Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Sadie Sink is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The “Stranger Things” star has been cast in “Spider-Man 4,” in which she’ll share the screen with Tom Holland as the teenaged, web-slinging Avenger.
It’s unclear who Sink will portray in the comic book adventure, though Deadline, which first reported the casting news, hinted that her role will be “significant.” The outlet also posited that Sink could play “X-Men” mutant Jean Grey, a character who has been brought to the screen in the past by Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner.
Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, which releases the “Spider-Man”-centric films in Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe, couldn’t be reached for comment.
Plot details on the fourth “Spider-Man” installment haven’t been revealed. In the third entry, 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Peter Parker accidentally breaks open the multiverse and allows for two prior Spider-Men, Tobey MaGuire and Andrew Garfield, to all appear in the same reality.
