Sadie Sink and Kevin Feige set tongues wagging around Spider-Man: Brand New Day

The claim that Sadie Sink will debut as Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day grew from a spark created by Kevin Feige and highlighted by Deadline.

During the Disney APAC Content Showcase, Feige told executives and press that viewers would soon see “X-Men players that you might recognize.”

He added that this would happen before Secret Wars opens a “new age of mutants.” That quote got creators like Josh on X obsessing over every little hint like it was a secret message from the MCU gods that Jean Gray would be in the upcoming instalment of Spider-Man, leaving the web slinging for Sadie Sink.

Deadline also pointed out that no recognizable X-Men have appeared in MCU live-action films after Deadpool & Wolverine, so the guessing game shifted directly toward upcoming releases. Spider-Man: Brand New Day sits neatly in that queue, almost begging for a surprise.

The rumor aligns with the mutant rollout described and fits Marvel’s current setup stage. Spider-Man suddenly looks like a gateway into the next wave of mutant stories, and the timing feels almost too perfect.

As the speculation tightens around the schedule, the next segment explores how Sadie Sink's potential role expands beyond one name and spills into a spectrum of possibilities.

Sadie Sink could play multiple roles in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Sadie Sink may be the rumored Jean Grey, yet her potential goes far beyond one legendary mutant. Her name has been linked to Mary Jane Watson, the villain Shathra, Punisher ally Rachel Cole-Alves, and even Mayday Parker.

She will return in Avengers: Secret Wars with the same hidden identity. Marvel’s refusal to reveal her character turns every theory into fuel, and each possibility sends the anticipation climbing higher.

Her October appearance on the Spider-Man: Brand New Day set created even more intrigue. She walked with an oversized jacket hiding every detail while the theories multiplied. Viewers now wonder whether she will arrive as a mutant, a love interest, a multiversal Spider-hero, or a darker figure with an unexpected twist.

Her role appears significant enough to connect Spider-Man: Brand New Day directly into the next Avengers event, and her path continues to rise along with her presence across major franchises.
