Kalshi 13% · 20 contracts · $117 volume · medium confidence

Why this matters:
This contract reflects the estimated likelihood that actress Sadie Sink will be cast in Marvel Studios' next theatrical X-Men film. The 5% probability suggests markets view her casting as unlikely relative to other potential candidates, as shown by comparable contracts pricing Harris Dickinson at 7%. The probability would rise if credible reporting indicated Marvel was pursuing Sink for a specific mutant role, or if industry insiders confirmed her involvement in upcoming X-Men casting announcements. It would fall if Marvel officially cast competing actors or announced X-Men film timelines that excluded her. The key uncertainty driver is the timing and scope of Marvel's next mutant-focused film—currently unscheduled with no announced cast. Resolution will depend on official Marvel Studios announcements regarding X-Men project greenlight and cast reveals, likely occurring at major studios events or through trade publications.

Key factors:
- No X-Men film has been officially announced by Marvel Studios with production timeline or cast as of July 2026
- Sink's primary recent visibility derives from Stranger Things; comparable young actors being priced 7% or higher suggests her odds reflect limited perceived alignment with Marvel's likely casting direction
- Marvel's track record shows casting decisions for major ensemble properties involve A-list or emerging action-adjacent talent, creating competitive disadvantage for most individual candidates
- The contract's 5% baseline appears consistent with general background probability for any single actor in an unannounced casting pool of 50+ viable candidates
- Harris Dickinson at 7% represents the current market's highest-priced individual actor, suggesting market uncertainty about Marvel's specific casting preferences

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.
