Sadie Sink Joins the MCU: First Look at Spider-Man: Brand New Day Set Photos
Sadie Sink has officially joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe. New set photos from Spider-Man: Brand New Day reveal her first appearance alongside Tom Holland and Zendaya.
Marvel fans just got their first real glimpse of Sadie Sink on the set of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the upcoming fourth Spider-Man movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The sighting marks Sink’s official entry into the MCU, and excitement is already skyrocketing as speculation builds about who she might be playing.
Filming and Production Details
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who previously worked on Homecoming, Far From Home, and No Way Home.
Filming officially began on August 3, 2025, in Glasgow, Scotland, operating under the working title “Blue Oasis.” The city’s Merchant City and George Square districts were transformed into a bustling New York City, complete with yellow cabs and fake storefronts.
The film’s cinematographer, Brett Pawlak, reunites with Cretton after Shang-Chi, while the Jackie Chan Stunt Team is once again behind the fight choreography — a promising sign that the action will be intense and practical.
Cast and Returning Faces
Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker, joined by Zendaya (MJ), Jacob Batalon (Ned), Jon Bernthal (The Punisher), Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Michael Mando (Mac Gargan), and Marvin Jones III, who has been confirmed to play Lonnie Lincoln, better known as Tombstone.
Sadie Sink’s character has not yet been revealed, but fans are already theorizing possible roles — from Gwen Stacy to a new original character tied to the multiverse.
Newcomers Tramell Tillman, Alex Breaux, and Nell Fisher also join the cast, alongside returning MCU figures, hinting that Brand New Day may tie into the larger Phase Six storyline.
Possible Villains: Mister Negative and Rhino?
Set photos have given fans a few major clues about the movie’s villains. Vehicles marked with a red demon logo were spotted on set, leading Total Film’s Bradley Russell to speculate that Mister Negative could make his MCU debut.
Meanwhile, an enormous rhinoceros-shaped prop was seen on location, suggesting Rhino might return in some form — potentially as a reimagined version of the villain teased in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Tom Holland’s On-Set Injury and Filming Locations
Filming also took place in Surrey’s Brookwood Cemetery and Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire. Later in September, production briefly paused when Tom Holland suffered a mild concussion performing a stunt. He recovered quickly, and the schedule remained on track.
Additional scenes were filmed in Basingstoke, England, where Holland was joined by Michael Mando, confirming Mac Gargan’s return to the Spider-Man universe.
Why Fans Are Excited About Sadie Sink’s MCU Debut
Sadie Sink, best known for her role as Max Mayfield in Stranger Things, has built a reputation for powerful and emotional performances. Her casting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day signals Marvel’s commitment to bringing fresh talent into the fold.
While her role remains under wraps, her first on-set appearance — alongside Holland and what appears to be a Demogorgon-style villain tease in the concept art — has already set the internet ablaze.
The Future of Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, serving as both a direct sequel to No Way Home and a launchpad for new Phase Six storylines.
With Cretton’s direction, Sink’s addition, and early hints of multiple villains, this could be the most ambitious Spider-Man entry yet, blending high-stakes storytelling with grounded character drama.
As filming continues across the UK, fans are eagerly awaiting Marvel’s official synopsis — and, most importantly, the reveal of who Sadie Sink will play when she officially swings into theaters.

Sweet Magnolias Season 5 Is Coming to Netflix This June: Serenity’s Favourite Trio Returns for More Drama and Heart
Sweet Magnolias Season 5 arrives on Netflix this June with all 10 episodes — JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley return to Serenity, South Carolina for another season of friendship, romance, and small-town drama from Sherryl Woods’ beloved book series.
Good news for fans of one of Netflix’s most comforting and consistently satisfying dramas: Sweet Magnolias Season 5 is on its way to Netflix in June 2026, and it brings all ten episodes at once for the perfect weekend binge. Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue are back in Serenity, South Carolina — and life, as ever, refuses to stay simple.
Why Sweet Magnolias Has Endured
In a streaming landscape that churns through prestige drama and high-concept spectacle, Sweet Magnolias has built its loyal audience on something harder to manufacture: genuine warmth. The show, based on the bestselling book series by Sherryl Woods, has always been about the texture of real friendship between women — the kind that survives marriages, divorces, businesses, failures, and the thousand complications that accumulate over a lifetime in a small town.
JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Maddie Townsend, Brooke Elliott as Dana Sue Sullivan, and Heather Headley as Helen Decatur form one of the most genuinely enjoyable trios on television — and Season 5 promises to put their friendships, their romances, and their beloved spa through the wringer one more time.
What to Expect in Season 5
Season 4 ended with several storylines left tantalizingly unresolved — relationships at crossroads, professional challenges mounting, and the kind of small-town drama that Sweet Magnolias has always understood better than most. Season 5 will pick up exactly where things left off, with the creative team promising both deeper emotional territory and the kind of satisfying romantic payoffs that have kept fans returning season after season.
Sweet Magnolias Season 5 is coming to Netflix this June with all 10 episodes available at once. Serenity awaits.

