There's no studio more secretive than Marvel. Case in point – Spider-Man: Brand New Day star Sadie Sink reportedly wasn't given a script until she landed in London to shoot the Spidey sequel.
In a new conversation with Nylon, the culture brand claims that despite being offered the (still mysterious) role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day without an audition, the Stranger Things alum "didn't receive a script until she landed in London."
It's not clear if Sink read a script prior to receiving her own copy, as Sink isn't quoted directly on the matter in the piece, but either way, it's further evidence that Marvel is taking no chances in letting the secrets of Brand New Day slip before it releases at the end of the month.
Despite the second Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer leaking a week before it eventually dropped online, Marvel Studios and Sony have done a good job keeping the movie's finer details in the shadows. We still don't actually know who Sink is playing in the movie. All the signs point to future member of the X-Men, Jean Grey, but we have our own theories as well.
Sink, not realizing how much speculation there would be, has spent the bulk of the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour so far on deflection duty, fending off questions about the identity of her mystery character. Over eight years on Stranger Things at least prepped her for the responsibility of staying schtum, with Sink telling Nylon that the key to keeping a secret is: “You just don’t share the secret. It’s not that hard.” Tom Holland, take note.
With less than a month to go till Brand New Day releases, Holland recently revealed that the movie's ultimate villain is still a secret. "The villain that we have in this new movie, which is still very much a secret, is, I think, unlike anything we've seen in one of these movies before."
Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in cinemas in the UK on July 29 and in US theaters on July 31. For more upcoming superhero movies, check out our guides to all the upcoming Marvel movies and shows that have been confirmed.
