Sadie Sink, known for her role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, is reportedly joining Tom Holland in Spider-Man 4. Deadline reports that Sink, whose film debut was in the 2016 film Chuck, will appear in the upcoming MCU movie. Filming is slated to begin later this year, with a release date of July 31, 2026. Marvel and Sony have declined to comment.

Deadline speculates Sink's role could be either Jean Grey or another popular redheaded Spider-Man character, hinting at Mary Jane Watson. However, how this would impact Peter Parker's relationship with MJ (Zendaya) remains unclear. Deadline suggests Sink will have a significant role, potentially acting as a reset following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter's identity was erased.

Holland is currently filming Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, with Spider-Man 4 filming to commence afterward, according to Deadline.

Late last year, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige hinted at the introduction of X-Men characters in upcoming MCU films. He mentioned "some X-Men players that you might recognize" in the next few MCU movies, without specifying characters or films. Feige further stated that the Secret Wars storyline will usher in a new era for mutants and the X-Men.
