Spider-Man 4 Enlists a Star from Stranger Things

The production for Spider-Man 4 is heating up! As filming for the fourth installment of Peter Parker's adventures is set to begin in a few weeks, Marvel and Sony Pictures are keeping details about the project under wraps. Besides Tom Holland's confirmed return, little information has been shared. What is known is that Daniel Destin Cretton will be directing, a first for the franchise which previously relied on Jon Watts.

Deadline has revealed some crucial casting news: Sadie Sink, known for her role as Max in Stranger Things, has joined the project. This marks her first foray into the MCU, and while details about her character remain undisclosed, it's speculated that she has been given a significant and surprising role.

There's speculation that Sadie Sink might portray Jean Grey, given Marvel's interest in integrating previously Fox-held characters into their cinematic universe after acquiring 20th Century Fox in 2019. This would also be the first time an X-Men character is played by a different actress from previous films. Spider-Man 4, which currently has no official title, is slated for release on July 29, and it remains unclear if Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will reprise their roles.
