SPIDER-MAN 4: Sadie Sink's Mystery Role Opposite Tom Holland Reportedly Revealed - SPOILERS

Following yesterday's bombshell report that Sadie Sink had joined the cast of Spider-Man 4, a reliable source has now seemingly revealed her mystery role and it's one that's very familiar to CBM fans...

Since it was announced yesterday that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink had joined the cast of Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' upcoming Spider-Man 4 in a "significant" role, speculation has been running rampant on who she might play, with the early favorites being Spidey mainstays Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, Felicia Hardy, or Angelica Jones. 

While it may be a while before we get any sort official reveal from the studios, Jeff Sneider, during tonight's installment of The Hot Mic with Jeff Sneider and John Rocha, has seemingly revealed her role and it seems as though she will indeed be playing Mary Jane Watson. 

Sneider, if you remember, was the first to break the story that Sink was the frontrunner for Jean Grey in Marvel Studios' X-Men and admits to being surprised that Sink was announced for Spider-Man 4 instead of the mutant reboot, but says he heard from his sources last night that Sink will likely be playing Watson, not Jean Grey. 

With Zendaya playing the MCU's Michelle Jones-Watson, it will definitely be a surprise for fans to hear that a second MJ could soon be introduced, but considering that the film will be set inbetween the events of the multiversal blockbusters Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, there's a very good possibility Sink will be playing some variant of the web-slinger's most iconic love interest. 

Following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, it's been long expected that Zendaya and much of the original cast would take a bit of a backseat in the upcoming Spidey sequel for story reasons, as well as Zendaya's other film/tv commitments, so we've known for quite some time that a new leading lady would likely co-star with Holland, although many were expecting the film to introduce Black Cat, rather than a new Mary Jane. 

Additionally, Sneider notes that, if Sony were to include Jean Grey (or any X-Men character) in Spider-Man 4, the studio would have to give a co-producer credit to Lauren Shuler Donner, which the studio presumably doesn't want to do. 

He does say one, possibly two, big MCU characters are still expected to appear in the film, but he's not yet sure who they could be. Previously, Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Samuel L. Jackson and Cobie Smulders were in Spider-Man: Far From Home, and then, of course, Benedict Cumberbatch and Benedict Wong featured in Spider-Man: No Way Home

He also adds that some of the names he's reported on recently, like Julia Butters and Harris Dickinson, while he's heard they're certainly in the mix for X-Men roles, are actors Marvel Studios likes overall, so, if another opportunity presents - similar to Sink and Spider-Man 4 - there's always a chance those actors could accept different roles, especially with X-Men in the very early stages of development and still without a director. 

Spider-Man 4 is set to swing into theaters on July 31, 2026!

So is she in college? Be weird if they went a certain way and she's in high school.

@Mrtoke - Why would she be in high school?

@abd00bie - Peter was in high school when Tom was well into his 20s. It's a simple question.

@Mrtoke - It makes no sense to have Peter college age and his potential love interest to be in high school, why even go there? Only weirdos think of this stuff.

@Mrtoke - Peter didn't meet Mary Jane whilst he was in High School in the comics, and in the MCU he is now in college and too old to date anyone in High School as No Way Home was three year ago meaning he should be at least for year older than a High School student.

It will most likely be an MJ from another timeline however considering it is after Doomsday thus well into incursions territory with multiverse aspects even if that isn't what most of us want for his next solo film.

@abd00bie - like I said, it was a simple question. They already played with that when Zendaya came back from the snap still in high school while one of the boys, older, was still crushing on her.

This is so dumb. Why tf would they introduce another MJ. Even if zendaya wasn’t the “real” MJ, like just commit to that. Why do we need both. I was really hoping neither rumor was true because it’d be just as stupid to put Jean grey in there. Nothing I’ve heard about this movie has me excited.

@thunderpun573 - Because Zendaya was never the iconic Spider-Man character Mary Jane Watson. Feige was clear about that from day 1. And people wanna see iconic Spider-Man characters in the Spider-Man film series.

@thunderpun573 - Because it's like the quote from Hank in Days of Future Past "Time is immutable. It's like a river: you can throw a pebble into it, create a ripple, but the current always corrects itself." So Peter had an MJ but deleted his existence and he has to have an MJ so now he will get a Mary Jane Watson.

@thunderpun573 - She wasn't just MJ, she was MJ Watson as we discovered her full name to be Michelle Jones-Watson in NWH. This is just stupid and confusing to the GA.

Why do we keep having articles from unreliable sources and title it “Confirmed”. This podcast is notoriously an unreliable source of rumors.

@MrDandy - yeah it's weird. Especially from the guy that got it wrong initially. I'm not really putting stock in it

If true, Sadie will be Holland's first European-American love interest of the series.

He's practicing diversity! 🤓

@SuperiorHeckler - Both Laura Harrier and Zendaya were European-American.

(Laura Harrier's mother is of Polish and English descent and Zendaya's mother is of German and Scottish descent)

@ObserverIO -

"I Have Pride in Knowing That I'm an African-American" -Zendaya (Essence, October 27, 2020 online article)

Laura Harrier's father (Temujin Harrier) is African American. You wish to make an argument that she is bi-racial, go right ahead. But then again; President Obama was not hailed as the first "Bi-Racial POTUS" either. 🤓

@SuperiorHeckler - But you didn't say non-bi-racial. You said european-american. They are both both bi-racial and of european-american descent.

I haven't heard anything that intrigues me about this movie

If it's a sequel to Doomsday they are already doing too much
Repian

@0bstreperous - If it's a sequel to Doomsday, the universes are merging, so the emergence of a new MJ is possible.

@Repian - I can't wrap my head around another multiverse drama

@0bstreperous - You might wanna buckle up. After Thunderbolts the next 4 or more movies are gonna be one big multiverse epic. It'll be like a ... like a Multiverse Saga!

@0bstreperous - I can. I just prefer not to bother.

@ObserverIO - just give me the soft reboot already of course I'm looking forward to the Avengers movies but that's the last I want to see about the multiverse
