The star Tom Holland is already confirmed to return as Peter Parker.
However, neither Marvel nor Sony has officially confirmed this information.
What Role Will Sadie Sink Play?
There is still no confirmation on which character Sink will portray in the movie, but the leading fan theory suggests she could be introduced as Jean Grey from the X-Men. However, there’s also a possibility that she will take on another iconic red-haired character from the Spider-Man universe.
Regardless of the role, it is expected to be significant, especially since the last film in the franchise, *Spider-Man: No Way Home*, ended with Peter Parker deciding to complete Doctor Strange’s spell, erasing his identity from the world.
Cast Changes
If the storyline follows this direction, it is likely that Holland’s former co-stars will have reduced screen time, making way for new characters. Sink would be the first major addition to the cast.
For the actress, this role comes at a crucial moment in her career, right after wrapping up filming for the final season of *Stranger Things*, the Netflix series that catapulted her to stardom in Hollywood. The last season is one of the most anticipated releases of 2025 and is set to premiere later this year.
Now, we await an official confirmation from Marvel and Sony regarding the cast and the start of filming for the new *Spider-Man* movie.
