Overview
- Entertainment reporter Jeff Sneider said on The Hot Mic that he hears Sadie Sink plays Jean Grey in the upcoming Spider-Man film, with a couple of reliable leakers backing the claim.
- Marvel has not identified Sink’s character, and the first trailer kept both her role and the film’s primary foe under wraps despite showing Boomerang, Tarantula, Tombstone, Scorpion, and The Hand.
- Sneider also claimed Anne Hathaway and Sarah Snook passed on a key female role and said Marvel then expanded Jean Grey’s screen time, which remains unconfirmed by the studio.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day is slated for a July 31, 2026 release with Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo in the cast.
- Coverage varies in tone, with ComicBook.com arguing the secrecy points to a high-profile reveal and Dark Horizons saying the Jean Grey casting appears true yet still lacks official confirmation, which suggests a planned rollout to fold mutants into the MCU.
