Everything we know so far about Sadie Sink's role in Brand New Day
Note: Rumors will not be included here, only information from interviews, articles, or leaked set photos.
Let's start with the main points:
\- Sadie Sink is part of the cast of Brand New Day in an unidentified role, but the original Deadline article mentioned that she would be the co-star.
\- Thanks to an article about her upcoming play, it's confirmed that her schedule also includes filming for the next Avengers movie, which begins shooting in 2026 (possibly Secret Wars).
As a side note: this would make Sink the third Spider-Man character to join May and Ned in a project outside of the main character (since May appeared in Civil War and Ned appeared in both Infinity War and Endgame).
\- In a recent interview, she spoke about how difficult it is to keep her character a secret, but that she's excited for people to get to know her. She also said the following:
“A lot of people forget that hair color can change… People will just have to wait and see. I’m excited for all of it to maybe be put to rest.”
“Tom can greet the fans because people know who he is, but then they see me and I’m like a penguin… It looks like it’ll be like that for a while.”
Regarding the Jean Grey fancast/rumor, she said the following: “That was already happening before I knew I would be working on this project,” Sink clarifies about that specific speculation. “I thought, ‘Wait! What are they talking about?’”
She also mentioned that her conversations with Marvel happened "not as far back as you might think" while filming the fifth season of Stranger Things.

Now let's move on to the leaked images (spoiler alert)
>!\- So far, Sink hasn't been seen in scenes like the tank chase or Scorpion's escape. The first time she was seen on set outdoors was in a scene that appears to include Bruce Banner.!<
>!\- In this scene, she was seen with her reddish hair, a large green coat, and military-style pants, but in a second image, she was seen wearing the same outfit but with jeans.!<
>!\- The recording shows the actress unconscious on a stretcher, which armed men are carrying to a van with bars, presumably belonging to Damage Control. As an additional detail, the character is not strapped to the stretcher nor is she wearing a suppressor collar like Wanda in Civil War.!<
>!\- In a second recording from just a few days ago, a scene shows the same van possibly carrying approximately five men in military clothing through a park. At one point, they stop and attack a red-haired actress from behind, wearing what appears to be a yellow polo shirt. She is quickly apprehended by the officers.!<
That's all that's known so far, or at least all I've been able to gather.

Also, Marisa Tomei, as May, appears in Endgame, at Tony's funeral, you only mentioned her being in Civil War.
Even with Captain America, they had to bring in half the army, not just a van with five guys.
To be fair, it's quite a common thing for superheroes to accept the situation and go quietly... just for that point. And then they escape or get released later.
So that doesn't really tell us anything yet. She could be a human who gets into trouble or she could be a powered individual who lets herself be captured. Or maybe they even depower her somehow before capturing her.
>Tom can greet the fans because people know who he is, but then they see me and I’m like a penguin
She's playing The Penguin
I really dislike that trope and the double standard of criticizing women for having multiple relationships but encouraging or glorifying it when male characters do it. Personally, I prefer relationships in stories to be straightforward, committed, and loyal on both sides.
Mcu MJ doesnt know who peter is anymore. Good chance she may start dating someone (if the leaks are to be believed) so if peter moves on for a movie or 2 then that’s fine.
This leads me to believe that it is a street level hero, which we know the movie's direction is anyway, and that the role's natural hair colour is NOT red.
I really wanted it to be Firestar but it seems more likely that it will be Black Cat.
Unless I'm mistaken Black Cat had not been confirmed yet, right?
I've never seen this girl in anything so does that role even make sense for her?
Honest question. Just wondering if I've misunderstood your point.
So I wouldn't expect the same person to be considered for both Black Cat and, say, Jubilee is all.
Also they are actors. Some defintiely are typecast but some are very capable of turning into a different person given a different role so we'll see. Sadie Sink so far tends to play more 'boyish' and 'headstrong' characters. Very independent but at the same time still a bit of a bleeding heart.
I would love a good Jubilee eventually tbh. So sad that we always only get 'easter eggs' of her always played by different actors in the x-men movies.
"It would be very weird for a villain to be walking calmly through a park and not even notice the police van approaching her, not very stealthily."
What if she's a character who's been wrongly accused?
Also, regarding the hair, it occurred to me that either her character isn't a natural redhead, as you say, or perhaps the character in the comics isn't a redhead (similar to how MJ, Ned, Betty, Flash, etc., don't look like their comic book counterparts).
Of course it depends a lot on the angle of the writers too but I can imagine Felicia Hardy being very cocky about it. Overconfident. Wearing a red wig and thinking "No way will they find me" with the feeling that people won't even know her alter ego. Then they just find her. So I can see that as a way she wouldn't have noticed them. Just young over-confidence.
If she is a character who is falsely accused it really narrows the pool of possible characters she could be.
She HAS to be pretty important given she returns in Avengers. Or else I will be PRETTY mad that Madysinn doesn't get a role...
Now, also, if she's a character falsely accused, it wouldn't be so crazy. Remembering an interview, Holland himself mentioned that his version of the script was rejected for being almost a carbon copy of Captain America 4. We've already seen that that script wasn't completely discarded but rewritten to differentiate itself.
And an important detail in BNW was that a character was falsely accused of a crime. Perhaps that idea was salvaged, but no longer with mind control.
Although it's just a theory.
She's Mayday, Jessica Drew, Madame Hydra, Gwen Stacy. Literally none of it is credible.
The only one I've bought into so far is that she could be playing Rachel Cole. Makes the most sense to me with Punisher in the movie, and the set pics we saw of her in combat gear.
Has Marvel done such a thing in the past? I think they did with Carol's hair, but that's hardly similar, since it happened in a later appearance, not on her debut (and we already knew she'd be playing Captain Marvel).
Because to me, it seems an attempt to mislead/hide, like Garfield and NWH.
What if she's referring to the fact that her character isn't a redhead in the comics? Since she mentions it in relation to fancasts that associate her with redheads, what if she's playing someone who isn't a redhead in the comics?
That's something Marvel has done; direct examples include MJ, Ned, Betty, and Flash.
Another possibility is that within the story, red isn't her natural hair color (she's already filmed things on set, and filming doesn't start until December; they could film a scene where her hair dyes or where she mentions that she's not a natural redhead).
Ah, hadn't thought about that... And it does make sense. Like a redhead Gwen or Jessica Drew, or a redhead Rogue or Kitty Pryde.
In any case, I hope it's a true comics character she's playing if she's actually co-star, and not a misdirected original like MJ. May it be a Spidey gallery one, a mutant, or whoever.
The reason I think this is because the characters are about the same age, he currently doesn't have a love of interest that is actually available, and something about Spider-Man is he always has to have a love interest. She's going to be in the next movie, so that makes me think she's a hero or villain. She did mention that hair color could change. And the comment about being a penguin could be an accidental slip of color reference, since penguins traditionally are also depicted ass being black and white.
Pietro - Wanda : As Much as I wish, we aren't getting ATJ Pietro back as of 2025
Johnny - Susan : we will see them in Doomsday
I just want to see more sibling dynamics in MCU because I am sibling myself
Wouldn't be surprised at anything up to and including Jean or Rogue.
Fair enough. If you heard that Kirsten Dunst and Bryce Dallas Howard were in a "Spider-Man" movie, with no other knowledge, who would you guess they were playing?
* We know mutants are coming. Firestar would be a great setup character because....
* She has a historical attachment to Spider-Man. And...
* Marvel's been on a nostalgia kick; this would fit right in. Besides...
* You don't drop a redhead into this franchise and then have her *not* play a redhead.
