Hugh Jackman Isn’t Ready to Pass the Wolverine Claws Just Yet : Coastal House Media

As excitement continues to build for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sadie Sink has opened up about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what it was like stepping onto the set alongside Tom Holland.

Speaking in a recent interview, Sink admitted that entering one of Hollywood’s biggest franchises was both exciting and intimidating. While she understood the massive popularity of Spider-Man before signing on, she quickly realized just how enormous the production truly was.

“I knew that Marvel was a big deal and had a big brand, especially Spider-Man,” she said. “I know there’s a huge fan base, but it feels really big. I think these blockbuster movies are a whole different beast.”

Joining a cast that had already spent years working together also left Sink feeling like an outsider at first, but she said Holland and the rest of the production made the transition incredibly easy.

“It was interesting stepping into that space and being a little bit of an outsider in that way, but he could not have been more welcoming, and just the whole crew in general.”

She went on to praise Holland’s personality, saying:

“He was just so relaxed and open, and I felt very at ease.”

While Marvel Studios continues to keep Sink’s role under wraps, the actress admitted that watching fans speculate about her mystery character has been an interesting experience. Many fans continue to believe she could be portraying Jean Grey, though neither Marvel nor Sink has confirmed those rumors.

The actress also revealed that Marvel handled her casting with its trademark secrecy. Rather than auditioning for the role, Sink was reportedly offered the part directly following her previous collaboration with director Destin Daniel Cretton. She also wasn’t given the full script until she arrived in London to begin filming.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, with Peter Parker navigating a world where no one remembers his identity. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Mark Ruffalo, and Sadie Sink, with the next chapter of Spider-Man’s story set to arrive in theaters on July 31.

With Sink praising Holland’s welcoming attitude and offering a glimpse into the scale and secrecy surrounding Marvel productions, anticipation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to build as fans eagerly await the reveal of her mysterious role.
