Sadie Sink<\/a> teased the growing fan speculation around her character in the forthcoming Spider-Man<\/a> film, saying theories revolving around her red hair might not be accurate.<\/p>\n

Sink, 23, shot to fame after joining the hit Netflix science fiction series Stranger Things<\/a> in the second season as Max Mayfield, a newcomer who came to befriend the main group. She is now set to enter the Marvel<\/a> Cinematic Universe in a yet unconfirmed role. <\/p>\n

Her casting was first reported in March by Deadline<\/a>, which stated that she was joining the fourth Spider-Man film Brand New Day alongside Tom Holland as Peter Parker.<\/p>\n

Marvel is yet to release any information about her character, sparking a number of theories, mostly pieced together from her appearance on set in a costume covered entirely in a bulky puffer jacket but with locks of her red hair peeking out. <\/p>\n

In a new interview, Sink noted the speculation had taken on a life of its own but offered no hints as to who she could be playing. <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people forget that hair colour can change, but yeah, I understand all of the theories,\u201d she told Entertainment Weekly. <\/p>\n

\u201cPeople will just have to wait and see. I\u2019m excited for all of it to maybe be put to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadie Sink, 23, shot to fame after joining hit Netflix series \u2018Stranger Things\u2019 (Netflix)<\/p>\n

One of the most persistent rumours is that she plays Jean Grey, the telekinetic X-Men character<\/a> previously enacted by Famke Janssen <\/a>and Sophie Turner<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Sink said the theory began circulating long before she had even signed on. \u201cThat was happening before I even knew that I would be working on this project,\u201d the actor said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018Wait! What are people talking about?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Sink will reportedly reprise her Marvel character in Avengers: Secret Wars, which is due to begin filming next year.<\/p>\n

Other popular theories see her playing Rachel Cole-Alves, a Punisher <\/a>ally frequently depicted with red hair in the comics, or Firestar, another X-Men member associated with Spider-Man in comics and animated adaptations. <\/p>\n

Recently, fans have also added Felicia Hardy, better known as Black Cat, to the list of contenders. <\/p>\n

In addition to her Marvel role, Sink is returning to her theatre roots as she makes her West End debut in London next spring in Robert Icke\u2019s production of Romeo & Juliet<\/a> opposite Noah Jupe.<\/p>\n

Sink began her career on Broadway in the musical Annie. Earlier this year, she earned a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Play for her performance in John Proctor is the Villain.<\/p>\n

One of the most persistent rumours is that Sink is playing Jean Grey (Marvel Entertainment)<\/p>\n

Sink recently opened up about the emotional experience of filming her final scenes <\/a>for the last season of Stranger Things, likening it to \u201csaying goodbye to your childhood\u201d<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was awful, just so emotional,\u201d she told Glamour. \u201cIt felt like we were genuinely grieving something, which we were because it\u2019s a huge chapter of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beyond her acting roles, Sink discussed her foray into producing for the first time, on the film adaptation of the play John Proctor Is The Villain, a venture she felt \u201clike the right fit\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been curious about producing, but it was only something I wanted to do if I felt like I could take it on. I don\u2019t want to just slap my name on something as a producer just because I can,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\u201cI actually want to learn how to do it and do it right and work with people who are willing to educate me on it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sadie Sink teased the growing fan speculation around her character in the forthcoming Spider-Man film, saying theories revolving…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":202807,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[9,1063,18,117,1831,19,1826,17,327,5,1828,1827,1829,1830,66],"class_list":{"0":"post-202806","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-daily-news","10":"tag-eire","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-global-news","13":"tag-ie","14":"tag-inkl","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-news-app","19":"tag-news-headlines","20":"tag-news-today","21":"tag-today-news","22":"tag-world-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115621130728586702","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202806","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=202806"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/202806\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=202806"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=202806"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=202806"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
