Who is Sadie Sink playing in the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer?

The first Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer has arrived, marking Tom Holland’s return as the web-slinger after five years. Launched in bite-size clips over 24 hours, the teaser offers early looks at the Punisher, Bruce Banner and a new character played by Tramell Tillman.

Sadie Sink was announced as part of the cast in March 2025, but her role remains a mystery. The trailer gives little away and she seems absent for the most part, though moments of Spider-Man clutching his head and losing control of his powers have prompted speculation about telekinesis or telepathy — signs that point toward Jean Grey and a possible X‑Men connection.

Other fan theories cast Sink as several red-headed characters: Rachel Cole, an ex-Marine allied with the Punisher that could explain camo pants and cargo boots spotted on set; Angelica Jones (Firestar), who manipulates microwave radiation; Gwen Stacy, which seems less likely; or Screwball, the streamer, since streaming equipment appears in one shot.
