\n\t[This story contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

\n\tSadie Sink<\/a>\u2018s top-secret-ish role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has finally been revealed.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe reason I say \u201cish\u201d is because despite Marvel<\/a> and Sink remaining tight-lipped, fan rumors have been swirling about her casting since even before the first trailer that dropped in March<\/a> included a two-second clip of a mystery person in a green jacket. This led fans to speculate <\/a>that Sink was playing powerful mutant Jean Grey, as the character is known to have fiery red hair (much like Sink) and wear the color green, at least in some of her classic comic book appearances.<\/p>\n

\n\tNow that the Tom Holland<\/a>-led film has hit theaters, I\u2019m happy to congratulate those behind the rumors for being correct.<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout the Brand New Day press tour leading up to the film\u2019s release on July 31, the Stranger Things actress seemingly dodged all questions surrounding any specifics of her role.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this month, during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, director Destin Daniel Cretton shared that all the secrecy with Sink\u2019s character has to do with the moviegoing experience. \u201cKeeping what Sadie\u2019s doing under wraps, you\u2019ll honestly understand when you see the movie. The movie is a better movie if you don\u2019t know certain things,\u201d he said. \u201cI wish people didn\u2019t know anything when they go in to watch this movie, but we\u2019re not doing it for any other reason but to protect the experience of the fans. And whoever goes on opening weekend, you are going to have a much cooler experience if you go in not knowing certain things.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrand New Day has Holland back in the Spidey suit, with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon also reprising their roles as MJ and Ned, respectively. The fourth installment, coming off the box office success of 2021\u2019s Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>, sees Peter Parker living entirely alone as Spider-Man in a world that doesn\u2019t remember him. That\u2019s until mounting pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him triggers a dangerous change, while a powerful new villain emerges.<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year, while chatting with THR<\/a>, Sink admitted she was looking forward to when she could finally talk about her Spider-Man role, as \u201cThere\u2019s so much I want to share.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpider-Man has always been my favorite,\u201d she said at the time. \u201cI love Spider-Man. I love Tom\u2019s Spider-Man, especially. To be a fan of something and then join it is a familiar feeling for me, because I was a fan of\u00a0Stranger Things\u00a0before I joined the show, but I was super excited about what they had planned. I also worked with the director, Destin Daniel Cretton, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