Michael Jackson: The Verdict Is on Netflix — The 2005 Trial the World Judged Without Watching Gets Its Full Examination
Michael Jackson: The Verdict dropped June 3 on Netflix — a 3-part docuseries by Nick Green reconstructing the 2005 criminal trial with courtroom archival footage, juror interviews, and key witnesses, giving the most-watched and least-understood trial in American history its full examination.
In the aftermath of the blockbuster Michael Jackson biopic film released earlier this year, Netflix has dropped the definitive documentary examination of the most controversial chapter of his life. Michael Jackson: The Verdict — a three-part docuseries that premiered on June 3, 2026 — reopens the 2005 criminal trial that captivated — and divided — the world, and finally gives it the rigorous, close-up treatment it never received at the time.
The Trial Everyone Judged and Almost No One Watched
The 2005 trial of Michael Jackson was watched in fragments, filtered through tabloids, and reduced to punchlines before the jury had even delivered its verdict. Michael Jackson: The Verdict takes a different approach: it goes inside the courtroom, reconstructing the proceedings with archival footage and in-depth interviews with those who were actually there — jurors, eyewitnesses, journalists who covered every day of proceedings, and individuals connected to both the prosecution and defense.
The three episodes cover the full arc: the 2003 documentary that ignited the firestorm, the two-year road to trial, the prosecution’s case and its eventual collapse, and the not-guilty verdict that satisfied no one and left wounds that have never fully healed.
A Compelling, Complicated Portrait
Directed by Nick Green and produced by Candle True Stories, The Verdict is not a takedown and not a rehabilitation. It is an examination — of the evidence, the witnesses, the failures of the prosecution, and the enduring questions about Jackson‘s complex legacy. Variety called it “compelling,” and that assessment feels exactly right.
All three episodes of Michael Jackson: The Verdict are streaming now on Netflix. Essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand one of the most watched and least understood trials in American history.

Cape Fear Premieres Tomorrow on Apple TV+: Scorsese, Spielberg, Javier Bardem and Amy Adams in the Year’s Most Unhinged New Series
Cape Fear premieres June 5 on Apple TV+ — executive produced by Scorsese and Spielberg, created by Nick Antosca, starring Javier Bardem as exonerated Max Cady and Amy Adams as the defense attorney he’s coming for. Critics call it a deliciously overamped fever dream.
Tomorrow, June 5, Apple TV+ unleashes what may be the most audacious new series of the summer. Cape Fear — a 10-episode limited series with Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg as executive producers — stars Javier Bardem and Amy Adams in a modern reinvention of one of cinema’s most iconic psychological thrillers. Critics are calling it “deliciously overamped” and “a lurid fever dream.” Consider that a recommendation.
Max Cady Is Free — and He’s Coming for Everything
In this bold reimagining, Bardem‘s Max Cady is released from prison after a devastating revelation: his former mistress died by suicide and left behind evidence proving that she — not Cady — murdered his wife and unborn child. Exonerated and celebrated by the media as “the most famous exoneree in America,” Cady has every reason to be angry. And he is.
His target is the Bowden family. Anna Bowden (Amy Adams) was Cady’s defense attorney. Tom Bowden (Patrick Wilson) was the prosecutor. They got together shortly after the trial — and for Cady, that is the ultimate betrayal. What follows is a systematic, escalating invasion of their lives, their sense of safety, and their understanding of who they are.
The Creative Team That Makes It Unmissable
Created and showrun by Nick Antosca (The Act, Brand New Cherry Flavor), Cape Fear is the kind of project that only gets made when every element aligns. The combination of Scorsese, Spielberg, Antosca, Bardem, and Adams should not work this well — and from early reviews, it absolutely does. CCH Pounder, Anna Baryshnikov, and Jamie Hector round out the ensemble.
New episodes of Cape Fear will drop every Friday on Apple TV+ through July 31. The first two episodes land tomorrow, June 5. This one will be talked about all summer.
