4 Clues From Sadie Sink's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Character Reveal

The second trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day offers another glimpse of Sadie Sink's mysterious MCU character. The writer's prevailing theory has been that the Stranger Things star is playing a new version of Jean Grey ahead of the X-Men reboot, and the latest preview makes that idea feel stronger even though the evidence remains intentionally sparse.

Sink's costume supplies a subtle clue: she wears a long black leather coat, a look associated with Jean Grey and with Famke Janssen's live-action X-Men, who were dressed in black leather rather than comic-accurate uniforms. In a film that routinely packs frames with visual hints, that outfit reads like a coy nod.

Marvel has kept the character's face and hair concealed, and Jean Grey is one of Marvel's most famous redheads. Early speculation suggested Sink might be a new MJ, but the continued presence of Zendaya's character and the film's secrecy have kept attention on Jean.
