Since Stranger Things star Sadie Sink posted the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer on Instagram, fans have been speculating who she’ll be playing in the new film. With many theorizing that Sink will play Jean Grey from X-Men, the actress took to social media to address these rumors.
“Since the trailer dropped, I’ve seen so many theories about who I’m playing,” Sink said in an Instagram reel. “To match your incredible energy, I’ve decided to give you three exclusive, confirmed answers right now.”
Sink jokingly said, “I can confirm I am not Spider-Man. Second, I can confirm I am not Aunt May. And third, I can definitely confirm that I am in this movie.”
“As for who I really am, you’ll have to find out in the theater,” Sink concluded.
Theories about Sink playing Jean Grey began when, at the 58-second mark of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer, a psychic blast stretches across Manhattan. Fans compared the shot to Jean Grey’s telepathic power surging in X-Men: Evolution.
While Marvel has kept Sink’s role under wraps, Sink did call the Jean Grey theory “an awesome rumor” and said she had “nothing to say about this.”
“C’mon we know you’re Jean,” one fan insisted on Instagram.
“I can definitely confirm that I’ll watch this movie,” another said.
“I really thought she was going to be Spider-Man,” one user joked. “Thanks for clearing the air Sadie 😉”
“AHH THE TROLL IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE,” another said.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to release in theaters on July 31, with Tom Holland and Zendaya reprising their roles as Peter Parker and MJ. The film will take place after the events of No Way Home, following Parker as he navigates a world that no longer knows his name. A new trailer was released last month, and it can be seen here:
