Recent news about the cast of Avengers: Secret Wars has sparked excitement that a surprising X-Men character might appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While most of the focus is currently on Avengers: Doomsday, set to release in December 2026, the Secret Wars cast announcement—including Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom and members of the New Avengers and Fantastic Four—hints at the possibility of X-Men heroes joining the mix. Secret Wars will conclude Phase 6 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2027.
Okay, so I was reading Deadline about Sadie Sink – you know, Max from Stranger Things – and her upcoming stage debut, and they accidentally revealed some huge Marvel news! Apparently, she’s going to be in the next Avengers movie, which is filming in London later in 2026. It’s pretty much confirmed she’ll be in Avengers: Secret Wars after she makes her first appearance in the MCU with Spider-Man: Brand New Day. We don’t know her role in Brand New Day yet, but the fact that she’s also confirmed for Secret Wars is making me think she’s going to be a really important character, maybe even connected to the X-Men stuff Marvel’s planning!
Sadie Sink Could Be Playing Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
With Sadie Sink officially joining the cast of Avengers: Secret Wars, speculation about her role is intensifying, and many fans believe she’ll be playing Jean Grey. Rumors began circulating about Sink potentially taking on the part due to her acting skills, her age, and her natural red hair – all qualities that fit the iconic X-Men character. Jean Grey is a powerful mutant with telekinetic and telepathic abilities, and Sink has consistently demonstrated the acting range needed to portray such a complex and important figure in the Marvel universe.
Sadie Sink quickly became a well-known actress after joining Stranger Things in season 2, and has since proven herself to be incredibly talented and adaptable. She’s impressed viewers in films like Fear Street, Dear Zoe, and The Whale, and has also gained recognition for her stage work in Broadway’s John Proctor Is the Villain, with another stage role in Romeo & Juliet planned. Her acting ability, combined with her age and growing popularity, makes her an excellent candidate to play a younger version of Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
We’ve seen pictures from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day showing Sadie Sink wearing camouflage pants, but it’s still a mystery what role she’ll play alongside Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Mark Ruffalo’s Hulk, and others. Many fans speculate that Brand New Day could introduce Jean Grey, with Sink taking over the role previously played by Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner in the X-Men movies. If Jean Grey appears in 2026, it would be a major development for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, paving the way for a new X-Men team and shaping the MCU’s future for years to come.
