Spider-Man: Brand New Day set photos raise one Sadie Sink question

by

Recent set photos from the upcoming Spider-Man movie have sparked speculation that Sadie Sink might be playing a villainous version of The Punisher.

Fans were naturally curious about the next Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Tom Holland’s Spider-Man teamed up with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s versions of the hero in No Way Home.

For months, fans online have been buzzing with guesses about potential cameos and storylines, particularly regarding Sadie Sink’s role. Many wondered if she’d appear as Mayday Parker, Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson’s daughter from a different reality, while others predicted she might play Jean Grey from the X-Men.

Recent sightings of actress Deborah Ann Woll on the set of ‘Brand New Day’ have led fans to believe she’ll be playing Rachel Cole in the upcoming sequel. This theory gains traction because Jon Bernthal, who played the Punisher, is also confirmed to appear in the film.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day set photos spark Sadie Sink theory

Recent photos and videos from the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day show actress Sydney Sweeney wearing practical clothing – boots and trousers under a large coat – likely to conceal her character’s costume and maintain secrecy. Fans have speculated the costume hints at her playing Rachel Cole, a character from the comics known for being an ally of The Punisher and having a similarly sad past.

In 2011, Cole debuted in the comic series The Punisher, created by Greg Rucka and Marco Checchetto. She’s a Marine veteran with red hair who served in Afghanistan and later settled in New York City.

Okay, so things went really sideways at my wedding. It turned into a total bloodbath – some guys working for this creep called the Owl and a nasty syndicate known as the Exchange just opened fire. I was the only one who made it out alive, and honestly, it flipped a switch in me. I decided I was going to take the Exchange down. It took a while, but I eventually teamed up with the Punisher, even though we didn’t exactly see eye-to-eye at first. We had some friction, but we eventually figured out how to work together.

Throughout the story, the duo encountered heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil as they tried to recover a hard drive pointing to other criminal groups. Given the film’s focus on gritty, street-level action, it would fit well to include a character connected to the Punisher.

I’ve been scrolling through Reddit and everyone’s losing it over Sadie’s look! A lot of us think her red hair and those combat boots are a huge hint that she’s playing Cole. One person put it perfectly, saying the camo pants and boots scream Rachel Cole. There’s also a rumor going around that Frank might have a female companion, and it seems like Sadie could be it!

Someone else suggested it might be Rachel Cole, a red-haired woman who works with the Punisher. They pointed out she appears to be wearing military boots and pants beneath her coat.

Early images from the set hinted that the ‘Inner Demons’ gang, led by Mr. Negative, will be involved in the upcoming ‘Brand New Day’ storyline. This suggests Marvel might be changing the story of how Cole’s wedding was tragically attacked, possibly making Mr. Negative’s group responsible. We’ll have to wait and see if that’s the case.
