This year is set to be an eventful one for Sadie Sink, with several major projects lined up across film and more. The actress was just 14 years old when she filmed Stranger Things Season 2, and since then, she has worked in notable films. From All Too Well: The Short Film to The Whale, Sadie Sink has shown phenomenal performances.

Now, after wrapping up filming for Stranger Things Season 5, Sadie Sink, who plays Max in the series, is gearing up to return with some of the biggest projects of her career yet. With Spider-Man: Brand New Day already on the list, fans are eager to see what else is in store for Sink.

After Stranger Things, Sadie Sink is set to return with a major stage project led by acclaimed theater director Robert Icke. It was recently announced that Sadie Sink will make her London West End debut as Juliet in a new production of Romeo & Juliet, with Noah Jupe cast as Romeo.

As per Deadline, the limited 12-week run will begin on March 16 at the Harold Pinter Theatre. What many may not realize is that Sadie Sink has worked in theater before. She worked in community theater before making her Broadway debut and later earned a Tony Award nomination for her performance in John Proctor Is the Villain.

The production will run through June 6, after which Sadie Sink is expected to move on to yet another major Marvel project. Speaking about the upcoming Marvel film, the actress hinted that she is struggling with one thing. 

Sadie Sink feels that Marvel is more secretive than Stranger Things

Sadie Sink is no stranger to keeping secrets, having spent years on the sets of Stranger Things. However, despite her experience across four seasons, she admitted that she struggled to maintain secrecy when it came to her role in the Marvel universe. Even now, details about her character remain under wraps.

"I feel like keeping Stranger Things secrets are kind of easy because I have so many Spider-Man secrets I'm sitting on that feel even more secretive," she told The Hollywood Reporter.

She revealed that she first learned about joining the Spider-Verse while wrapping up Season 5 of the Netflix series. A Spider-Man fan, Sadie Sink, has also shared her admiration for the universe. She will soon join Tom Holland, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, and others who are set to reprise their roles in the upcoming film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

Returning to the theater is also a welcome move for both the actress and her fans. While audiences had to bid a satisfying farewell to Max, they will soon see Sadie Sink take on a very different role as Juliet on stage.
