Marvel is intentionally keeping Sadie Sink’s character a secret in the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day. While fans have come to believe she is playing Jean Grey, Tom Holland‘s latest comments have left them questioning whether that’s true.
What did Tom Holland say about Jean Grey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day?
In an interview with Natalia Kreuser, Tom Holland said that Jean Grey will not appear in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Trying to hide his smile, he said, “She’s not in this movie, but it would be pretty cool.”
Fans have been developing theories about Sink’s mysterious character ever since she joined the project. The most popular assumption has been Jean Grey, fueled by leaked merchandise, cryptic trailer scenes, and a costume that resembles the X-Men character’s iconic yellow-and-green look. Marvel and Sony Pictures have been tight-lipped on the matter. However, Sadie Sink has dodged questions about her role, doing everything she can not to reveal any details.
Holland’s latest remarks have thrown fans’ theories out the window. If that turns out to be true, fans may see Sadie Sink playing an entirely different character. The comments have sent fans back to the drawing board, sparking new theories about her role in the film. Whether Holland’s comment was genuine or simply another attempt to protect the film’s biggest secrets remains unclear.
In an earlier interaction online, Sink jokingly offered three exclusive answers about her role. She added, “I can confirm I’m not Spider-Man. Second, I can confirm I am not Aunt May. And third, I can definitely confirm that I am in this movie.” That said, fans will have to wait until the film’s release to find out who she’s playing.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo and many others. Marvel’s director has confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day has many surprises apart from Sink’s character.
The movie will release in theaters on July 31, 2026.
