Sadie Sink says the MCU is way more secretive than 'Stranger Things': "Tom can wave at the fans because people know who he is, but then you get a glimpse of me and I'm like a penguin. That'll be the situation for a bit, it seems.”

Sink on filming 'Brand New Day':

>“Tom can wave at the fans because people know who he is, but then you get a glimpse of me and I'm like a [penguin](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3op2JpW8AAK7En?format=jpg&name=large). That'll be the situation for a bit, it seems.”

>Conversations began with Marvel while she was filming season 5 of Stranger Things, so “not as far back as you would think,” she says. The biggest theory out there from the comic book-loving crowds is that Sink will play the new Jean Grey, the telekinetic and telepathic member of the X-Men, after Famke Janssen and Sophie Turner. “That was happening before I even knew that I would be working on this project,” Sink clarifies of that specific speculation. “I was like, ‘Wait! What are people talking about?’”

>There now seems to be a new rumor every week. Among the power rankings of all the fan theories, Punisher sidekick Rachel Cole-Alves is high up there. However, all the guesses involve characters with red hair. “A lot of people forget that hair color can change, but, yeah, I understand all of the theories,” Sink comments.

>“People will just have to wait and see. I'm excited for all of it to maybe be put to rest.”

"Hair color can change"

Mystique confirmed!

ThomasVivaldi2025-11-24 22:52

Felicia's hair color would change in the cartoon.

Ericandabear2025-11-24 23:20

Thr hair comment is such a bizarre thing to say that it doesnt even seem real.

nr19882025-11-24 23:54

I think it's because people are guessing what character she's going to play and are picking redheads

Ericandabear2025-11-24 23:57

Well yeah, of course. I'm saying it's so obvious shes referring to Gwen Stacy that it seems like a decoy comment

uniparalum2025-11-25 05:04

Gwen Stacy or Felicia Hardy then maybe, based on the hair comment? Lol

Goldman2502025-11-24 21:26

Like a penguin … oh my god, it’s the first MCU/DCU crossover and she’s playing Ozzy Cobblepot, a gender-swapped Penguin!

ZekeorSomething2025-11-24 21:39

She’s Oswalda Cobblepot from Caped Crusader!

lenarizan2025-11-24 23:32

Or she is Cumberbatch' Stranges love interest.

Pen wins.

DragonRoostHouse2025-11-24 23:54

That means Robert Pattinson is going to make an appearance in the MCU as Batman!!!!!!!!!

justafanboy10102025-11-25 00:47

YESSS WE WON!!!

Altruistic_Fox25172025-11-25 01:31

imagine going to a party just to hide under a coat sounds like a blast

esar242025-11-25 01:43

I knew those Batman reference will finally paid off.

Romero19932025-11-25 10:56

*we're so back*

BigHollaSchwalla2025-11-25 12:22

Nah. She's playing Mother Superior. Blues Brothers in the MCU confirmed!

Storvox2025-11-24 21:27

Sadie Sink playing a gender-bent Penguin was certainly not the first MCU/DCU crossover I expected.

KoBoWC2025-11-25 14:46

Penguins can be girls you know.

Due_String5832025-11-24 21:28

Black cat? Black and white like the penguin?

rhaesdaenys2025-11-24 21:34

Personally I hope she's Firestar.

ZekeorSomething2025-11-24 21:41

She’d fit in the most. Firestar is a hero who fights with Spider-Man and it would be nice to include Iceman in fact Joe Keery was rumored to be in the cast a few month back and some people want him as that hero.

topatoman_lite2025-11-25 01:01

Joe Keery being added along with Sadie Sink would be very funny

kalyancr72025-11-25 03:29

LostEsco2025-11-25 12:54

Auditioning for human torch nd getting cast as his polar opposite (power wise) would be kind of hilarious

n_mcrae_19822025-11-24 21:43

Twisted Firestarter

Street_Mall95362025-11-24 21:46

Boom chik chik chik a chik boom

PhotoBonjour_bombs192025-11-24 22:03

I feel that would’ve been it if mutants were already introduced in the mcu. Peter roommates or neighbors with fire star and iceman would be a delight to see but I highly doubt it’s gonna happen.

rhaesdaenys2025-11-24 22:03

They are though or are people forgetting Ms Marvel

yuvi30002025-11-24 22:14

Namor is probably the biggest mutant in the MCU main timeline right now too. People seem to forget him.

ZekeorSomething2025-11-24 22:16

Namor is also a mutant.

PhotoBonjour_bombs192025-11-24 23:02

Oh yeah I guess mutants already exists or the beginning of it. Actually having fire star and iceman being one of the early mutants in the mcu would be cool

ShadesOfTheDead2025-11-26 16:07

Well, barely anyone watched that show.

cynicalPsionic2025-11-24 22:36

Namor, Ms.Marvel, one of the guys at Abominaste in She-Hulk, Mr.Immortal, they're all mutants in the MCU and comics.

Ancient_Ad712025-11-24 23:46

In the Comics Ms. Marvel is an Inhuman, not a mutant. That happened in the series.

Nanocaptain2025-11-25 00:11

And then it happened in the comics too because fuck logic.

cynicalPsionic2025-11-25 05:06

Over a year ago she was killed and resurrected via Krakoa revealing that for some shenanigans reason she's the first true mutant-inhuman. Dumb or not that's now a thing!

