Spider-Man 4‘s recent casting announcement is not only very exciting, but it could allow Tom Holland’s big MCU dream to finally become a reality. The story of Spider-Man 4 is still mostly under wraps, but that has not stopped a big reveal from being made ahead of the film’s mid-2025 shooting date. This announcement came in the form of Sadie Sink’s Spider-Man 4 casting, with the Stranger Things star set to play opposite Tom Holland in the next installment of the Web-Slinger’s journey.
With both the theory that Sink is playing Mayday Parker and Tom Holland’s MCU hopes in mind, Spider-Man 4 could fulfill both. If Sadie Sink is introduced as Mayday Parker due to Spider-Man 4‘s potential multiversal storyline, Holland’s Spider-Man could finally become a mentor as the actor wishes. Mayday Parker could need someone to teach her the ropes if ehs is just starting as Spider-Girl, with Holland’s character taking on the challenge.
is could be the MCU’s way of avoiding a potential clash with Sony Pictures. Sony is currently using Miles Morales as the focus of the studio’s Spider-Verse series, which has long been rumored to potentially transition into a live-action film. Via Sink’s casting, Marvel Studios could allow Holland’s dream to come true by giving him someone to mentor, all while subverting expectations, tying Spider-Man 4 to Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker, and giving Sink a hero role she could play for years to come.
