The actress will be seen playing the lead role alongside the lead actor Tom Holland in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and is also expected to reprise her role in “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
During a recent sit-down with other stars from the upcoming film, Sink revealed that Holland was the first Spider-Man ever saw them on screen, a statement that has since caused shock among many fans and long-time followers of the franchise.
Sadie Sink was spotlighted during a recent sit-down with her co-stars from the upcoming “Spider-Man” movie, which will mark her debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
During the interviewthe “Stranger Things” star was asked to share her favorite moment of Tom Holland as Spider-Man.
Before answering the question directly, Sink revealed that Holland was actually the first Spider-Man she had ever seen on screen.
Her comment left Holland visibly surprised. “Really and truly?” he replied, asking Sink to confirm, “Yes, you are.”
Still in disbelief, Holland replied, “No way,” before jokingly adding, “Not the best then,” referring to Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, who played the role before the franchise became part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Spider-Man fans are weighing in on the actress’ confession
Sink’s comments drew mixed reactions from Spider-Man fans online, with some finding her comments unexpected while others saw them as completely predictable.
“Not really surprising that he was the first Spider-Man she’s seen, considering her age,” one person said wrote.
One commenter suggested that Sink’s reaction likely stemmed from the fact that she wasn’t really into Spider-Man growing up, and another fan agreed.
“I think that’s most likely, yes. I know people around my age whose first Spider-Man was also Holland, because they ended up at Marvel thanks to the MCU,” the user said.
“I think I’m younger than her and my dad put me in the Tobey movies before I could form complete sentences,” another person commented. “I mean, it’s not incredible by any means, but it is a little bit surprising.”
Sadie Sink praises Tom Holland’s early Peter Parker days
Sink went on to explain why Holland’s portrayal of Spider-Man resonated so strongly with her childhood.
“I don’t think I’ll ever forget seeing the first Tom ‘Spider-Man’ movie,” she said. “You were the Spider-Man of my generation, and you felt so representative of that.”
Looking back on Holland’s early days as Peter Parker, Sink added, “So I definitely like your early Peter Parker days.”
Holland responded by revealing that the first film in his ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy remains especially meaningful to him.
“I think that film has a very special place in my heart for me too,” he said. “Of that trilogy, it’s probably my favorite because I look back and just see this young kid. You have no idea what’s going to happen. I love that movie too. It’s my favorite.”
Sink says Holland carries Spider-Man with grace
Not wanting to abandon the original question, the interviewer brought it up again.
In response, Sink avoided referencing any specific moment or quote from Holland’s time as Spider-Man. Instead, she praised the way he has embraced the responsibility that comes with portraying one of the world’s most beloved superheroes.
“My favorite thing about Tom’s Spider-Man is the way Tom interacts with Spider-Man outside of Spider-Man,” the actress said.
Sink noted that millions of fans, especially children, look up to Peter Parker and Spider-Man, and she praised Holland for carrying that responsibility with “such grace.”
“He understands that when you stand in front of these kids, you’re Spider-Man,” she added. “I just love seeing you carry Spider-Man through your life in real life.”
Fans still think Sadie Sink can play Jean Gray
Sink was announced as part of the cast in March 2025, several months before filming of the episode began.
As for who she will play, the leading theory among fans is that she will be introduced as the “X-Men” character Jean Grey.
However, that speculation has yet to be confirmed by the studio and the film’s trailer offers few clues about her role.
Sink is also expected to return in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ where she will reprise her undisclosed role when the film hits theaters on December 17, 2027.
