An important clarification regarding the Deadline article about Sadie Sink in Secret Wars
As you can see in the screenshot, the original report isn't about Doomsday, Spider-Man, or even the "exclusive" news of her participation in Secret Wars. It's a report about the Romeo and Juliet play that Sink will be performing... that's what the article is about.
When is Secret Wars mentioned? Only in a single paragraph discussing the actress's schedule, since the play is scheduled to begin on March 16th. After that, it's mentioned that she's also working on Brand New Day, which will finish filming in December. It's at this point that the article mentions that "her role is unknown, but it is known that she will join the cast of the next Avengers film, which will be filmed in 2026."
As you can see, it's a random comment; it doesn't mention her relevance or level of participation in that project at all, nor does it even mention any rumors about it. It's not an exclusive; it's simply an addition by the writer regarding the actress's future schedule.
Furthermore, let's remember something... this has already happened in the past. Specifically, Ned appeared in both Infinity War and Endgame, and he didn't have any significant role. He joined the cast, but he wasn't important or a protagonist. The same could happen with Sadie, either at the end of the film when the entire universe was restored... or in Battleworld, where, theoretically, the entire MCU would end up, including civilians.
But then, what can we take away from this?
1. The character won't die in Brand New Day.
2. Just like Holland, she's skipping Doomsday, so firstly... she's not involved in anything related to Doom and will arrive thanks to Battleworld.
And let's also remember that these reports can be wrong. Just recall that it was said that Holland would appear in Doomsday thanks to THR, and it didn't happen, so be cautious with theories and rumors.

You are right the trades (on occasion, it does not happen often and it is not normal) have been wrong.
That’s really all I have to say about this post, expect for the fact that thinking she’s potentially playing a minor character is funny
EDIT: edited my comment to reflect the change. I had look up the exact quote from THR
For me, she's going to be a supporting character, and that's it. If there's a plot twist, I have a feeling it'll be for Tom Holland himself and his trilogy. Either it's something like Michelle with Sink at one point saying,
"The truth is, X is a name I used so my parents wouldn't find me after I ran away. My real name is... Gwen," or it's something like her being a follower of Mysterio or something similar.
But I don't think it'll be anything too big.
Gwen is known for two things - dying and being Spider-Gwen. The former's already been done on-screen, so...
With the news that none of the prior actresses for Jean Grey are going to be in either film, I'm slowly creeping toward the conclusion that she will be Rachel Summers.
Like, some people are grappling with the idea of Jean Grey being in a Spider-Man film, despite the fact that Jean is a major X-men character and Spider-Man has ties to the X-men.
A relatively obscure character (as far as non-hardcore X-men fans go) who's the alternate universe daughter of Cyclops and Jean showing up in a Spider-Man film...just seems *way* too far-fetched.
Never say never though!
Brand new day could absolutely end with the whole universe with Peter in it collapsing because the avengers or whoever survived didn't know how to reach him or didn't get there in time (pretty unlikely but whatever)
They did film the after credits scene for thunderbolts on the doomsday set so who knows if they didn't shoot a couple of scenes during the brand new day shooting for doomsday for both Peter and whoever she's playing
Also It’s even Funnier when you realize This could be a battleworld scenario were she ends up on battleworld Because the Multiverse gets destroyed, which is far likely to occur in doomsday.
Saved you all a click
If she were important to the end of the saga, she would appear in Doomsday, even if she were alone, and her true connection is with Tobey Maguire. I don't know why they're creating made-up rivalries for Doom.
\- Like Captain America, because his time travel killed his family.
\- Like Mayday, because Doom killed his father and now he wants him dead.
When even the bag and the video with the chairs indicate that his rival... will be Reed, and literally his first appearance was in Fantastic Four.
But already:
1. He mentioned the Punisher and Hulk storyline as a discarded plot point and that the current one included Mephisto (which didn't happen, by the way).
2. It seems he didn't even know which character he was talking about because he said Mayday would be Peter's new best friend in this trilogy, similar to Ned.
3. He and Jeff Sneider have suggested so many names for the character of Sink that mentioning Mayday once doesn't really mean anything anymore.
