Spider-Man: Brand New Day may not be far away from arriving in theaters but a lot is still unknown about the latest entry in the webbed franchise. Understandably, this has led to a whole load of theorizing from Marvel fans, keen to try and work out what exactly the Marvel Phase 6 movie's big surprises are – and it turns out some of them are actually right.

"Some of the wildest fan theories are like weirdly accurate to what is happening in the movie," Holland told Vanity Fair France. "I feel like I don't want to give any fuel to the flames before the movie comes out." Holland, who has given away some pretty big reveals in the past then added when he was pushed on which ones, "I can't my lips are sealed."

Zendaya agreed, adding to the publication that some fans have been absolutely "spot on" with their ideas. "What Tom and I enjoy is looking at people's fan theories and thinking some are spot on, some are really far off and some have really great ideas," she added. "I'm not sure I can think of any off the top of my head but people are very creative. "

Now, we're racking our brains about what theories Holland and Zendaya might be referring to here as a lot of mysteries still exist around the movie. Chief among them are two questions: who is Sadie Sink playing and who is the movie's main villain?

A lot of speculation, ever since the Stranger Things star was announced, have suggested that Sink will be playing X-Men star Jean Grey. However, the latest trailer only showed a glimpse at her character and it's still not entirely clear who exactly she is.

Meanwhile, Holland recently confirmed that the movie's final villain still has not been confirmed. "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," Holland teased to ProSieben.

There are plenty of adversaries that have been teased, including The Hand, Scorpion, Tombstone, Boomerang, Tarantula, and Ramrod. However, it seems none of these will be the main big bad that Holland's Spidey will face.
