Sadie Sink will make her MCU debut in Spider‑Man 4 this summer. As a result, fans have been buzzing with rumors about which character she will portray. Interestingly, however, Sink first learned about her casting through the internet, long before Marvel officially reached out.
The actress, who rose to fame with Stranger Things, is no stranger to fan speculation. Similarly, just like her previous projects, Marvel Studios has kept tight control over plot details and character arcs in the MCU. As a result, this secrecy has only fueled online theories, making Sink’s casting even more exciting for fans.
How the Internet Led to Her Casting
During her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sink discussed joining the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the fourth installment in the Spider-Man solo series. She admitted that the secrecy surrounding the project has been both exciting and challenging.
Sink revealed:
“It’s torture. There’s so much speculation, too. I feel like there’s a new character every week. I tell people. The people I know.”
Interestingly, in fact, online fan theories had predicted her involvement long before Marvel officially offered her the role:
“I found out through online theories. Before I got cast, there was speculation online that said, ‘Sadie Sink is gonna be in the new Spider-Man.’ I was like, ‘I am?’ Sure enough, two days later, they asked me to do it. So, yeah. Those theories, there’s sometimes some truth to it.”
This revelation highlights the growing influence of fan speculation in the MCU era, where online communities often predict casting decisions long before studios confirm them.
