Rumor has it that Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is set to play Aloy in Netflix’s upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn TV series. Here’s whether any of it is true.
It was an incredible success, selling nearly 25 million copies and paving the way for a sequel, Horizon Forbidden West.
Is Sadie Sink playing Aloy in the Horizon Zero Dawn TV series?
No, Sadie Sink isn’t playing Aloy in the Horizon Zero Dawn TV series, nor does she have any other role in the show at the time of writing.
There’s no reason to believe Sink is in the running for the role. No reports from established outlets or sources have indicated as such.
Social media disinformation posts were the source of the apparent Sadie Sink as Aloy news.
Unfortunately, you may have fallen victim to aFacebook postfrom Upcoming Games. It said Sink “has reportedly been cast as Aloy in the upcoming Horizon Zero Dawn TV series.”
The page also shared a fake poster with Sink stylized as Aloy, created by@diamonddeadon Instagram. To be clear, it isn’t real (even if we kind of wish it was).
Sink proved her prowess in Stranger Things Season 5 when she ripped the nation’s heart out while running up a hill or two. She could easily take on Aloy’s lofty burden.
That’s not to say fans wouldn’t be happy with the actor in the part. “Sadie would be great as Aloy,” one user commented.
“She was able to take a throwaway character [Max] and incorporate herself into a group of already very well-liked characters, eventually becoming a major character herself.” another wrote.
