Fans of Sadie Sink may have finally received an answer about her mysterious role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, after musician Steve Lacy appeared to accidentally reveal a major detail during the film’s red-carpet premiere. The moment quickly went viral online, with Marvel fans speculating that Sink could be portraying Jean Grey, one of the most iconic characters from the X-Men universe.
Marvel Studios has kept Sink’s role under wraps since her casting was announced, fuelling months of fan theories. The actress, best known for her performances in Stranger Things and The Whale, has not publicly commented on her character, while the studio has also remained silent.
However, during Monday’s premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Steve Lacy, who contributed the song oh yeah? to the film’s soundtrack, appeared to let the secret slip while speaking to reporters on the red carpet.
When asked which character he was most excited for audiences to see, Lacy replied, “You know, what? Jean.”
He then added, “I like Jean. She’s the villain but there’s a reason to her madness.” (Geo News)
The interviewer appeared surprised by the answer and immediately asked whether Lacy had just spoiled Sadie Sink’s role in the film. Rather than clarifying his remarks, the musician simply responded, “I like her. I like her character. I don’t know why.”
Although Lacy never directly mentioned Sink’s name, many fans interpreted his reference to Jean as confirmation that the actress is playing Jean Grey, the powerful mutant from Marvel’s X-Men comics. The possibility has been widely discussed online since Sink joined the cast earlier this year.
The apparent revelation quickly spread across social media platform X, where users reacted with humour and disbelief. Many joked that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige would not be pleased with the accidental disclosure.
One fan wrote, “The cameraman witnessing Feige beating the shit out of Steve Lacy in the back.”
Another commented, “Bro was asked to answer without spoiling anything and failed in under 5 seconds.”
A third user argued that the surprise had already become difficult to keep secret, writing, “It’s a spoiler, but at the same time it’s not because who doesn’t know the Jean Grey in the movie. They did a terrible job keeping the secret under wraps.”
Another fan joked, “Kevin Feige will be coming for him.”
Neither Marvel Studios nor Sony Pictures has commented on Lacy’s remarks, and Sink has also remained silent regarding the speculation. Until the filmmakers officially confirm the casting, fans will have to wait to see whether the musician genuinely revealed one of the movie’s biggest secrets or whether his comments were misunderstood.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 31 July 2026. With excitement already running high ahead of its release, Lacy’s comments have only intensified speculation about how the Marvel Cinematic Universe may introduce the X-Men through Sadie Sink’s mysterious character.
