Sadie Sink Joins the Cast of the Next MCU Spider-Man Film

 

It looks like things are shaking up for Tom Holland's next adventure as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as a big breakout star from Netflix's "Stranger Things" has joined the cast! 

According to Deadline, Sadie Sink has been cast in a still undisclosed role - but the rumors are leaning to either Jean Grey - which would help introduce the X-Men, or the actual redhead Mary Jane. Since Zendaya is already playing a version of MJ Watson in the MCU, having Sadie play Jean is actually more promising if the rumor holds water.

Either way, it's still a long way off until Spider-Man 4 hits - and it will be directed by Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton for a July 2026 release.
