People Are Confused About Sadie Sink's Casting In "Spider-Man 4" And Freaking Out About Zendaya
The Stranger Things alum's character in the Spiderverse is yet to be revealed, but has plenty of people speculating that she could be replacing Holland's girlfriend and co-star, Zendaya.
But others are guessing that Sink could be taking on the role of Jean Grey, a hero with telekinesis and telepathy, involved in the X-Men comics.
Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures haven't commented on the growing rumours. The Spider-Man sequel is set to release in July 2026.
The internet is sharing their reactions on X (formerly known as Twitter) and obviously, they've got plenty of questions. Mostly, everyone is just freaking out...
Here's how they're taking the news:
1.
this is so dumb i love sadie down but the whole mary jane / mj discourse is bs, zendaya IS the love interest. https://t.co/b6oDIXe7WI

she's not gonna be playing mj just because she's a redhead omfg you guys that scene in nwh where the other spideys watch mcu petermj and talk about their own love interests from their respective movies solidifies that zendaya's mj is IT for tom holland's peter parker https://t.co/voXlYLfyL6

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. #SpiderMan4

Introducing a Mary Jane Watson as an actual love interest, after spending 3 movies calling Zendaya's character MJ (Michelle Jones) Watson, because they refused to let her be Mary Jane, would be very... yeah (derogatory) https://t.co/KtSSw8ye2x

sadie sink is such a talented actress and i'm so happy for having her in the next spider-man film! but just a reminder, her being redhead doesn't mean she's playing mary jane.
zendaya is already playing the mcu portrayal of mj and is confirmed to return for spider-man 4. pic.twitter.com/A5ktpBPsOI

Fan-Favorite 'Severance' Actor Cast in 'Spider-Man 4'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The "Spider-Man 4" (aka "Spider-Man: Brand New Day") cast is starting to take shape. The fourth film in the Tom-Holland-led Marvel series has already revealed that series regulars will return for the sequel, including Zendaya's M.J. Jones-Watson and Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds. More news: James Gunn Drops Major News on Which DCU Films Are Releasing Next Joining the series regulars are MCU fan-favorites Jon Bernthal as Punisher and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. Also, Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas have been cast in mysterious new roles. Now, the "Spider-Man 4" film has just dropped another major casting. Episode 2, Goodbye Mrs. Selvig, follows Milchick as he visits his workers to learn more about the uprising on their innies. They are, unsurprisingly, shocked. Episode 2, Goodbye Mrs. Selvig, follows Milchick as he visits his workers to learn more about the uprising on their innies. They are, unsurprisingly, shocked. Apple TV+ More news: 'Super Troopers 3' Sequel Gets Massive New Update Tramell Tillman, famous for potraying Seth Milchick from "Severance," has now joined the already expansive cast of "Spider-Man 4." Tillman's role has not been revealed, and he joins Sink and Colón-Zayas as the mysterious actors so far. There are a lot of rumors regarding the new film, including the theory that Miles Morales might finally be making his MCU debut. Reports indicated that Kevin Feige stated the Morales character should not emerge in the MCU into the "Spider-Verse" films are finished, but that could be a smokescreen. It could be that the addition of Colón-Zayas and Tillman could play the part of Morales' parents. The character's parents in the comics and "Spider-Verse" films are of African American and Puerto Rican descent, respectively. Marvel is generally great at hiding things, so the studio could be throwing out nuggets of information to throw fans off theories that may or may not be true. Either way, Tillman being added to the cast should be exciting. He exploded with his portrayal of Milchick in "Severance," leading to his landing receiving an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, as well as SAG and Independent Spirit Award nominations. It will be exciting to see who Tillman ends up playing, along with the mysterious roles for the aforementioned actors added to this new sequel. For more comics news, head to Newsweek Comics.
