Stranger Thingsstar Sadie Sink, who played Max Mayfield on the popular Netflix show, has just shared the new Spider-Man: Brand New Daytrailer on her Instagram account. Brand New Day, which will hit theaters on July 31, is the newest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s (MCU) Spider-Man movies, which currently comprise Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
In a post that contained no caption or other commentary from the actress, Sink shared the new trailer in full, and already, the post is flooded with comments speculating about Sink’s character in the upcoming movie.

Sink, who does not appear in the trailer, is confirmed to be in Brand New Day, but her character continues to be a mystery. Many have guessed that Sink could be playing Jean Gray or Gwen Stacy, but that is entirely speculation at present—and the trailer didn’t provide any hints about what her role in this story will be.
However, the trailer did offer significantly more insight into what this movie will entail for Peter Parker (Tom Holland). The most recent update on Peter came in Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which everyone’s memories had to be wiped so that they never knew he existed, including his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), and his girlfriend, MJ (Zendaya).
The new trailer begins with Peter watching a video of Ned and MJ together, suggesting that he is still keeping his distance, devastated to have lost them. That seems to be changing as well, though, as the end of the trailer shows Peter introducing himself to MJ as a neighbor (to which she hilariously responds, “Friendly neighbor”).
The trailer also sees the return of the MCU’s Bruce Banner/Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo)—although he, like everyone else, has no memory of Peter Parker/Spider-Man—and suggests that Peter is facing a number of new obstacles due to genetic mutations.
