The identity of Sadie Sink\u2019s character in the new Spider-Man movie is top secret, but Lacy may not have known that\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tSpider-Man has faced a long list of villains since his creation in 1963, from the well-known (Dr. Octopus, Green Goblin) to the totally ridiculous (The Hypno-Hustler, Videoman). But the latest addition to the list was beyond the imagination of even comic-book creators: Steve Lacy<\/a>. Yes, that Steve Lacy, of \u201cBad Habit\u201d fame, who just released his excellent<\/a> third album, Oh Yeah?<\/p>\n \n\tThe identity of Sadie Sink\u2019s character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>, out Friday (which features the title track of Lacy\u2019s new album), has been a tightly guarded secret. But someone may have forgotten to tell Lacy, who, to be fair, is probably busy promoting his album. During a red carpet interview that appeared on the movie premiere\u2019s official livestream, an interviewer asked Lacy what character in the movie he was most excited about \u2014 and specified no spoilers.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tIn his answer, Lacy casually dropped the name of Sink\u2019s character, and went into detail about her role. The interviewer visibly panicked, and fans all over social media went bananas \u2014\u00a0 jokes about Lacy\u2019s impending assassination at the hands of Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige abounded.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here’s what Destin Daniel Cretton told me about Sadie Sink’s secret Spider-Man character.

Some people wanna know everything, and some people don\u2019t. There are certain people like me \u2014 if I know I\u2019m gonna watch a movie, I try not to even watch the trailers. But you\u2019ll see when you watch the movie that there\u2019s a very real reason not to tell people who Sadie Sink is playing. And I don\u2019t think you\u2019ll get mad at it. I think you\u2019ll be like, \u201cOh, I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t know that.\u201d<\/p>\n \t
