People Are Confused About Sadie Sink's Casting In "Spider-Man 4" And Freaking Out About Zendaya
It was just announced that Sadie Sink is entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Tom Holland's upcoming Spider-Man sequel.
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

Dakota Johnson Opens Up About Who's To Blame For Marvel's ‘Madame Web' Failure
Dakota Johnson has no regrets about 'Madame Web,' despite the 2024 Marvel superhero film being deemed a critical and commercial flop. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times this week, Johnson said the film's failure 'wasn't my fault' and was, instead, due to 'a lot of creative decisions' made by 'people who don't have a creative bone in their body.' 'It's really hard to make art that way. Or to make something entertaining that way,' she explained. 'And I think unfortunately with 'Madame Web,' it started out as something and turned into something else. And I was just sort of along for the ride at that point. But that happens. Bigger-budget movies fail all the time.' Directed by S.J. Clarkson, 'Madame Web' stars Johnson as Cassandra Webb, a paramedic whose brush with death awakens dormant psychic powers. In addition to Johnson, the film features an all-star supporting cast, which includes Emma Roberts, Adam Scott and Sydney Sweeney. Reviews for 'Madame Web' were largely negative, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it 'an airless and stilted endeavor driven by a mechanical screenplay.' The film reportedly cost about $80 million to produce but raked in a measly $25.8 million in its opening week, making it the lowest box office opening in the history of Sony's 'Spider-Man' franchise. Johnson, who returns to the big screen in the romantic comedy 'The Materialists,' has previously hinted at her frustrations with 'Madame Web.' 'Unfortunately, I'm not surprised that this has gone down the way it has,' she told Bustle in March of last year, shortly after the film was released. 'I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again because I don't make sense in that world. And I know that now.' 'But sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it's one thing and then as you're making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you're like, Wait, what?' she added at the time. 'But it was a real learning experience, and of course it's not nice to be a part of something that's ripped to shreds, but I can't say that I don't understand.' Johnson offered a more pragmatic take on the situation in her Los Angeles Times chat, telling the outlet: 'There's no part of me that's like, 'Oh, I'll never do that again' to anything. I've done even tiny movies that didn't do well. Who cares?' Fortunately for Johnson, early buzz on 'The Materialists' ― which also stars Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal ― has been positive. Critics who have screened the movie thus far have called it 'a brutally realistic and beautiful examination of love,' while praising Johnson as 'a perfect imperfect protagonist.'
