The publication quotes the Tony Award nominee as saying, “Before receiving the offer to feature in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, she saw online fan theories that she would be involved in the project.”I learned about it from internet speculations. Before I was cast in Spider-Man, there were rumors on the internet that “Sadie Sink is going to be in the new Spider-Man,” she clarified. “I thought, ‘Hmm? I am?’ Indeed, they asked me to do it two days later. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there is sometimes some truth to such ideas.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, she said, “I especially love Tom’s Spider-Man,” adding that her work on Stranger Things made it easy for her to preserve Marvel-related secrets.Zendaya and Jacob Batalon will play MJ and Ned again in “Brand New Day,” while Holland will return as Peter Parker. In addition, Michael Mando plays Scorpion, Jon Bernthal plays the Punisher, and Mark Ruffalo plays Bruce Banner/The Hulk.
