Sadie Sink’s 5 Best Movies and Shows to Watch Before Spider-Man: Brand New Day

There’s been plenty of MCU news recently, and many of those involved the long-awaited fourth instalment of the new Spider-Man franchise with Tom Holland in the titular role.

Just this week, the future movie received its official title, which is Spider-Man: Brand New Day now, and a release date as it’s scheduled to arrive in theatres on July 31 next year. However, things started shifting a while ago when Stranger Things ’ star Sadie Sink officially joined the upcoming film’s cast with a yet unknown role.

While fans keep sharing their thoughts on who the actress will eventually portray in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, others might find another way to make a long wait a little bit more pleasant, checking out some of the most successful projects that Sink previously starred in.

O’Dessa (2025)

One of the most recent releases on digital platforms, O’Dessa stars Sadie Sink as the eponymous farm girl setting out to find her family in the retro-styled futuristic landscapes.

While traveling across the mysterious land, O’Dessa arrives in a dangerous and pretty weird city where, surprisingly, she finds her true love; however, the fairytale might be far from its happy ending once she realises that both her relationship and soul have to go through severe tests before she reunites with her family.

A Sacrifice (2024)

Also helmed by Ridley Scott who in here comes on board as one of the producers, A Sacrifice explores different dark sides of cultism, following Eric Bana’s social psychologist Ben Monroe who decides to relocate to Berlin while pursuing bigger achievements in his cult studies.

However, the subject of his biggest interest suddenly enters his life from a different perspective when Ben finds out about his rebellious teenage daughter’s involvement in another mysterious cult movement.

Apart from Sink, who portrays Ben’s daughter Mazzy, the movie also stars Sylvia Hoeks, Jonas Dassler and Sophie Rois among others.

The Whale ( 2022)

Darren Aronofsky’s hit Oscar-winning drama saw Sadie Sink taking on the role of Ellie, the estranged daughter of Brendan Fraser ’s Charlie.

One of the frontrunners at the 2023 awards season, The Whale centres on a reclusive and morbidly obese English teacher whose declining health condition prompts him to seek redemption when he makes an attempt to reconnect with his only child who he abandoned years earlier.

The movie revived Brendan Fraser’s acting career that remained in stagnation since the 2010s, also receiving numerous accolades and becoming a box office hit with more than $50 million earned against the budget of $3 million.

Dear Zoe (2022)

Based on Philip Beard’s 2005 novel of the same name, Gren Wells’ drama movie is a bittersweet homage to family bonds, with Sadie Sink starring in the leading role as a sixteen-year-old girl finding a way to pour her feelings out after a family tragedy.

Dear Zoe primarily centres on Tess DeNunzio deciding to write a heartfelt letter to her 3-year-old sister Zoe who died in a hit-and-run accident on the day of the September 11 attacks.

Unable to start a completely new life since, Tess takes Zoe through everything she has experienced ever since, explaining what helped her family to recover from the loss and how she found new sources of love and support that make her better with every new day.

American Odyssey (2015)

One of the most surprising findings in Sink’s current filmography, American Odyssey is an action thriller TV series following the US Army members during a secret mission in Mali which helps them uncover a major conspiracy involving Islamist terror groups.

Initially conceived as a modern-day version of Homer’s legendary poem Odyssey, the series starred Sink in one of the leading roles as Suzanne Ballard; however, it was cancelled after the first season right in the midst of its TV run.
