Sadie Sink, whose star was launched into the stratosphere by Stranger Things, is in the middle of scorching rumors linking her to two top Marvel productions: Spider-Man 4 and the new X-Men reboot. Marvel Studios and Sink have not addressed the rumors, but fans are already buzzing about the possibility of the up-and-coming actress joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
According to industry sources, Sink is said to be in the running for a key role in Spider-Man 4, which is already in early development. While details about the plot and characters are minimal, insiders say that the film will introduce new allies and adversaries to Tom Holland’s Peter Parker. Sink’s reported casting has also given rise to speculation that she will be cast as a character like Gwen Stacy or Black Cat, both of whom are highly associated with Spider-Man in the comic books.
Other than the Spider-Man rumors, Sink is also said to be in talks for a role in Marvel’s highly anticipated X-Men reboot. The film, which brings the mutant superhero squad into the MCU, will allegedly see the classic characters reimagined with new approaches to Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm. While nobody has any idea what character Sink will play, there have been rumors that she would make a great fit for the part of Kitty Pryde or Rogue.
The speculation has sparked general excitement among the fans, who have welcomed Sink’s acting talent and versatility. “Sadie would be an amazing addition to the MCU,” a fan tweeted. “She’s already proved she can handle heavy, dramatic roles, and she’d bring so much depth to any character.”
Seemingly naturally lifted by the new star power, Sink is the obvious choice for the emerging extension of the Marvel universe. Since a breakout role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, she has received attention as a performer in The Whale and Dear Zoe. Her skill of showing fragility as well as strength has enabled her to become a popular darling and a hot new property in Hollywood.
Though unsubstantiated, rumors are reflective of Marvel’s ongoing efforts to bring new faces to the MCU. With Phase 5 and beyond entering the scene with new heroes and storylines, the studio is clearly determined to cash in on its success by casting new up-and-coming actors like Sink.
So far, supporters would need to wait for Marvel or Sink’s representatives’ official announcements. However, just speculating that she might turn up in the MCU has already started to trigger thousands of casting wishlists and fan theories.
Whether or not she swings into combat as a Spider-Man sidekick or joins the ranks of the X-Men, Sadie Sink’s potential casting in these endeavors is an indication of her rising fame within the entertainment industry. As the situation remains uncertain, one thing is certain: her joining the MCU would be a win for Marvel as well as its fans.
