The 24-year-old actress stars on the first cover of NYLON Next, a new issue featuring the talent of Young Hollywood.

See highlights from the conversation with Sadie Sink…
On performing in Romeo & Juliet during the London heat wave: “Last week was tough, because I could feel the audience just draining and draining and draining as it went on…I was like, ‘Oh God, please, guys, stay with us. I’m here with you, I promise!’”
On watching the Stranger Things finale: “I was watching it with my brother and he started crying and then I started crying…It’s been 10 years. It’s seen us through so many different phases of our lives. All good things must end.”
On her time as a temporary Londoner coming to an end: “It’s felt like such a chapter, being in London and really feeling like I’ve made a home for myself here…But it’ll be good. I miss my home. The cats are ready to go back. They’re telling me all the time.”
On discovering the complexities of Juliet’s character: “She has these really big ideas, yet she lives in isolation…As someone who spends a lot of time alone, I was like, ‘Oh, actually, I relate to that a lot.’”
On her Tony nomination: “It was a new space, or a space that I was rediscovering. I felt a lot more sensitive or vulnerable. So to have that recognition, after having gone through the whole spiral of self-doubt and ‘Oh my God, am I even good at this,’ felt like.. oh! OK!”
On falling in love with being onstage again: “I think theater will always be a priority for me.”
On her experience with hiding Stranger Things spoilers: “You just don’t share the secret, it’s not that hard.”
On being brought into the fold of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: “I knew that Marvel was a big deal and had a big brand, especially Spider-Man…I know there’s a huge fan base, but it feels really big. I think these blockbuster movies are a whole different beast.”
On co-star Tom Holland helping to orient her: “It was interesting stepping into that space and being a little bit of an outsider in that way, but he could not have been more welcoming, and just the whole crew in general…He was just so relaxed and open, and I felt very at ease.”
On setting boundaries and stage door culture: “…I’d be onstage and showing very real parts of myself…And so when I have permission to let those guards down, and you’re there with 800 people, but you’re just letting real parts of yourself bleed out — to switch it off and go and meet fans afterwards, it shocked my system a bit to put all those guards back up.”
On West End theater etiquette and everyone grabbings their phone at curtain call: “The lights go off, and then I just see all these faces in the audience because everyone is turning their phone on…I’m like, ‘Guys, give it a minute. Take it in for a second!’”
On being filled with “rage” when seeing iPhone cameras in the audience: “They raised me, those bootlegs, and inspired me so much. That’s why we need to make theater very accessible, so that everyone can go in and see it, but also people from all over the world. That wasn’t accessible to me in Texas, so I get it, but wait for the pro-shot.”
