Marvel fans, get ready—Spider-Man 4 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting entries in the MCU, and a recent casting call has dropped some major hints about the characters joining Tom Holland’s next web-slinging adventure.
Sadie Sink Joins the MCU—But as Who?
The casting call describes a “sharp and free-spirited woman with a mysterious past,” someone who is “strong-willed, intelligent, and not easily intimidated.” While the character’s identity is still under wraps, speculation is running wild that Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) could be playing either Mary Jane Watson or Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. Black Cat.
If she’s MJ, this would be a huge shake-up from Zendaya’s version of the character. But if she’s Felicia Hardy, it could mean Spider-Man 4 is introducing a morally complex anti-hero with romantic tension—something we haven’t seen in the MCU’s Spidey films yet.
A Female Villain Enters the Scene

The casting call also includes a description for a female villain, aged 30s to 50s, with a “powerful and commanding presence.” This has led many to believe that Spider-Queen (Adriana Soria) could be making her big-screen debut. In the comics, she has spider-based abilities and can control others—definitely a formidable opponent for Peter Parker.
The Osborns Are Coming?
The casting call includes two male characters:
- A “resourceful young man in his early 20s.”
- A “no-nonsense authority figure aged 30s-50s.”
Fans are convinced these descriptions point to Harry and Norman Osborn, which could signal the return of the Green Goblin to the MCU. If true, this would be a major development for Spider-Man’s rogues’ gallery, especially after Willem Dafoe’s unforgettable performance in No Way Home.
Spider-Man 4 Release Date
Marvel Studios has set the release date for Spider-Man 4 on July 31, 2026. With new allies, new enemies, and a fresh direction for Peter Parker, the hype for the next chapter is already sky-high.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer to production!
