Sadie Sink, best known for her role in Stranger Things, has an impressive portfolio of other notable projects.

Fans of Stranger Things were left on tenterhooks as Max Mayfield (portrayed by Sadie Sink) remained comatose during the initial episodes of season five.

However, the popular Netflix series offered viewers a glimmer of hope when it was revealed that Max's consciousness was intact but trapped within Vecna's memories, seeking a way out.

As fans eagerly anticipate the release of the next batch of episodes, let's take a look at Sadie Sink's other roles and upcoming projects.

Sink began her career on the Broadway stage, starring in a production of Annie in 2012, followed by The Audience a few years later.

She made a triumphant return to the stage earlier this year with John Proctor Is The Villain, earning her a Tony Award nomination.

The 23-year-old actress made her television debut with single-episode appearances in shows like Tweenies, The Americans, and Blue Bloods before securing her first recurring role.

This came in the form of NBC's conspiracy thriller American Odyssey, where she played Suzanne Ballard across 11 episodes.

Following a minor role in Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Sink landed her first film role as Kimberly, the daughter of heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner, in the 2016 biopic Chuck.

Other films swiftly followed, including the coming-of-age drama 'The Glass Castle' with Woody Harrelson and Naomi Watts, and the Netflix horror film 'Eli' featuring Yellowstone star Kelly Reilly.

In 2021, Sink took on the role of Ziggy Berman in all three instalments of the Fear Street franchise, based on RL Stine's novels.

The Stranger Things star then shifted her focus to another coming-of-age film with a psychological thriller twist, 'Dear Zoe'.

Assuming the lead role of Tess, 'Dear Zoe' centres around a family grappling with an unimaginable loss until unexpected support arrives from her biological father.

She also encounters his "charming but dangerous juvenile delinquent next door neighbour", but can Tess truly trust them?

Arguably, one of her most significant opportunities came in 2022 when she starred alongside 'George of the Jungle' actor Brendan Fraser in 'The Whale'.

The film focuses on morbidly obese Charlie (Brendan Fraser) attempting to mend his relationship with daughter Ellie (Sadie Sink) after abandoning her eight years earlier.

Praising her performance to Vanity Fair, Fraser remarked: "I had a front row seat to watch Sadie blossom before my eyes.

"I had the best seat in the house to watch this kid, young woman, show us how natural and good and talented [she is]."

Following her roles in the horror film 'A Sacrifice' and the coming-of-age musical 'O'Dessa', Sink is gearing up for her Marvel debut in 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'.

She's set to portray the Punisher's vigilante ally, Rachel Cole Alves, with the film slated for a 31 July 2026 release.

Beyond joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she'll also star in the film adaptation of 'John Proctor Is The Villain' as Shelby Holcomb, a role that earned her a Tony Award nomination.

However, before these exciting ventures, the conclusion of Stranger Things looms. Will Max manage to break free from Vecna's mind in time?

Stranger Things season five, part two, premieres on Boxing Day, Friday, December 26, on Netflix.
