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.

Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man 4” Set for July 2026 With Destin Daniel Cretton as Director

The date is officially set - Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man will be happening in less than two years, as The Hollywood Reporter reports that the untitled “Spider-Man 4” will be released on July 2026!

Holland’s new Spidey film will presumably pick up where things left off in No Way Home - with a clean slate where the world doesn’t know who Peter Parker is and he continues to soldier on as your friendly neighborhood wallcrawler. The film will be directed by “Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings” director Destin Daniel Cretton, and shooting is expected to begin next summer for Tom - whose schedule will also be packed due to filming Christopher Nolan’s new film alongside Matt Damon and possibly for Avengers: Doomsday as well. Both of those movies are also getting 2026 release dates too.

The untitled new Spidey film hits US theaters on July 24, 2026.
