Sadie Sink's mystery Spider-Man: Brand New Day role continues to be a hotly debated topic online, though we're still no closer to knowing for sure who the Stranger Things and O'Dessa star will play when she makes her MCU debut.

Jean Grey, Mayday Parker, and Black Cat are just a few of the names we've seen floating around since Sink's casting, but Kristan Harloff is reporting that he's heard a "pretty good guarantee" that Sink will play Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

She's certainly a good fit for Gwen, and with Peter Parker likely heading to college, it makes sense to add a character to the mix who defined those years for him in the comic books. If Sink is playing Gwen, we could see her become Spidey's new love interest or perhaps suit up as superhero herself.

In related news, Daniel Richtman is reporting that "There are more villains in Spider-Man: Brand New Day" than those previously reported.

The greatest love of young Peter's life made her big screen debut in 2007's Spider-Man 3, where she was played by Bryce Dallas Howard. Emma Stone took over the role in 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man and returned in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

In the sequel, Gwen was killed by Harry Osborn after he became the "Green Goblin" (or a version of him, at least).

The plan was for her to rise from the dead in The Amazing Spider-Man 3, one of many weird creative decisions the threequel looked set to make ahead of Sinister Six. Another involved Norman Osborn's decapitated head and his own miraculous resurrection.

In recent years, the Multiverse has put a new spin on Gwen by making her Spider-Woman (she counts "Spider-Gwen" and "Ghost Spider" among her other aliases). The web-spinning teenager has taken centre stage in the Spider-Verse movies and will even suit up in season 2 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.

Could Spider-Man: Brand New Day be next? We'll have to wait and see, but we've yet to see the definitive version of Gwen on screen, and Marvel Studios has the opportunity to change that. However, Spidey would no doubt be a little reluctant about romancing his college classmate seeing as Peter #2 mentioned he tragically lost her in his reality.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings helmer Destin Daniel Cretton directs Spider-Man: Brand New Day from a script by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Tom Holland leads a cast that also includes Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, and Liza Colón-Zayas.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released in theaters on July 31, 2026.

Give us the black cat love triangle you cowards !!

SummersEssex - 8/7/2025, 2:26 PM

@ShimmyShimmyYA - no no no no. No love triangles. This isn't one of those crappy YA novel adaptations. That gets in the way of story that actually matters. No love triangle.

FrankenDad - 8/7/2025, 2:32 PM

@SummersEssex - but Black Cat. Meowwwws

TheVisionary25 - 8/7/2025, 2:33 PM

@ShimmyShimmyYA - yeah , Felicia would be fun especially at this stage if Peters life after NWH where he’s isolated & alone which would make her an even more alluring figure to him

Somebody like an Anya Taylor Joy would be great!!.

HelloBoysImBack - 8/7/2025, 3:37 PM

@ShimmyShimmyYA - marvel will take that literally

Lisa89 - 8/7/2025, 2:23 PM

If it's a "rumor", it can't be a "spoiler". If it's a "spoiler", it can't be a "rumor".

@Lisa89 - in another timeline Josh Is seasoned philibuster at congress...His abilities for word salad bullshit Is a super Power on His own

Forthas - 8/7/2025, 2:24 PM

I don't think they would bring in a rising star actress to play Gwen Stacey just to kill her off. I am going to bet she becomes Spider Gwen.

Laridian - 8/7/2025, 2:24 PM

Three Gwens. All redheads with dyed blonde hair. Weird.

Matador - 8/7/2025, 2:27 PM

@Laridian - LMAO and the M.J's are never real red heads!

Wahhvacado - 8/7/2025, 2:40 PM

@Laridian - I'm pretty sure Bryce Dallas Howard was the only natural red head

ObserverIO - 8/7/2025, 4:22 PM

@Laridian - Why break with tradition?

0bstreperous - 8/7/2025, 2:26 PM

Homecoming is in my top 5 the others were ok

Malatrova15 - 8/7/2025, 2:27 PM

Imaginé if they dressed Sadie or Zendaya like their cómic book counterparts....whats the last sexy Character in the MCU? Long gone Is Scarlet in Spandex my boys

GeneralZod - 8/7/2025, 2:27 PM

They finally cast a ginger to play ... not MJ.

UnderBelly - 8/7/2025, 2:50 PM

@GeneralZod - Ain't the first time... Bryce Dallas Howard is/was as SNACK and they made her go blonde too in Spider-Man 3

GeneralZod - 8/7/2025, 2:54 PM

@UnderBelly - Right you are!!

dagenspear - 8/7/2025, 2:58 PM

@GeneralZod - Keeping in line with the older movies. A red head to Gwen, like Raimi's. lol.

GeneralZod - 8/7/2025, 3:24 PM

@dagenspear - Yep. but it is ironic that 23 years worth of Spider-Man movies (8 of them?) and not one natty red has played MJ.

ObserverIO - 8/7/2025, 4:25 PM

@GeneralZod - Shailene Woodley was close. She had some natural red in her hair. But she got booted off because of fanboys on some comic book movie website.

