Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> director Destin Daniel Cretton says they’re refusing to reveal Sadie Sink’s character for a good reason… and that we won’t be mad about it.<\/p>\n

“If people are gonna get mad, I can’t control that!” Cretton told Rolling Stone<\/a>. “I wish everything was a secret. Some people wanna know everything, and some people don’t. There are certain people like me… if I know I’m gonna watch a movie, I try not to even watch the trailers.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“But you’ll see when you watch the movie that there’s a very real reason not to tell people who Sadie Sink is playing,” Cretton continued. “And I don\u2019t think you’ll get mad at it. I think you’ll be like, ‘Oh, I’m glad I didn’t know that.'”<\/p>\n

In the various Brand New Day trailers<\/a>, Peter is faced with a “powerful threat” that no one can seem to defeat or even sense. The threat in question seems to be able to control minds and temporarily disable Spidey from using his powers… which are powers that founding X-Men member Jean Grey does indeed possess.<\/p>\n

But, I ask you, why would Jean Grey be a bad guy right off the bat… unless she’s playing the Dark Phoenix version of Jean Grey, or Madelyne Pryor, who is Jean Grey’s ‘evil’ clone (and featured in X-Men ’97 season 1). Either way, I will be seated.<\/p>\n
