Sadie Sink has glided through the Stranger Things glow like a mystery in designer sneakers, admired, watched, yet never fully revealed. Her presence alone can break fan forums or make a viral Reel hum. Just when everyone thought they had her figured out, a hint dropped in and revealed the pivot that theater geeks have been waiting for. Shakespeare is suddenly on her horizon.

While Hawkins cemented her as a pop-culture icon, Sink’s gaze now turns to Shakespeare, promising a cerebral twist only bold ambition can deliver.

Sadie Sink is clearly playing the long game, and in a recent Glamour interview, she revealed her next big ambitions: “I’m really interested in Shakespeare right now because that feels like a pillar. I think it would unleash something in me, on a personal level.” After nearly a decade on Stranger Things, Sink is moving from Netflix stardom to the theater, with a confirmed West End debut in Romeo & Juliet.

Her career reads like a masterclass in versatility. The Glamour interview also touched on her other roles. From the skateboarding Max in Stranger Things, whose obsession with Kate Bush’s 'Running Up That Hill' revived a 37-year-old song, to her acclaimed work opposite Brendan Fraser in The Whale, Sink has shown she can navigate blockbuster fandoms and highbrow drama with equal ease. While her public life remains private, her craft keeps expanding in 2025.

As fans marvel at her range, whispers of Marvel intrigue hint at a bigger game: secret sets, hidden characters, and roles cloaked in suspense.

Sadie Sink was reportedly cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day back in March, but her role in the Tom Holland starrer is yet to be confirmed. Fans speculate wildly, Mary Jane, Jean Grey, cosmic villain Shathra, Punisher ally Rachel Cole-Alves, or even Mayday Parker. Deadline confirmed that Sink will reprise her Spider-Man: Brand New Day role in Avengers: Secret Wars, slated for 2027, but offered no insight into who she is playing, keeping theories as tangled as a web.

The last time buzz around Sadie Sink’s Marvel role took off was in late October, when she was spotted on the Spider-Man: Brand New Day set in Basingstoke. Her look, however, remained hidden beneath a large jacket, preserving the ambiguity surrounding her character, both in the film and the larger Marvel universe. While Deadline revealed that she is part of Avengers: Secret Wars, curiosity swirls around the Avengers venture that comes before it, even as she dives into Shakespearean stages.
