Sadie Sink Is Doing Spider Things, Joins Next 'Spider-Man' Movie
Maybe it was Sink, not Silk, all along
If I only could make a deal with Mephisto, and get him to obstruct Peter’s faces. Sadie Sink, who is coming off of a four-season run as Max Mayfield on Netflix’s Stranger Things, has landed a significant role in the fourth Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starring alongside the returning Tom Holland as Peter Parker.
What role is unknown, but rumblings that she’s Jean Grey of the X-Men have been prevalent since December. Considering the most recent film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, concluded with Peter making the decision to complete Doctor Strange’s spell that erases his identity from the world, the new life he is left having to build is bound to include a new supporting cast to surround himself with before more pointedly working to rebuild Ned and MJ’s memories. Surely Peter would find a way to blend the two phases. The four and a half+ years between the two installments is already a long time for them to be benched, but you don’t want such a meaningful ending to be undone to bring them back into the fold without it being worked for. That is, if she even is one of Peter’s new allies.
Next 'Spider-Man' Movie Gets Destin Daniel Cretton To Direct, 2026 Release Date
Just as Venom completed their trilogy, Sony and Tom Holland are ready to start his second as Spider-Man. The fourth Spider-Man film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has its script, its director in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings’s Destin Daniel Cretton
Once Sink got big off of Stranger Things, her resume was built by being Ziggy Berman and ancestor Constance in the latter two films in Netflix’s initial Fear Street trilogy, the lead girl in Taylor Swift’s long music video for “All Too Well”, and as Ellie, the teenage daughter of Brendan Fraser’s Oscar-winning role of Charlie in The Whale. Sink next has the Searchlight musical O’Dessa, which just premiered at SXSW before its release on Hulu next week. She’ll be making her Broadway debut with the play John Proctor Is the Villain starting April 4.
The next Spider-Man film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and produced by Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, will begin shooting once Holland (and Zendaya) are done shooting Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of the Greek epic The Odyssey. The two films open two weeks apart from one another, with the former opening on July 31, 2026.
'Malcolm In The Middle' Gets 4-Episode Disney+ Revival
There was a lot touted in the leadup to Disney+’s launch over 5 years ago, like the Lizzie McGuire revival that crashed only a few episodes into production and a raft of library shows from Disney-owned studios ex-Fox and not. One of those was the beloved 2000-2006
