The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, Sink opened up on the experience of joining the Marvel Universe with Spider-Man: Brand New Day.<\/p>\n“Oh, it was crazy. I found out while we were wrapping up season five [of Stranger Things]. Spider-Man has always been my favorite. I love Spider-Man. I love Tom\u2019s Spider-Man, especially,” Sink enthused.\u00a0“To be a fan of something and then join it is a familiar feeling for me, because I was a fan of Stranger Things before I joined the show, but I was super excited about what they had planned.”<\/p>\n
“I also worked with the director, Dustin Daniel Kretten, in one of the first movies I ever did when I was 14, so it\u2019s kind of a full-circle moment. I had an amazing time working on that film. I can\u2019t wait to talk about it more. There\u2019s so much I want to share.”<\/p>\n
“That\u2019s why I feel like keeping Stranger Things secrets are kind of easy because I have so many Spider-Man secrets I\u2019m sitting on that feel even more secretive,” she teased.<\/p>\n
The site wondered whether Sink has a dream role or genre she wants to tackle, and after saying that she’s “open to whatever,” the actress might have dropped a hint at what drew her to a potentially villainous\u00a0role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“At least right now, I\u2019m finding myself gravitating towards challenges, which is good. One thing that\u2019s important to me is to really tap into every side of myself as an actor when I\u2019m choosing a new project.”<\/p>\n

“The first thing I look for is: How is this going to push me in ways I haven\u2019t been pushed before, which is a good period to be in right now because I\u2019ve been doing this for a very long time, but I\u2019m still very young and there\u2019s so much more to learn as I grow older and step into more adult roles. So there\u2019s no specific genre that I\u2019d like to do.”<\/p>\n

“Although I feel like in a couple of years I\u2019m going to be like, ‘I\u00a0just want to do a comedy or something really light,’\u00a0which I\u2019ve actually been saying for a while, but I still gravitate towards darker, more demanding things.”<\/p>\n

With Jean looking like a very real possibility for Sink (presumably meaning she’ll return in the post-Secret Wars MCU for the X-Men reboot), the current theory on social media is that this version of the character will be based on the hard-edged Ultimate version of the powerful mutant.<\/p>\n
