Rumors about Emma Myers starring in Spider-Man: Brand New Day as Gwen Stacy have been swirling online. An X account related to Marvel has even posted it in bold letters, saying the news is “CONFIRMED.” However, there seems to be no official sources that verify Myers’ casting.

Myers’ career has been going steadily, and most know her as the colorful werewolf roommate to Wednesday Addams in Netflix’s Wednesday. Viewers online have frequently fan-cast her as Gwen Stacy, but for now, it’s only a speculation and not a fact.
So, let’s look at how Sadie Sink might already be ahead in the competition to play Gwen despite fans wanting Myers to portray the character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Is Sadie Sink Playing Gwen Stacy in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Instead?
Deadline has confirmed that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink will join Spider-Man: Brand New Day in a major role. But who she might be playing is still kept under wraps, though netizens believe it can be anyone from Jean Grey to Gwen Stacy.
No character for Sink has been locked down publicly, yet one prevailing theory is that she could be Jean Grey, given the X-Men’s building presence in the MCU. Comic Book Movie reports that Sink’s role might be codenamed Anabelle Adams.
Now, that is a reference to a little-known character from the comics, tied to Kaine Parker and Shathra. This has also led people to believe that she could be a composite persona, or even someone whose identity is disguised until the point of a big reveal!
Why Wednesday Star Emma Myers Has Been a Top Fan Choice for Gwen Stacy
While Sadie Sink is the confirmed new face in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, many people would be more than happy if Emma Myers were cast as Gwen Stacy. On Wednesday, her version of Enid Sinclair has such liveliness, along with moments of warmth, vulnerability, and courage, that you’d think Myers can play almost anyone!
Here’s an overview of Myers’ work:
She acts as an emotional counterweight to Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams, who leans toward being more dark and brooding. Myers certainly looks the part, almost like she’s tailor-made for the role, but after her layered performance in the supernatural series, people can see her as the smart, kind, and independent Gwen from the comics.
So, would you rather Myers or Sadie Sink as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man?
Spider-Man will release in theaters on July 31, 2026 (USA).
