Resolution Criteria

Sadie Sink has been cast in a lead villain role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but Marvel and Sony are keeping the specific identity of Sink's character locked tightly. This market resolves based on official confirmation from Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures, or the filmmakers regarding which character Sink portrays. Resolution sources include:

• Official Marvel/Sony press releases or announcements

• Director Destin Daniel Cretton or producer statements

• Cast interviews where the character is officially revealed

• The film itself upon release on July 31, 2026

If Marvel never officially confirms Sink's character identity before or after the film's release, this market resolves N/A.

Background

While the specific identity remains a mystery, speculation points towards iconic characters like Felicia Hardy, a.k.a. The Black Cat. Fan theories range from X-Men's Jean Grey to Mary Jane Watson. Recent rumors suggest Sink's character has mind-control powers and manipulates DODC guards to help Scorpion escape prison, which has fueled Jean Grey speculation. When asked about the theories, Sink noted that "hair color can change", hinting that physical appearance shouldn't be taken as definitive evidence.

Considerations

The film's "Brand New Day" subtitle indicates a back-to-basics approach focusing on gritty, street-level crime in New York City, which may influence which character makes narrative sense. Sink is confirmed to reprise her role in Avengers: Secret Wars, suggesting her character will be significant enough for future MCU appearances, which could narrow possibilities depending on which characters are expected in that film.
