20 Wild Theories For Upcoming Movies
15. Sadie Sink Is Playing Jean Grey - Spider-Man: Brand New Day
The moment that Sadie Sink was cast in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, speculation ran rampant about who she might be playing, because after all, why hire one of the most prominent Stranger Things actors for a nothingburger role?
There have been various decent guesses, like Gwen Stacy or Felicia Hardy aka Black Cat, though by far the most compelling theory is that Sink will be playing the Marvel Cinematic Universe's iteration of Jean Grey.
Having Sink play such an iconic character would certainly explain all the cloak-and-dagger secrecy surrounding her role, and it would be a smart way to begin introducing the X-Men to the MCU, by having a popular actress portray one of the group's most iconic characters.
Plus, Jean's telepathic abilities would provide an easy out for MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) to have their memories of Peter (Tom Holland) restored by the end of the movie without it feeling like a totally contrived ass-pull.