FrankenDad - 8/7/2025, 2:31 PM

This history of miscasting hair color in the Spider-Man movies is fascinating to me.

Blonde played MJ in SM1
Redhead played Gwen in SM3
Redhead played Gwen in ASM 1&2
Redhead playing Gwen in MCUSM4

Lisa89 - 8/7/2025, 2:45 PM

@FrankenDad - Not so fast.

@Lisa89 - whoa whoa whoa, you know what I mean.

Let’s not split hairs.
Hairs.

ManofSteel79 - 8/7/2025, 2:31 PM

John Rocha says his sources are saying Mayday Parker in the same conversation. I don't know that this means a whole lot.

MouthyMerc - 8/7/2025, 2:35 PM

I mean let’s be honest, if Gwen Stacy never died Peter would have ultimately married her and started a life with her and there would be no MJ. I’m curious to see if in the MCU Gwen never dies and Peter ends up with her instead of MJ.

PC04 - 8/7/2025, 2:35 PM

Would've tried to get Emma Myers instead. Weird choice.

jj2112 - 8/7/2025, 2:38 PM

I'd love to see a movie with Peter in his 20s, having trouble yo pay the rent, doing his laundry in a laudromat, shrinking his costume (and once becoming Bag Man) and avoiding his neighbours sunbathing on the roof to get into his apartment as Spidey. And fighting street villains like Rosa, the Maggia and Hobgoblin. That's the version of Spidey I love the most.

SATW42 - 8/7/2025, 2:41 PM

It would be such a gut punch for THIS Peter to find Gwen only to have her die too. Parker is Spider-Man, Spider-Man is Parker. He needs SOMEONE to be with him to keep him tethered so to speak.

TheVisionary25 - 8/7/2025, 2:46 PM

If true then I could see Sadie Sink as Gwen Stacy tbh (also ,the second natural redhead to play the blonde character aswell)…

She’s a good actress and could portray the character well depending on the take of course.

It could be fun to see Holland’s Peter befriend and possibly develop feelings for this Gwen while being aware of Garfield’s variant having lost his thus trying to keep her at arms length aswell.

Anyway ,we’ll see but while I wouldn’t mind her being Gwen , I still do hope she’s playing a character that we haven’t seen in live action yet like Carlie Cooper etc.

Apophis71 - 8/7/2025, 3:20 PM

@TheVisionary25 - Or just have Gwen majorly crushing/hitting on Peter whilst he is still in love with MJ and doesn't notice/rejects the advances could be interesting.

I'd still prefer they avoid Gwen for now and do Black Cat first, not keen on love triangles however so....

TheVisionary25 - 8/7/2025, 3:47 PM

@Apophis71 - that could be an interesting angle too

I do hope this rumor is false aswell since I would like a fresh character (though like MJ , they could always give her a new spin).

dagenspear - 8/7/2025, 2:54 PM

It's not that her facial features don't look it, but the actress is years younger than Tom Holland and, well, the obvious thing, her hair's red. I know this is MCU Spidey where they seemed to have tried desperately to just not have any of the supporting cast have almost no visual similarities to their comic counterparts, Betty's a blonde for no reason whatsoever, I don't see Zendaya's hair as red really at all in the movies (Some characters are whatever to me, but these ones stand out more for me)... but... Gwen not having blonde hair (and maybe they'll dye it, if she is playing Gwen, or maybe like Emma Stone she's secretly blonde or whatever) I think is a pointless visual separation from the character to me. And her being a red head, almost seems like a purposeful jab kinda. Not saying it's the case, but it'd be odd to me if she was.

SATW42 - 8/7/2025, 3:00 PM

@dagenspear - 29 vs 23 in Hollywood is nothing, especially when holland is as baby faced as he is and we're meant to believe he's in college.

Huskers - 8/7/2025, 2:58 PM

Eh, not really a fan of this. Peter’s already suffered some major tragedies, losing Aunt May, losing all his friends because they had to forget him. We all know Gwen is fated to die. May be a bit much at this point.

dagenspear - 8/7/2025, 3:01 PM

@Huskers - Do you think they'll kill Gwen?

CaptainFlapjaks - 8/7/2025, 3:00 PM

I personally believe she is mayday parker, which will be tobey's daughter. This can tie into the multiverse stuff while also still being street level.

If she is gwen, my guess is she is playing the spider gwen version who may have dimension hopped. Given the age difference i feel she wouldnt be peters love interest, but maybe miles's love interest.

TheVisionary25 - 8/7/2025, 3:10 PM

@CaptainFlapjaks - I don’t think there’s gonna be a multiverse element in this now honestly but could be wrong…

Also Sadie is 23 and Holland is 29 but looks younger so I think it could work however wouldn’t be surprised if she stays on past this film that we get her as Spider Gwen given the popularity of that character.

dagenspear - 8/7/2025, 3:00 PM

But, if she is Gwen, it'll be another funny case of a apparent red head being cast to play the blonde Gwen, like Bryce Dallas Howard in the Raimi Spider-Man 3. God is funny! Jesus is Lord! Love the Holy Spirit!
