A new rumor has added fuel to ongoing speculation surrounding Spider-Man 4. New reports suggest that Sadie Sink’s rumored role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day may have finally been identified, pointing to a significant character addition as the franchise moves into its next chapter.
Sadie Sink’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day Role Isn’t Mayday Parker
Internet scooper Kristian Harloff revealed that he heard a “pretty close to guarantee” about Sadie Sink taking on the role of Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This report adds to months of online speculation, with previous fan theories linking Sink to characters like Mayday Parker, Mary Jane Watson, and Felicia Hardy.
If accurate, this would mark Gwen Stacy’s third live-action portrayal. Bryce Dallas Howard first played the character in Spider-Man 3 (2007), followed by Emma Stone in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) and its sequel. Gwen died in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 after a fall caused by Harry Osborn’s Green Goblin. The abandoned third film reportedly planned to resurrect her.
In the comics, Gwen was Peter Parker’s college classmate and love interest. With Tom Holland’s Spider-Man expected to start college in Brand New Day, Gwen’s inclusion would align with the comic timeline. In recent years, Marvel has reimagined Gwen as Spider-Woman, also known as “Spider-Gwen” or “Ghost-Spider,” who now leads the animated Spider-Verse films.
In addition, Daniel Richtman reports that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will include more villains than previously revealed. Destin Daniel Cretton directs the film, while Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers wrote the screenplay. The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, Sadie Sink, Michael Mando, and Liza Colón-Zayas. Several surprise roles remain under tight wraps.
Marvel Studios plans to release Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31, 2026. The studio has not confirmed Sadie Sink’s role in the film. Gwen Stacy’s appearance also remains unverified, with key character details kept secret ahead of the marketing rollout.
