At a definite point, pursuing immoderate property for the movie astatine all, it seemed beautiful evident who Sadie Sink would beryllium playing successful Spider-Man: Brand New Day, contempt it being sounded arsenic a secret. A celebrated red-haired character pinch telepathic powers whose domiciled was being kept concealed up of a publically announced preamble of the X-Men successful the MCU. No, she wasn’t going to beryllium Punisher sidekick Rachel Cole-Alves. Rather, arsenic we now tin confirm, Sink is Jean Grey. A spoiler, perhaps, but if you’re looking up Jean Grey online here, you should already cognize that.
So, what does Sadie Sink being introduced to the MCU show america astir the X-Men? Some we whitethorn person guessed; different aspects would beryllium caller information.
- Once and for all, we tin corroborate that we are heading toward a “First Class” situation, wherever this will impact the first assembly of mutants, fixed Sink’s property successful the role. She is 24, but she appears to beryllium playing younger successful the film. When Sophie Turner was introduced arsenic Jean Grey successful the “young X-Men” era, she was 19, truthful expect that range.
- Jean Grey won’t beryllium a supporting character. It took a small while for Jean to go the cardinal fig successful the original X-Men movies, but we person already seen that Sink’s Grey has gone from body-hopping to creating a literal psychic bubble of body-freezing a mile wide, successful summation to instantly processing telekinetic powers connected the spot. No “training period” wherever she slow grows successful power. We conscionable saw that happen. It’s imaginable that she is the main X-Men starring the films to commencement with, alternatively than Rogue aliases Wolverine aliases Professor X arsenic we saw successful the past.
- Marvel seems unfastened to dramatically changing really the X-Men assembly is going to work. This full Jean Grey storyline linking her pinch Spider-Man has perfectly nary ground successful the comics astatine all. And if her communicative has been changed this sharply, it stands to logic that it will hap pinch different characters arsenic well. In the comics, Sara Grey was joined pinch kids, and the 2 of them were “kidnapped by Attuma, who wanted to breed pinch aboveground mutants to create a superior hybrid underwater type that would thief him conquer Earth.” So yes, this storyline was a spot different.
- We cognize that Sink is appearing in Secret Wars, and if that doesn’t corroborate a number of X-Men will beryllium location arsenic well, I don’t cognize what does. This, again, would beryllium a alteration from the original comic story, arsenic Jean Grey does not person a awesome domiciled in Secret Wars. But fixed her high-profile preamble in Brand New Day, it seems for illustration this would beryllium overmuch much than a cameo.
There is astir apt much to extrapolate, but I judge that’s a batch astatine baseline. What other do you deliberation it implies?
