Sadie Sink Might Play Mayday Parker In Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Last Updated:
Mayday Parker, the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson, first appeared in Marvel Comics in What If…? #105 in 1998.
Ever since Sadie Sink's name has been linked to Spider-Man: Brand New Day, fans have been busy guessing who she might play. The announcement came in March, but her character was never officially revealed. That led to all sorts of speculation. Some believed she might take on the role of Jean Grey. Others guessed that she might play Firestar or even Mary Jane Watson. Then came another round of rumours that Sadie could be playing Lily Hollister, better known as the villain Menace. That theory spread fast online. Many thought it made sense for the story.
However, a new update has changed the direction of the discussion. It turns out, Sadie might not be a villain at all. Instead, she could be stepping into the shoes of a superhero. On a recent episode of the podcast The Hot Mic, industry insider John Rocha shared what he heard from a trusted source. According to him, Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker—the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson.
Rocha also mentioned that this Mayday won't be connected to Tom Holland's Spider-Man. She is said to be part of a different timeline, one that links her to Tobey Maguire's version of Peter Parker. That means she could be playing the daughter of Tobey's Peter and Kirsten Dunst's Mary Jane.
Rocha said, 'My source heard Sadie Sink is playing Mayday Parker. So, connecting to the Tobey universe. She's his daughter."
If this is true, the film may include a multiverse storyline. That could bring Sadie's Mayday into contact with Tom Holland's Spider-Man.
More About Mayday Parker
Mayday Parker first appeared in Marvel Comics in What If…? #105 in 1998. In different comic runs, she takes on the names Spider-Girl or Spider-Woman. She inherits powers from her father and becomes a hero in her own right. Her character made animated appearances in 2023's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. But if this casting rumour turns out to be true, this would be her first time in a live-action film.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton is still putting together the rest of the cast. One of the most recent additions is The Bear star Liza Colón-Zayas. But her role in the film is also being kept under wraps for now.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to begin filming later this year after Tom Holland finishes shooting for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
The film is scheduled to hit theatres on July 31, 2026.