FreeStall422025-11-25 07:58

Shocking why no one buys comics anymore

cynicalPsionic2025-11-25 15:12

Nobody buys comics because it's a financial and attention-related black hole compared to following a single manga line with one story, or indie comics. Rough stories are a small symptom compared to people just refusing the constant churn of stories.

RabbitMario2025-11-24 23:01

there’s a handful of mutants like ms marvel, namor, and mr immortal, probably at least 1 i forgot, also they could just not be mutants if that were an issue

esar242025-11-25 01:46

Mutant already in the MCU, either in 616 or TVA-verse.

FreeStall422025-11-25 07:58

Dunno why they are bothering trying to fit mutants in now it will feel so tacked on no matter what.

dayungbenny2025-11-26 00:04

Mutants have been fully introduced, just not the X-Men themselves.

GiraffeThwockmorton2025-11-24 23:24

People see a Lhasa Apso running around the BND set, they'll lose their minds

usagicassidy2025-11-25 00:32

Only if we *also* get Bobby/Iceman being Peter’s friend/roommate. But that seems like a long shot because there’s been no casting to suggest it.

Personally, I’d be pretty annoyed if Sadie ended up being Angelica.

abrakadaver2025-11-25 01:22

She would be a great Firestar!

CactusCustard2025-11-24 21:44

Should we tell him?

HighwayBrigand2025-11-24 21:54

Let him find out. Frankly, I was happily surprised when I learned she was playing Reed Richards. We shouldn't spoil that for him.

MarzipanSea28112025-11-24 22:39

Nuts to that, I'm letting the cat out of the bag-- she's the entire F4 cast. It was a one woman show and she crushed it.

Hawkwise832025-11-24 22:09

By penguin I assume because she's covering her costume/outfit with a large coat?

deekaydubya2025-11-24 22:55

Yes

Altruistic_Eye_11572025-11-25 02:06

It's possible, although it's also strange because in the footage itself he's still wearing the coat, and in the latest leaked video, underneath that coat he appears to only be wearing a yellow polo shirt.

Hawkwise832025-11-25 02:52

Yeah I saw some leaked photo of her in just like civilian clothes. Didn't give anything away. Maybe other parts of the movie are more sensitive, or maybe she means something else by penguin.

Altruistic_Eye_11572025-11-25 02:57

I think the penguin thing is his way of saying, "I can't say anything or appear in anything," and he's kind of like a penguin, having to walk around as if he's hiding something.

Unlike Zendaya and Holland, who can even take pictures on set without any problem.

Basic-Highway-6952025-11-25 04:46

Sadie is 'she' not 'he' btw

That’s pretty strange, but I’ve seen stranger things

pje11282025-11-25 04:00

Nope. She's playing Oswald Cobblepot, aka the Penguin. Confirmed!

Hawkwise832025-11-25 05:06

Ngl, I'd watch that movie.

Bitey_the_Squirrel2025-11-25 11:59

It could be worse… my nose could be gushing blood.

PlatFleece2025-11-25 12:44

Unironically every single time I've heard Sadie Sink in a rumor/leak/whatever discussion people say she's playing a different character every time, so I'm convinced she's just a physical manifestation of the multiverse at this point.

Gaunt_Man2025-11-25 16:30

Eternity confirmed!

maxfridsvault2025-11-25 23:36

Pingu confirmed MCU

Hawkwise832025-11-25 17:58

Yoo. Pimgu is awesome. Weird as shit. One episode he just hauls off and pisses all over the bathroom.

rikeoliveira2025-11-24 22:15

She's "like a penguin" because she's wearing heavy clothes and jackets.

Now, she wouldn't be wearing this if she was not wearing a costume underneath, so there's that.

Altruistic_Eye_11572025-11-25 02:07

The problem is that in the recordings themselves, she can be seen still wearing the jacket (like when she was captured unconscious), and it appears that underneath that jacket she's only wearing a yellow polo shirt, thanks to the latest video.

CaptHayfever2025-11-25 08:16

On the contrary, I think she would *very much* be wearing the heavy coat if she wasn't wearing a costume underneath, elsewise it could get chilly on that set!

TDStarchild2025-11-24 22:24

Batman debuting confirmed! I told y’all

This is kinda funny given they’ve all been absolutely tight lipped about what’s going on with Max in S5 too

Master-Mage872025-11-24 23:15

She's Jean Grey, I'd be very surprised if she isn't

_NintenDude_2025-11-25 01:58

what about a May Day parker from another universe?

Non_Linguist2025-11-25 16:45

Agreed. Especially if the rumours of Toby coming back again are true.

dX9272025-11-25 02:08

"You get a glimpse of me and I'm like a penguin. Sometimes I have to slink away like a black cat so no one sees me. There's a real mystique about who I'm playing. My friends all ask who I'm playing but I say, "I can't tell you. It's Marvel, girl."

Altruistic_Eye_11572025-11-25 02:29

Regarding the hair issue, what if she's referring to the fact that the character she plays isn't a redhead IN THE COMICS?

Because she mentions the hair in fancasts, saying, "I'm a redhead, so I have to play a redhead," but hair color can change in adaptations.

This would fit with the MCU, where Mary Jane, Ned, Flash, Betty, and Liz don't physically resemble their comic book versions. Sink might be repeating the same thing.

pantone_2782025-11-25 05:09

Figured it out

Feige should learn from Gunn. At this point secrecy isn’t building hype. It’s harming it.

She’s Rachel Cole-Alves it’s very obvious
