LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: With the casting for Fantastic Four underway and a glimpse into its alternate universe storyline, fans are already looking ahead for another highly anticipated Marvel project: 'Spider-Man 4'.

Rumors suggest a fresh start for Peter Parker is on the cards, but the details remain shrouded in mystery. The first hints concerning Sam Raimi's return to the director's chair came to light after Thomas Haden Church's interview with Comic Book. 

Now, another rumor has social media swinging with the possibility of another much-adored name joining the highly-anticipated project.

Sydney Sweeney rumored to be joining 'Spider-Man 4' cast

This new link to 'Spider-Man 4' is making fans buzz with excitement and it's none other than 'Euphoria' fame Sydney Sweeney.

The rumor came to light with an X post of the user (@MyTimeToShineHello). The post reads, "Just confirmed, Sydney Sweeney IS IN."

The post didn't mention the movie's name, but many fans are assuming this has to do with 'Spider-Man 4'. In particular, one fan wrote: "She was made for Black Cat!!!"

Fans demand Sydney Sweeney as Marvel's 'Black Cat'

Her rumored involvement in 'Spider-Man 4' has fans making theories about the possibility of her playing Black Cat (Felicia Hardy), a new love interest for Tom Holland's Peter Parker, distinct from MJ.

A fan wrote: "I’m being deadass when I say Sydney Sweeney as Black Cat would be some of the best CBM casting ever. Do it Marvel."

On the other hand, one fan talked about the previous 'Madame Web' mishap, noting: "Say whatever tf you want but Sydney Sweeney deserves better when it comes to MARVEL. That sorry excuse of Madame web was disgusting. The 3 main actresses especially Sydney who was hyped to be in marvel deserved actual good roles and a good story even if it’s the villain."

"Black cat would be great especially with her martial arts background and acting skills," claimed another. A fourth joined the discussion, stating: "God, just make her Black Cat and be done with it. She's perfect for the role."

For some it is a dream come true thing, as they wrote: "Sydney Sweeney in Marvel web-swing? <3 Dreams can come true!"

What are the latest updates regarding 'Spider-Man 4'?

There are chances that the story will pick up after the multiverse-altering events of 'No Way Home', where Peter sacrificed his identity to save the world.

Will we see him navigate a lonely existence this while, or will his friends somehow find their way back to him? Only time will tell. 

With writers already crafting the script, a 2026 release date seems more likely than the previously rumored end of 2025. Concrete details concerning the project remain under wraps, but potential return of director Sam Raimi, actor Tom Holland, and the introduction of a new love interest are sure to get fans talking!
