THE FUSE

Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Who is she playing? No one is quite sure. People are speculating that she is Jean Grey, the telepathic mutant previously played by Sophie Turner and Famke Janssen in Fox’s X-Men movies. But Marvel is being tightlipped about Sink’s role, and yet, for some reason, they’re still sending her out on the movie’s press tour ahead of its premiere next week. I don’t know what kind of restrictions interviewers are being given when speaking to her and the cast, but somehow she hasn’t been bombarded with questions about whether or not she is playing Jean. One interviewer found a way to name-drop the hero, however, and Sink managed to avoid giving anything away.
