Sadie Sink Rumored to Play Gwen Stacy in SPIDER-MAN: BRNAD NEW DAY — GeekTyrant
Internet scooper Kristian Harloff claims he's heard something 'pretty close to guarantee' about Sink stepping into the shoes of Gwen Stacy. This is something fans have been speculating about her character since she was cast.
Other theories have ranged from Mayday Parker to Mary Jane Watson to Felicia Hardy, but if this report is true, Gwen Stacy could be swinging back into live-action.
If confirmed, Sink would be the third actress to take on the role. Bryce Dallas Howard played Gwen in Spider-Man 3 (2007), while Emma Stone brought her to life in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its sequel, where Gwen met her tragic end after Harry Osborn's Green Goblin caused her fatal fall. That version of the franchise reportedly had plans to resurrect her in a third movie that never happened.
In the comics, Gwen is Peter Parker's college classmate and one of his great loves. With Tom Holland's Peter heading off to college in Brand New Day , introducing Gwen now would fit neatly into the timeline. Marvel has also reinvented the character in recent years as Spider-Woman, better known as 'Spider-Gwen', a hero who's become a central figure in the animated Spider-Verse films.
On top of the Gwen Stacy rumor, its been rumored that Brand New Day will feature more villains than fans expect. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton with a script from Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the movie stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, and Liza Colón-Zayas, with several surprise roles still under wraps.
Marvel Studios has Spider-Man: Brand New Day set for release on July 31, 2026. The studio has yet to confirm Sink's involvement as Gwen Stacy, so for now, fans will have to wait for the official word.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Continues Big Box Office Dive With 61% Drop
Disney and Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps — which had a steep drop in business in its second Friday to Sunday frame — is continuing its big box office dive in its third weekend in theaters. The third and Marvel Cinematic Universe release in 2025 after Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps found solid footing in its opening weekend in theaters July 25-27 with a domestic take of $115.6 million. The film's second weekend, Aug. 1-3 proved disastrous, however, as the film's $38.6 million domestic tally marked a 67% drop in business. Any hope for a turnaround in the film's third Friday to Sunday for The Fantastic Four quickly dissipated this weekend, though, as Deadline released its projections for the Aug. 8-10 North American box office. As of Saturday, the trade publication projected that The Fantastic Four: First Steps will earn $15 million from 3,600 North American theaters, marking a 61% drop from last weekend's already ailing numbers. Should the $15 million projection by Deadline hold, it will boost The Fantastic Four: First Steps' domestic tally to $229.9 million. The Fantastic Four: First Steps, per Variety, had a production budget of $200 million-plus before prints and advertisting costs. 'Superman's' Business Only Drops 41% In Weekend No. 5 The Fantastic Four: First Steps' main competitor for the top-grossing superhero movie of 2025 — James Gunn's Superman — is projected to make $7.8 million in its fifth weekend in theaters following its opening on July 11. The projected tally marks a $43% drop in business from the film's fourth weekend in theaters. Should Deadline's projection hold, this weekend's box office will boost Superman's domestic take to $331.2 million. Given Superman's solid hold at the box office and The Fantastic Four's downhill slide, DC Studios' Man of Steel film is poised to handily defeat the latest MCU chapter by the time each film wraps its theatrical run. The Fantastic Four: First Steps' drop to third place at the domestic box office comes in the wake of the strong performances of two newcomers — the Warner Bros. horror thriller Weapons and Disney's Freaky Friday sequel Freakier Friday. Weapons is projected by Deadline to earn anywhere from $40 million to $43 million in its opening weekend, while the trade publication pegs a $30 million to $32 million first frame for Freakier Friday. The final numbers for this weekend's box office will be released on Monday.

Today's NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers For Sunday, August 10
In case you missed Saturday's NYT Mini, you can find the answers here: The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays. Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives. The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer. To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course): FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder NYT Mini Crossword Clues And Answers ACROSS 1) Try to tag - CHASE 6) Fictional sports icon with a statue by the Philadelphia Museum of Art - ROCKY 7) Loosen, as laces - UNTIE 8) Trigger for a werewolf's transformation - MOON 9) "It's freezing!" - BRR DOWN 1) Table tidbit - CRUMB 2) Pay homage to - HONOR 3) Driver, Cooper or Butler - ACTOR 4) Poisonous part of a poison dart frog- SKIN 5) Needle opening - EYE This was definitely a speed run day without a doubt. Even if you know only half the clues, that's enough to fill in the blanks to race toward the not-that-difficult other half. You can start with the only fictional sports icon you can probably even name, Rocky, and move on from there to werewolf moons or shivering from the cold. The only mildly tricky one was about Adam Driver, Bradley Cooper or Austin Butler, but by the time you got _CTOR it was kind of self-explanatory. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
