Jeff Sneider reported in December 2024 This sink was the precursor to play Jean in the “X-Men” restart of Marvel Studios. The deadline also notes in its casting ad that “the dominant theory is [Sadie Sink] will be presented as the character of X-Men Jean Gray. “At the same time, the article admits that Sink could, in fact, play Mary Jane instead.
Holland’s “Spider-Man” films also presented guest stars: Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury in “Far From Home”, then Tobey Maguire and Peter Parkers by Andrew Garfield, as well as all their main bad guys, in “Not Way Home”. (Not to mention Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange.)
Perhaps Marvel intends to use “Spider-Man 4”, a guaranteed blow, to soak his “X-Men” restart for the Marvel cinematographic universe. Like Spider-Man, X-Men are generally heroes of adolescents, there are therefore common points to explore. Peter and Jean, however, do not have much comic story to build. This The exchange of “Ultimate Spider-Man” by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley is the most memorable conversation they have had:
Again, in “Ultimate Spider-Man”, Peter dated from the Kitty Pryde of the X-Men for a little-maybe the new film “Spider-Man” will do this scenario, but with Jean (n ° 1 X-Woman) rather than Kitty? John would also be a temporary interest in Peter, who would leave the door open to bring the MJ of Zendaya.
Admittedly, bringing MJ and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) would undermine the end of “No Way Way” and his themes of responsibility; Batalon, in particular, said that he would not mind sitting on future “Spider-Man” films. But as Holland and Zendaya are a real power torque now, the temptation to bring MJ to be strong.
“Spider-Man 4”, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, should temporarily open its doors on July 31, 2026.
