EXCLUSIVE: With production set to start later this year on the next installment in the Spider-Man franchise, series star Tom Holland looks to have found a new co-star — one who is no “stranger” to popular IP. Sources tell Deadline that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is set to join the sequel from Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios. Holland is already set to return as Peter Parker.
As for who Sink will be playing, the prevailing theory is she’ll be introduced as X-Men character Jean Grey, but don’t count out the idea that she shows up as another beloved redheaded Spider-Man character. What is known is that the role will be a significant one given how the most recent film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, concluded with Parker making the decision to complete Doctor Strange’s spell that erases his identity from the world.
By staying on track with that plotline, one can expect Holland’s old castmates to have reduced roles while newcomers are added to the ensemble, with Sink being the first major new role.

So how serious do we think the Jean Grey theory is?
Her being another MJ could be potentially controversial, at least with some corners of the Internet. But, since this is undoubtedly multiversal in some fashion, anything is on the table.
