The Marvel Cinematic Universe is abuzz with news that Sadie Sink has been cast in the MCU‘s upcoming Spider-Man 4. Her distinctive red hair has prompted widespread speculation that she might portray the iconic character Mary Jane Watson. While not the MJ Watson from the comics, the MCU timeline has a version of MJ played by Zendaya, leading some to wonder whether Zendaya will return in Spider-Man 4.

Marvel Has Not Confirmed Zendaya’s Spider-Man 4 Casting

At the time of writing, Marvel Studios has officially confirmed the return of Tom Holland as Peter Parker and the addition of Sadie Sink to the Spider-Man 4 cast. Notably absent is any official confirmation regarding Zendaya’s involvement in the upcoming film. In the past, Marvel often secured actors with multi-film contracts spanning six or more movies. However, recent trends indicate a shift away from such long-term agreements, suggesting that Zendaya may no longer be contractually obligated to reprise her role as MJ.

This shift doesn’t preclude the possibility of her return, but it does leave her participation uncertain. The introduction of a new character, potentially Mary Jane Watson, could signal a new direction for Peter Parker’s storyline. Audiences eagerly await further announcements to see how these casting developments will shape the narrative of Spider-Man 4.
