Director Destin Daniel Cretton is defending the decision to keep Sadie Sink’s character identity in Spider-Man: Brand New Day under wraps until the film’s release. While fans have widely speculated that Sink is playing Jean Grey, the director insists there is a “very real reason” for the secrecy that viewers will ultimately appreciate.
Sink herself has jokingly called the strict embargo “torture” during the film’s promotional tour. Audiences won’t have to wait much longer for the reveal, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to hit theaters on July 31.
