RUMOR: Sadie Sink's SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Role Revealed - And She's Tied To Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker

Speculation about who Sadie Sink will play in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been running rampant for months now, but this latest rumour points to her playing the daughter of Peter Parker and Mary Jane...

Rumblings that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink was being eyed to play Jean Grey in Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot first did the rounds earlier this year. However, we've since learned that she will star in Spider-Man: Brand New Day (and not as the powerful psychic).

Sink's role has been kept under wraps, but on The Hot Mic podcast, John Rocha revealed what he's heard. Apparently, the actress is playing Mayday Parker, the daughter of Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker/Spider-Man. 

In the comics, May "Mayday" Parker is the first child of Peter and Mary Jane Parker in a future, alternate universe. In that reality, Kaine reunited the couple with the baby they believed died during childbirth; in a later battle with the Green Goblin, Spidey lost a leg and decided to retire from crime-fighting. 

Mayday eventually gained powers of her own as a teenager and donned Ben Reilly's Spider-Man suit to fight Normie Osborn (the Green Goblin's grandson, who set out to restore his family's name as a new Goblin). 

If correct, this confirms that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a Multiversal tale, a decision which makes sense with the movie swinging into theaters between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars

Jeff Sneider, meanwhile, also chimed in to say that Sink's character will likely be a friend to Tom Holland's Peter, filling the void left by MJ and Ned. He added that Mister Negative will be Spider-Man: Brand New Day's villain, with a secondary female villain, likely played by Sarah Snook. Sneider also didn't discount the possibility of Steven Yeun playing the MCU's Martin Li.

We'll see what happens, but there are several convincing signs that Spidey will battle Mister Negative, a newer addition to the character's rogues gallery (he debuted during the "Brand New Day" era in the late 2000s), who filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton could do a lot with. 

"This is news to me. This is news to me," Sink has said of the possibility of playing Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day"No, I have nothing to say about this. The rumours are really cool, though. It's an awesome rumour. I know the character. It's a great character, so that was cool to read."

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been dated for July 31, 2026, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings helmer Destin Daniel Cretton directing from a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Would you like to see Sink play Mayday Parker in the MCU?

[frick] SONY FOR FORCING MULTIVERSE UPON THIS MOVIE

@OptimusCrime - That's the price we have to pay for No Way Home making nearly $2 billion at the box office. There was a rumor last year (or the year before) that Sony was considering having every Spider-Man movie moving forward being a multiverse one.

@TheJok3r - Marvel Studios need to cut ties after Secret Wars.

elcapitan - 5/16/2025, 8:03 AM
@ObserverIO - why? So we can go back to TASM/Morbius/Kraven quality filmmaking with a new Spiderman?
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 5/16/2025, 8:32 AM
@elcapitan - Or with Tom Holland. But yeah. Let Sony fail on their own. They obviously don't want Marvel's help. And when they fail, Marvel can buy the rights back at a more reasonable price.

@OptimusCrime - I am far from a Sony apologist (frankly, I loathe them as a company) but to be fair, Sony is playing the hand they're dealt. The multiverse is where the MCU is right now, and they're playing in that sandbox.

No thanks. I rather see a Spider-Man 4 that's a sequel to the Maguire/Raimi trilogy set in that universe with Mayday as the lead. Keep multiverse out of this one

I like Mayday Parker, but damn I'm really hoping the next entry stays away from the multiverse and is a more street level focused film.
elcapitan
elcapitan - 5/16/2025, 8:05 AM
@ModHaterSLADE - seriously? Enough whining about this. It takes place between Doomsday and Secret Wars. Of course it’s going to be a multiversal movie. Street level wouldn’t make sense in Battleworld.
ModHaterSLADE
ModHaterSLADE - 5/16/2025, 12:24 PM
@elcapitan - Yes, SERIOUSLY. And who TF are you clown to tell people what they're allowed to want see in a movie?

Get off your delusional high horse keyboard badass.

@ModHaterSLADE - LORD willing, insulting isn't right.

Jesus is Lord! Love and worship God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit! God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.

@TheLobster - Blame the general audience, not Sony. Their last multiverse movie made nearly $2 billion. People are unfortunately more interested in gimmicks, rather than actual good storytelling.

Steven Yeun for Mr. Negative I can dig it I like him as Invincible

@Thing94 - that would be great but I don’t see it happening after he bailed on Thunderbolts
StSteven
StSteven - 5/16/2025, 11:54 PM
@Thing94 @JustAWaffle - I've only really seen Yeun in "TWD" (that I can recall anyway), but I think that he's a very talented actor and the thought of him playing a villain... oh hells to the yes. Plus casting him as Mr. Negative for this movie would give it even more heft, so if Sony is so intent on replicating the financial success of the last SM film (which they seem intent on doing), having a name like Yeun as a lead will definitely help.
