A new rumor floating around about the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day suggests Sadie Sink will be playing an iconic character in the fourth Spider-Man movie.
Who is Sadie Sink rumored to be playing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
In the latest episode of Jeff Sneider and John Rocha’s The Hot Mic podcast, the pair discuss Sink’s role in the next Spider-Man movie. Sneider mentions that, as far as he’s heard, Sink will be playing an alternate universe version of Gwen Stacy, Peter Parker’s first love.
While Sink’s role in the film is unconfirmed as of now, many initially believed her to be playing May “Mayday” Parker, Peter Parker’s daughter. The early rumors suggested that Sink would be the daughter of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Kirsten Dunst’s Mary Jane Watson, adding a multiversal twist to the upcoming film.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is being directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously helmed the MCU film Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which was released in 2021. Cretton was also attached to direct the fourth Avengers movie for a time, back when it was called Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but stepped down from the position in November 2023.
According to Deadline, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon are both expected to return as MJ and Ned in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Official plot details for the movie remain under wraps at this time.
Sony’s Amy Pascal and Marvel’s Kevin Feige are both producing the film, which will begin production later this year.
Spider-Man 4 will be released in United States theaters on July 31, 2026, with the film releasing ahead of Avengers: Doomsday (December 18, 2026) and Avengers: Secret Wars (December 17, 2027) following Doomsday’s delay.
