Fans have created impressive artwork imagining Sadie Sink – known for her role as Max in Stranger Things and recent performances in films like The Whale and Fear Street – as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sink is set to appear in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and with her also confirmed for Avengers: Secret Wars, excitement is building about which character she’ll play. This fan art offers a compelling look at how she might fit into the MCU.
In March 2025, Sadie Sink was confirmed to be joining the cast of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. This news followed speculation that the Stranger Things actress was being considered for the role of Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Jean Grey remains a possibility, fans have also enthusiastically suggested Sink for other parts, including Mayday Parker, Felicia Hardy, Julia Carpenter, and even Mary Jane Watson. Recently, fan art by @arifinity_ on Instagram depicting Sink as Gwen Stacy’s Spider-Woman has become particularly popular, fueling excitement about her potential role.
Why Sadie Sink Would Be Great as the MCU’s Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Sadie Sink recently addressed rumors about potentially playing Jean Grey by jokingly pointing out that actors can change their hair color. This comment has led fans to speculate she might instead be cast as Gwen Stacy in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day series, and many believe she’d be a great fit. Gwen Stacy first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1965 and was Spider-Man’s (Peter Parker’s) initial love interest, before Mary Jane Watson. While famously killed off by the Green Goblin in 1973, Gwen has been brought back in different forms over the years.
Gwen Stacy has appeared in live-action Spider-Man films with actresses like Bryce Dallas Howard and Emma Stone portraying her. More recently, she’s been a key character in the animated Spider-Verse movies, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld. However, because Steinfeld already plays Kate Bishop in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe, she likely won’t reprise the role. This opens the door for Sadie Sink to take on the part of Gwen Stacy, particularly now that Tom Holland’s Peter Parker and Zendaya’s MJ are no longer together.
After the world forgot Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home, Gwen Stacy would be a perfect romantic partner for him. Fan art by @arifinity_ shows why Sadie Sink would be fantastic in the role, and even suggests she could become Spider-Woman with her own superhero costume. This could lead to her return in Avengers: Secret Wars and significantly expand the Spider-Man corner of the MCU. Set photos from Spider-Man: Brand New Day show Sink in a tactical outfit, hinting she might be playing a key ally to Peter Parker.
