Stranger Things continues to dominate pop culture conversations even after its final chapter, and its stars remain in high demand across Hollywood. One of them is Sadie Sink, whose casting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already sparked massive curiosity among Marvel fans. With her role being kept tightly under wraps, theories have taken over social media, ranging from her playing a classic Spider-Man character to an entirely new addition created specifically for the MCU. 

With Marvel’s next Spider-Man era beginning to take shape, another Stranger Things alum, Joe Keery, wants to be a part of Peter Parker’s world.

While Sadie Sink's casting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is confirmed with her role and plot a hush-hush, online chatter has increasingly pointed towards Joe Keery as a potential Harry Osborn pick, especially since the Brand New Day era in the comics heavily features Peter’s complicated friendship with Norman Osborn’s son.

These rumors were recently addressed by Keery in an interview with ScreenRant, speaking to journalist Liam Crowley while promoting his upcoming project Cold Storage. Rather than shutting down the speculation, Keery leaned into it with humor, acknowledging that he is well aware of what fans have been saying online. Keery joked that he is familiar with Spider-Man, referencing the viral TikTok edits imagining him as Harry Osborn, adding that

“It’s fun to entertain," he said in the interview. 

Despite the fun, he also kept things realistic, suggesting that casting decisions are largely out of an actor’s control unless Marvel officially comes calling.

“I guess you just keep your eyes open, and you read a ton and just hope for the best, I guess. But sure. Come on. Where’s the script? Let’s go,” Keery said. For now, Marvel has not confirmed anything, but his comments have only fueled the surrounding excitement.

While a Marvel role hangs in the air, Joe Keery’s career trajectory shows he is already operating at blockbuster-level momentum.

While fans still associate Joe Keery with his breakout role as Steve Harrington, his post-Stranger Things career has been steadily growing into something much bigger. Over the years, he has carved out a strong filmography that mixes comedy, thrillers, and prestige drama.

One of his most buzzed-about recent projects is the horror-comedy Cold Storage, which has Keery stepping into another genre-heavy role, something he has become known for outside of Hawkins.

Keery also gained attention for appearing in Fargo Season 5, a critically praised installment of the anthology crime series, proving he can hold his own in darker and more dramatic storytelling. Add with his past film credits like Free Guy and Spree, it is clear Keery has been building the kind of versatile resume.

Whether he lands the rumored Harry Osborn role, Joe Keery has already positioned himself as one of the most in-demand actors from the Stranger Things generation.
