Star Wars Rey Joins Spider-Man 4? Daisy Ridley Rumored for Marvel Role

by

Summary

  • Marvel Studios is reportedly considering Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley for a role in Spider-Man 4.
  • Daisy Ridley’s potential involvement in Spider-Man 4 may not conflict with her Star Wars filming schedule.
  • Ridley’s connection to Disney and Tom Holland makes her casting in Spider-Man 4 plausible, but the rumor is still unconfirmed.

There’s a buzz about potential castings for the upcoming “Spider-Man 4”. It’s said that an actor from the “Star Wars” franchise might be in contention to share the screen with Tom Holland, and Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fans are already brainstorming who this actor could portray.

It seems that Spider-Man 4 is progressing after years of disputes between Marvel Studios and Sony about the sequel’s narrative. Reportedly, Marvel Studios wanted a grounded street-level tale for Spider-Man 4, while Sony was pushing for another Multiverse adventure possibly featuring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. As things stand now, it appears both parties have come to an understanding, with rumors suggesting that Spider-Man 4 might introduce a new supporting cast as part of director Destin Daniel Cretton’s plans to breathe fresh life into the character. Recently, there’s been a new rumor about the potential new cast members for Spider-Man 4 that could offer fans some insight.

The Spider-Man 4 Cast May Have Its Eyes on A Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Actor

As a movie enthusiast, I’m excited to share a potential scoop that’s been buzzing around the web: Marvel Studios might be considering Daisy Ridley, known for her role as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, for a part in Spider-Man 4. The specific role she might play is yet to be revealed, but fans have been brainstorming their predictions and suggestions on social media.

Interestingly, Ridley was once rumored to embody Spider-Woman in Olivia Wilde’s then-developing project about the heroine. However, that Sony project seems to have taken a backseat for at least a year now. With this in mind, some fans speculate that Ridley could step into the shoes of Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman as part of the Spider-Man 4 supporting cast.

Other popular fan theories suggest that Ridley might play Felicia Hardy/Black Cat or Gwen Stacy instead. As always, take these casting rumors with a pinch of salt until official announcements are made. Let’s wait and see who’ll be weaving their web in the upcoming Spider-Man adventure!

Does Daisy Ridley Have Time To Film Star Wars and Join The Spider-Man 4 Cast?

Daisy Ridley will once again play Rey Skywalker in Lucasfilm’s future Star Wars film titled Star Wars: New Jedi Order, according to Daniel Richtman’s reliable sources. It’s been suggested that this indicates she won’t be part of Spider-Man 4, as fans have assumed based on reports about the Star Wars movie starting production next year. However, Spider-Man 4 isn’t expected to start filming until summer 2025 for a July 2026 release. If the Star Wars film doesn’t begin shooting until 2026, Ridley’s schedule should ideally be open for Spider-Man 4, unless there are significant delays in its production.

It’s not unreasonable to imagine Ridley being cast in Spider-Man 4, given that she was considered for the now seemingly defunct Spider-Woman movie. This would have already placed her on Sony’s radar. Moreover, Ridley is part of the Disney family, as a member of the Star Wars franchise (which is owned by Disney along with Marvel). Lastly, Ridley and Tom Holland, the actor playing Spider-Man, previously starred together in Chaos Walking, so if their working relationship was positive, Holland could potentially advocate for her.

Certainly, what follows is pure speculation, stemming from an unverified report. While some Marvel enthusiasts eagerly anticipate Ridley’s potential MCU debut, others express apprehension about the cast changes in Spider-Man 4, fearing it might be a risky move. As of now, we can’t predict whether Marvel Studios and Sony’s creative choices for Spider-Man 4 will prove successful. At this juncture, however, many fans are growing impatient and yearn for the movie to finally be released.

Spider-Man 4 is scheduled to be released in theaters on July 31, 2026.
