What We Know About Sadie Sink Playing Mayday Parker In Spider-Man: Brand New Day
New Delhi:
Rumours about Sadie Sink joining the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day had unleashed a ripple of excitement among fans ever since its announcement in March. However, not many details about Sadie's onscreen character was revealed.
Multiple fan theories have been making the rounds, where people believed that she might play the role of Jean Grey, while some predicted she might play Firestar or Mary Jane Watson. There were also speculations of Sadie playing Lily Hollister, popularly known as the villain Menace. The latter theory was one of the most viral ones online.
But an interesting turn of events took place when industry insider John Rocha appeared on The Hot Mic podcast and made fresh revelations about Sadie Sink's character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Seems like she might not be essaying the character of a villain at all, instead she has been roped in to play Mayday Parker, daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.
Rocha said, 'My source heard Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker. So, connecting to the Tobey universe. She's his daughter."
Further details also revealed that Sadie's character timeline will be different from Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but closer to Toby Maguire's Peter Parker.
The makers might be planning for a multiverse storyline, that could eventually lead to Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
For the unversed, Mayday Parker's character first made an appearance in What If...? #105 by Marvel Comics. Her journey eventually results in her taking powers from her father and becoming a Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman in her own might. While this character has appeared previously in the animated film Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Sadie Sink playing the said role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day would be a first in a live-action film.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, and is slated to hit theatres on July 31, 2026.

While Taylor Swift chills with Selena Gomez, Travis Kelce hangs out with Patrick Mahomes and brother Jason in KC
Travis Kelce hangs out with Mahomes and brother Jason in KC (Getty Images) While Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez lit up New York City with a glamorous girls' night, Travis Kelce brought the house down in Kansas City during a star-studded charity weekend that proved he's not just a powerhouse on the football field. Travis Kelce parties in Kansas City with Mahomes while Taylor Swift catches up with Selena Gomez in NYC On Saturday, May 31, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end attended the 16th annual Big Slick Celebrity Weekend, an event that's become a major fixture in the city's philanthropic calendar. Held at the T-Mobile Center, the comedy show raised a whopping $4.5 million for Children's Mercy Hospital — a figure that speaks volumes about the heart behind the laughs. Kelce wasn't just another face in the crowd. The NFL star showed up in style, rocking a sleek black Palm Angels tracksuit and a Miracle Academy trucker hat, instantly catching the eye of fans and fellow celebrities alike. Clips from the evening showcased his infectious energy — from catching a football tossed into the audience to lifting Ant-Man actor Paul Rudd like a linebacker in the end zone. He was also seen laughing it up with actor Jason Sudeikis and goofing around with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his brother Jason Kelce, who made a surprise appearance despite retiring from the NFL earlier this year. In one memorable moment caught on video, Travis wrapped an arm around Jason as they grooved along to music, embodying the brotherly bond that fans of their New Heights podcast have come to love. Mahomes, ever the charismatic team leader, mingled in the background, sharing laughs with guests and showing his support for the cause. Back in New York, Taylor Swift marked a personal and professional milestone with longtime bestie Selena Gomez. The pop icon recently regained ownership of her first six studio albums — a career-defining move that sent waves through the music industry. After a lengthy battle with former manager Scooter Braun over the rights to her masters, Swift took control by reportedly buying them back for a staggering $360 million. 'You belong with me. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤,' Swift wrote in a clever nod to her hit song, announcing the acquisition with a series of photos showing her surrounded by those early records in a portrait studio. The moment was celebrated across social media, with Gomez posting on Instagram Stories: "Yes you did that Tay. So proud!" Later that night, the two were spotted deep in conversation over dinner at Midtown's Monkey Bar, where the restaurant had closed early for a private event. Swift looked radiant in a black dress, while Gomez wore a chic brown ensemble. Though it wasn't clear whether the pair were behind the bar's early closing, the timing seemed fitting — the evening felt like a private toast to one of Swift's biggest victories yet. As Taylor and Selena celebrated empowerment and independence in New York, Travis led the charge for community and compassion in Kansas City. Different cities, different vibes — but together, Swift and Kelce reminded fans that no matter how high their star rises, their roots still matter.
