Marvel Studios is reportedly searching for a female lead villain for Spider-Man 4, aiming to cast an actress between 30 and 50. While the specific character remains unknown, speculation points to possibilities like Black Cat, Lady Octopus, Silver Sable, or Spider-Queen. Some believe the film might adapt elements of the Spider-Island storyline.
Stranger Things star Sadie Sink has joined the cast in an undisclosed role, fueling theories about her playing Mary Jane Watson, Jean Grey, or possibly even the film’s antagonist.

Though official details are still under wraps, more information is expected as production moves forward later this year.
The Current ‘Spider-Man 4’ Villain Favorite Might Be a ‘Succession’ Alum
A new rumor suggests that Succession star Sarah Snook, known for her Emmy-winning performance, maybe in consideration for the villain role in Spider-Man 4. While Marvel Studios has yet to confirm the character’s identity, speculation continues to grow. Snook has been a popular fan pick for Silver Sable, a character who was once set to star in a Sony solo film before plans fell through.
With Marvel casting a wide net for the role, Snook is among several actresses who could fit the part. Many believe the movie may adapt the Spider-Island storyline, featuring Spider-Queen as the main antagonist. While a multiverse element remains possible, Marvel has yet to reveal official details. Production is expected to begin this summer, bringing more clarity in the coming months.
