The world of Marvel is buzzing once again! The first look of Sadie Sink from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has sent fans into a complete frenzy. The talented actress, best known for her role in Stranger Things, has officially entered the Marvel universe, and her appearance alongside Tom Holland has left everyone guessing who she might be playing.
This weekend, leaked photos from the film set gave fans their first glimpse of Sadie Sink in character. She was seen with her beautiful red hair, styled with a fresh fringe that instantly caught everyone’s attention. Dressed in a stylish yet mysterious outfit paired with tall black boots, Sadie looked every bit like someone with a secret to hide. Her confident expression and the mysterious vibe around her outfit made fans believe she isn’t just another side character—she might be playing someone very important in Spider-Man’s story.
The movie Spider-Man: Brand New Day is one of the most awaited Marvel films, especially because it marks the fourth Spider-Man movie led by Tom Holland. After the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter Parker was left alone and forgotten by everyone, fans are eager to know what comes next. And now, with Sadie Sink joining the film, excitement levels have shot even higher.
As soon as the pictures hit social media, fans flooded platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram with their theories. Many believe Sadie might be playing Mary Jane Watson, Peter Parker’s iconic love interest from the comics. Her red hair and confident style reminded people of MJ’s classic look. One fan even posted, “Sadie Sink as Mary Jane Watson would be perfect casting! She has the charm, the energy, and the red hair—Marvel nailed it!”

However, not everyone agrees. Some fans think that her outfit looks more like something a superhero would wear, hinting that she might be playing an entirely new character. “That’s not MJ’s look. She seems more like Spider-Woman or even Firestar,” another fan commented. Firestar, a character from the Marvel comics, has bright red hair and fiery powers, which matches Sadie’s appearance perfectly in the leaked photos.
This mystery around Sadie Sink’s role is exactly what’s making fans so curious. Marvel Studios is known for keeping secrets, and the production team has not revealed any details about her character yet. In fact, even the movie’s storyline has been tightly guarded. According to reports, Spider-Man: Brand New Day might not just be another solo Spider-Man movie—it could actually set up the next big Marvel crossover film, Avengers: Doomsday. If that’s true, Sadie Sink’s role could be much bigger than anyone expects.
On the same day the photos leaked, Tom Holland was also spotted on set, shooting action scenes in a neighborhood. He was seen wearing his classic Spider-Man suit and performing stunts with wires and safety gear. At one point, the cameras captured him swinging from one building to another, while the crew watched closely. Tom seemed completely focused, though there were reports earlier that he had a minor head injury during filming. Thankfully, he appeared healthy and energetic while shooting, putting fans’ worries to rest.
The photos of Tom and Sadie together on set have created a wave of excitement among Marvel fans. It’s been over two years since we last saw Spider-Man on screen, and the wait has made everyone even more eager for this film. Fans are especially curious about how the movie will continue Peter Parker’s story now that the world no longer remembers who he is. Will he find new friends? A new love interest? Or even a new team of heroes?
Sadie Sink’s entry into the Marvel world feels like the perfect timing. She rose to fame with her emotional and powerful performance as Max in Stranger Things. Her ability to play strong yet sensitive characters has made her one of Hollywood’s most promising young stars. Many believe she will bring the same depth and emotion to her Marvel role.
Interestingly, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also sparked rumors about new superhero introductions. Some fans believe the movie could explore the “Spider-Verse” even further, bringing in different versions of Spider-Man or Spider-Woman from other universes. If Sadie’s character turns out to be Spider-Woman, it could open up an entirely new storyline in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Others think she might play a brand-new character created just for this film—a surprise that Marvel loves to pull off.
One thing is clear: Marvel fans are counting down the days until the movie’s official release. Every new photo, every small update, and every rumor adds to the excitement. Sadie Sink’s appearance on set has now given people something real to discuss and dream about. Whether she’s playing Mary Jane Watson, Spider-Woman, or someone completely new, her presence already feels special.
Meanwhile, Tom Holland continues to be the heart of the Spider-Man series. His version of Peter Parker has grown up on screen, from a high school student to a lonely but brave superhero. In No Way Home, we saw him make one of the hardest choices—letting everyone forget him to protect them. Fans hope Brand New Day will finally give him a chance at happiness, maybe even a new beginning.
The film’s title, Brand New Day, itself seems to promise change—a fresh start for Peter Parker and maybe for the entire Marvel world. And with Sadie Sink stepping in, it feels like this “new day” might shine even brighter.
At the moment, Marvel Studios has not made any official statement about Sadie Sink’s role. But one thing is sure—the mystery has worked like magic. Fans are more invested than ever, and social media is full of excitement, edits, and fan-made posters of Sadie and Tom together.
As one fan perfectly wrote online, “Every time Marvel adds someone new, it feels like the start of something big. And Sadie Sink being in Spider-Man? That’s huge!”
So, as filming continues and more details slowly come out, all eyes will be on this dynamic new duo—Tom Holland and Sadie Sink. Whether she’s a friend, a hero, or a love interest, Sadie’s Marvel journey has officially begun, and fans are ready to follow every step.
