Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters in just a couple of weeks. And somehow, despite living in a world where pretty much everything is spoiled somehow, we still do not have a definitive answer about who Sadie Sink is playing in the movie. Is she Jean Grey or another character that will be completely new to the Marvel Universe? We will see soon. In fact, things were so secretive with Sadie Sink and this role that she didn’t audition for it and did not receive a script until she was flying to London for filming.
Nylon posted this information in a profile piece featuring Sink, where she said it was easy to simply keep her mouth shut. If someone paid me millions of dollars to play a role and keep quiet about it, I’d do that, too. Even Tom Holland, who is known for accidentally spilling the beans, hasn’t said anything about it. Apparently, Brand New Day director Daniel Destin Cretton offered Sadie Sink the role directly with no audition necessary, which makes sense considering they’ve collaborated before. Sink is no stranger to a fervent fanbase after Stranger Things but the Marvel world is something far bigger.
“I knew that Marvel was a big deal and had a big brand, especially Spider-Man,” Sink told Nylon. “I know there’s a huge fan base, but it feels really big. I think these blockbuster movies are a whole different beast.”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into theaters on July 31.
