Gwen Stacy
While Marvel has not confirmed Sink's character, images shared on social media appear to show someone resembling the Stranger Things star with blonde hair on set. This has led many fans to suggest she could be playing Gwen Stacy, a well-known character from the Spider-Man comics. However, others remain unconvinced the person in the photos is actually Sink, and there is no official confirmation that Gwen Stacy will appear in the film. Plot details for Spider-Man: Brand New Day remain under wraps.
Sink is not the only new addition to the cast whose role has yet to be revealed. Liza Colón-Zayas, known for The Bear, has also joined the project in an undisclosed part. The film will also feature Jon Bernthal returning as Frank Castle/The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo reprising his role as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, and Michael Mando returning as Mac Gargan/Scorpion, a character last seen in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017).
Directed as part of Marvel's Phase 6, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to release in U.S. theaters on July 31, 2026. It will be followed later that year by Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, with Avengers: Secret Wars set for release on December 17, 2027.

Reynolds fuels speculation over 'Deadpool' return
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious image on Instagram this week, reviving speculation about his return in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The post, which featured the Avengers logo defaced with Deadpool-style red graffiti, instantly grabbed attention across social media. The stylised design — resembling both the iconic Avengers "A" and an anarchy symbol — has been interpreted by fans as a deliberate hint at the wisecracking anti-hero's involvement in the film. Reynolds' portrayal of Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in the Marvel pantheon since the release of Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). His most recent outing, last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, became a global phenomenon, raking in $1.3 billion at the box office and uniting him on screen with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the first time under the Marvel Studios banner. Despite the character's success, Marvel's official "big chair" cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday did not include Reynolds. However, the film's sprawling, multiverse-driven storyline — combined with Deadpool's unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking nature — has kept speculation alive for months. The timing of Reynolds' post is also fuelling excitement. Marvel is deep into production on Doomsday, and insiders suggest that another major cast announcement could be imminent. The film, which is slated to release ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, is being positioned as a pivotal chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), bringing together characters from multiple timelines and franchises. Filming has been under way for several months, with set photos revealing appearances by Sam Wilson's Avengers line-up, members of The Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four, and even legacy X-Men characters. Leaked images have shown actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reprising their roles from the former Fox X-Men films. The return to the Fox X-Men universe has only heightened hopes for a Deadpool & Wolverine reunion within Doomsday. Given Reynolds' history of teasing fans with playful misdirection, many are reading the Instagram post as more than just a joke. Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. A spokesperson declined to comment on casting rumours, saying only that Avengers: Doomsday will feature "some of the most unexpected alliances in MCU history." For now, the speculation game continues - and if Reynolds' online track record is anything to go by, fans can expect more cryptic clues before the studio makes anything official. Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for worldwide release in May 2026.

Daredevil: Born Again season two could be the last, says Charlie Cox
Actor Charlie Cox has suggested that the upcoming second season of Daredevil: Born Again could mark the end of the Disney+ series. Speaking at GalaxyCon, the Daredevil star revealed that the latest season, which recently wrapped filming, includes a storyline element not found in the original Marvel Comics — a hint that the show may conclude. 'There's something we do in this final season that doesn't exist in the comics,' Cox told fans during the panel, fueling speculation about the show's future. His comments left some viewers disappointed, especially given that Daredevil: Born Again only debuted earlier this year as a reboot of the fan-favorite Netflix series. However, co-star Vincent D'Onofrio, who portrays Wilson Fisk/Kingpin, offered a different perspective. Responding to a fan on social media, D'Onofrio suggested there is 'a good chance' the series could continue into a third season, leaving the question open. Even if the Disney+ series concludes with season two, the character of Daredevil will remain active in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cox is set to reprise the role in the upcoming Spider-Man trilogy and future Avengers projects. In the comics, Daredevil frequently teams up with Spider-Man, indicating his storyline will extend beyond the streaming series. Uncertainty also surrounds the future of Kingpin in the MCU. While the character could continue appearing in other Marvel titles, his arc may wrap with Daredevil: Born Again or the forthcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Daredevil: Born Again is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ in Spring 2026, ahead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Marvel fans will have to wait for official confirmation on whether season two will indeed be the last.

Heather Matarazzo meets Gaten Matarazzo after years of mistaken identity buzz
Heather Matarazzo has finally crossed paths with Stranger Things star Gaten Matarazzo, putting a playful twist on a long-running case of mistaken identity. The Princess Diaries actress shared a smiling selfie with the 22-year-old actor on Instagram and TikTok, writing, 'Finally got to meet my 'son'. What an absolute delight he is.' The post was a nod to years of speculation from fans who believed the two might be related, largely due to their shared last name and similar facial features. Many had even assumed Heather was Gaten's mother, with social media comments over the years repeatedly questioning their connection. The reality is far simpler: they are not related at all. Gaten's real mother is also named Heather Matarazzo, but she is not the Hollywood actress. His parents, Heather and Gaetano Matarazzo Jr, raised him in New Jersey alongside siblings Sabrina and Carmen. The actress Heather Matarazzo, now 42, has been married to writer Heather Turman since 2018 and has no children. Back in 2022, Heather directly addressed the ongoing mix-up in a TikTok duet. In the video, she shook her head and mouthed 'I'm not' in response to a clip suggesting she was Gaten's mum. She followed it up with another video praising the actor's talent but making it clear that she could not claim him as her son. Fans reacted with amusement to the recent meeting, with some still expressing disbelief that there was no family link. Others playfully suggested casting Gaten as Heather's son in a future Princess Diaries instalment. Heather remains a beloved figure for her role as Lilly Moscovitz in The Princess Diaries and recently joined the cast of Wednesday for its second season, while Gaten continues to win praise for his performance as Dustin Henderson in Stranger Things. The long-awaited meeting between the two has now given fans a satisfying full-circle moment.
