With Spider-Man: Brand New Day hitting theaters on July 31, rumors that star Sadie Sink is playing X-Men icon Jean Grey have reached a fever pitch. In a recent interview, one host tried to trap the actress into confirming the role by using a playful word-association game, which left Sink visibly nervous but ultimately tight-lipped.
Sink’s role remains a closely guarded secret, though trailers have heavily hinted at her character wielding psychic powers. Reports suggest she is set for a larger MCU role, potentially bridging the gap toward Marvel’s upcoming X-Men reboot in Avengers: Secret Wars.
