"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is set to hit theaters next Wednesday, and Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped regarding the role of Sadie Sink, who is making her MCU debut. Widespread rumors and speculation suggest Sink is portraying Jean Grey, a core member of the "X-Men" franchise, with her appearance potentially paving the way for future mutant storylines.
While speculation runs high and the possibility seems strong, Marvel has yet to officially confirm anything. Even star Tom Holland has vehemently denied the rumors when questioned. In a recent interview with Portuguese YouTuber Natália Kreuser, Kreuser attempted to get Holland to confirm Jean Grey's appearance. However, Holland successfully avoided his notorious spoiler habit, responding only, "She's not in this movie, but it would be cool if she was."
While this might seem like a straightforward clarification, audiences familiar with Marvel Studios' marketing tactics know it's common practice for actors to publicly deny plot points to maintain secrecy. Therefore, the veracity of Holland's statement should be taken with a grain of salt for now.
