Sadie Sink Gives ‘X-Men’ Filming Update, Talks Cyclops Casting

SPOILERS: This post contains details about Sadie Sink‘s Spider-Man: Brand New Day character

While her newly revealed MCU character can read minds, Sadie Sink is being kept in the dark on the casting process of her future X-Men co-stars.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day actress admitted that she’s being kept “a little bit separate” from the casting for Cyclops/Scott Summers in the upcoming Jake Schreier-helmed reboot, for which Deadline recently reported Kit Connor has read.

“So, I’m finding out through Jake,” Sink told Vanity Fair. “There’s also so many online rumors, but it’s coming together. I think the timing of it is so exciting, and the way they planned it out is really clever just with introducing one of the mutants, a very important mutant through Spider-Man. I think a great cast is coming together, and I think people are going to be really excited about it when it’s all announced.”

When asked about Connor auditioning to play the love interest of her character Jean Grey, Sink responded, “Did he? There’s always the rumors, and I just never know what’s official.”

As Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered last weekend, Sink’s mysterious character was confirmed as the all-powerful mutant with telekinetic and telepathic abilities, implying her involvement in the upcoming Marvel Studios update on the super-powered team.

“We’ll shoot X-Men, and then I’m going to do a series with FX and A24 called The Marriage Plot, so that’ll be next year,” Sink noted. “With Stranger Things ending, it’ll feel weird next year not being like, Oh wait, we got to shoot another season. We have to get ready to go back to Atlanta to shoot. It’s exciting to be able to have more room in the schedule.”

With casting underway on Schreier’s X-Men, Deadline previously reported that Samara Weaving has been offered the part of Emma Frost.
