Spider-Man: Brand New Day Rumor May Reveal A Major Spoiler Relating To Sadie Sink's Character

We have some rumored details about Sadie Sink's mysterious character in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and if accurate, they will leave little doubt about her identity...

By MarkCassidy - Jun 03, 2026 11:06 AM EST

Though the character Stranger Things star Sadie Sink is playing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still officially under wraps, we'd be very surprised if she didn't turn out to be Jean Grey - especially after these latest details.

According to MTTSH, Sink's character will "use her powers to freeze everyone in New York."

Assuming this doesn't refer to her turning the population of NYC into human popsicles, Ice-Man style, it certainly sounds like Sink's mysterious "villain" is a very powerful telepath.

Whoever Sink is playing, there's a chance her real identity will remain under wraps for a good chunk of the movie. A recent character description from an international site reads: "A mysterious figure, whose true identity remains unknown, is also lurking in the shadows; his allegiance is uncertain."

@Cryptic4KQual responded by claiming that Sink's character will remain mysterious "throughout most of the film."

MTTSH also shared some dialogue from (presumably) the next trailer.

Following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins a brand new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult and living alone after erasing himself and the memories of him from those he loves. In a New York that no longer knows his name, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting his city as Spider-Man full-time.

But as the demands on him grow, he is put under increasing pressure. This triggers an unexpected physical change that threatens his existence, while a strange wave of crime emerges - and gives rise to one of the most dangerous threats he has ever faced.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O'Connor. The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is set to hit theaters on July 31, 2026.

OMG, how many articles a week are going to be written about "Major Rumor on Sadie Sink's Character" at this point it seems like the only character that's not been rumored is Black Widow. Enough already.

@DocSpock - It sounds way more like the Queen (Ana Soria) than Jean Grey. The Queen is a mutant with telepathy and telekinesis. She’s the villain of the storylines the movie is adapting. Read this for context:

@DocSpock - Spider-Man being immune to her power and mind controlling the city are also plot points from Spider-Island.

@Gnostic -

I read that, but I think it is wrong
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/4/2026, 4:31 PM
@DocSpock - I read X-Men comics, and I think it would be weird to depict Jean willing to kill innocent people for an agenda and stalk Spider-Man (that’s the Queen’s MO). If that is the case then Marvel basically ruined Jean like they did Wanda in MoM.
DocSpock
DocSpock - 6/4/2026, 4:39 PM
@Gnostic -

We don't actually know that will play out like that. Those are just rumors with no facts in evidence.

She's Jean. They won't waste an actress with her current cache on a character no one other than comic readers ever heard of. And I have read and own every X-Men comic ever written.

@DocSpock - What I said was shown in trailers (both the leaked and official version) and the official synopses, not rumors.

Did you see the role Marvel gave Emilia Clarke after Game of Thrones? I can list countless of other example of big actors playing obscure comic characters. Ben Kingsley, Evan Peters, the Eternals cast, etc. Not to mention Marvel made movies about the Guardian of Galaxy and Shang-Chi. Do you think the general audience knew about them? No. No offense, but what you’re arguing is just weird when you look at the MCU’s history.

@Patient2670 - same

Also as I have gotten older , I appreciate that film atleast trying to get into the psychology of Bruce even though I don’t think it’s very successful in its execution.

SORRY!

But Marvel Studios NOT going turn Sadie Sink, Jean Grey into the Villain.

@FrankenDad -

certainly, sounds like Sink's mysterious "villain" is a very powerful telepath.

@MarkCassidy - Time will but I can't wait.

Sadie Sink has reportedly signed a five-film Marvel Studios deal with an option to extend into television projects, marking one of the more substantial commitments Marvel has given in recent years.

This structure is typical for major franchise pillars — not a one-off appearance, but a long-term build into the MCU’s story.

@OneMoreTime - Jean Grey has always had a "dark side" to her. She may start off as a villain, but won't end up that way.
OneMoreTime
OneMoreTime - 6/3/2026, 12:48 PM
@Patient2670 - I know the Dark Phoenix story, but she's never been both at the same time.
TheFinestSmack
TheFinestSmack - 6/3/2026, 1:25 PM
@OneMoreTime - I think she'll be Jean, but soon after her powers manifested. Any damage she has done has been caused by her trying to figure out her powers. She'll spend the latter part of the movie trying to make things right.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/3/2026, 1:43 PM
@Patient2670 - Uh, no. Jean’s dark side didn’t show up until after she became Phoenix. This was many years after her introduction and it was forced out of her by cosmic power.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/3/2026, 1:48 PM
@TheFinestSmack - The villain doesn’t seem to have trouble controlling their powers based on the trailer. They are making a possessed old lady fire bullets at Spider-Man and the cops, and are apparently breaking into a prison to free Scorpion.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/3/2026, 2:01 PM
@OneMoreTime - That’s a rumor from MTTSH (unreliable source who is known for making up BS). Kevin Feige said they don’t lock actors into long contracts anymore. Also, the actor who played Crossbones had a 7-picture deal.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/3/2026, 2:21 PM
@OneMoreTime - It sounds like the Queen. Spider-Man immunity and the city being taken over are plot points from Spider-Island.
OneMoreTime
OneMoreTime - 6/3/2026, 3:47 PM
@Gnostic - Sadie Sink contract is 100% true.

Feel free to check.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/3/2026, 4:12 PM
@OneMoreTime - I did check. And the source of the 5-contract claim is MTTSH, who also claimed that Sydney Sweeney was cast as Black Cat in the movie.
OneMoreTime
OneMoreTime - 6/3/2026, 4:17 PM
@Gnostic - My Source didn't even mention Sydney Sweeney at all.
Gnostic
Gnostic - 6/4/2026, 4:27 PM
@OneMoreTime - Your sources source is probably MTTSH.

TheVisionary25 - 6/3/2026, 11:25 AM
That sounds like a pretty cool moment if true…

Also an intriguing element of Peter is the only that can sense her and is immune to her abilities which certainly adds a fun wrinkle imo.

Anyway , If Sadie is Jean (which I still find this to be an odd yet exciting place to introduce the character) then I think she’ll be great since she can play her empathy and complexity well imo!!.

Her character will be Susan Jeanette Grayson. But her friends call her Jean Grey :/

Is it possible that they're referring to someone else? The rumer does refer to the character as a he.

"A mysterious figure, whose true identity remains unknown, is also lurking in the shadows; his allegiance is uncertain."

All of that sounds way more like the Queen than Jean Grey. Those are plot points from Spider-Island.
