Stranger Things star Sadie Sink will join Tom Holland in the fourth ‘Spider-Man’ film, set a theatrical release for July 31, 2026.   Filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is helming the film, that is currently untitled. Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna penned the screenplay.

It’s unclear who Sink will portray in the comic book adventure; Holland teased the fourth film last year during an appearance on Good Morning America, saying, “The idea is crazy. It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.”

Deadline, which first reported Sink’s casting news, hinted that her role will be “significant,” with the outlet also sharing 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.

Holland was last seen onscreen as the web-slinger in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which surpassed $1.9 billion at the global box office. That film was helmed by Jon Watts, who also directed Holland in Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019).
