The new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer was released yesterday, but for those of you who watched the leaked version, it was light on surprises. Still, seeing it in 4K was a welcome treat, and one that means we now have a much closer look at Sadie Sink’s Jean Grey.<\/p>\n
As expected, she is indeed the one in the green and yellow jacket, which feels like a very deliberate nod to the comic book costume worn by Jean. Is the Stranger Things alum really playing the mutant, though?<\/p>\n
That’s what several insiders have repeatedly said, and short of this being one of the biggest superhero movie misinformation campaigns ever, it seems Spider-Man: Brand New Day will indeed mark the MCU debut of Marvel Girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why is Jean seemingly this movie’s lead villain, though? It could be that she’s lashing out after being captured by the Department of Damage Control. Alternatively, the young hero\u00a0may have fallen under their influence, something the comic book version of the character has a history with, based on what’s happened with the Phoenix Force.<\/p>\n
Lending some weight to theories that the DODC are the movie’s true villains is long-overdue confirmation that\u00a0Tramell Tillman is playing\u00a0William Metzger. That’s revealed in the subtitles for the latest\u00a0Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, his comic book counterpart was introduced as a\u00a0prominent Anti-Mutant activist. A prominent leader in the\u00a0Anti-Mutant Militia, he could be a central figure heading into the MCU’s next Saga, especially if the DODC use the Stark Industries technology they seized to create mutant-hunting Sentinels.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back to “Jean,” though, and her presence in this movie still feels a little strange. Hopefully, it all makes sense in the context of the movie itself, as it definitely feels like the trailers are holding a lot back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
