Comic book Twitter is abuzz with what is reportedly another big leak Spider-Man: Brand New Daywhich supposedly shows the character of Sadie Sink for the first time, costume-wise, in full. Although “suit” is used loosely here.
I’m not going to post in case it’s legit and leaked, but you can see it here. She stands next to The Punisher, wearing a bulky jacket and coat with her red hair sporting bangs.
There is debate as to whether this image is AI or not, as it gets harder to understand with each new image model released (OpenAI just released a dangerously good one yesterday). Although it has a piece of the Gemini logo in the corner, some have said that this is because the low quality image was attempted to be upgraded by this AI system (which gives it this stamp, this is true).
Regardless, this started another debate about whether Sink is Rachel Cole Alves, a redheaded companion of the Punisher, Typhoid Mary, a low-level Marvel villain, or Jean Grey, one of the most important X-Men around.
Many hackers are starting to confirm that whatever is going on with this picture, that yes, it is almost certainly Jean Grey. And for a long time, that’s the only answer that makes sense for two reasons:
1) Why would Marvel hide this for any reason other than it being a really big character reveal? They wouldn’t even show her in the trailer, only giving us a glimpse of her (clearly psychic) powers. Marvel isn’t going to hide that Rachel Cole Alvesfor someone 99.9% of moviegoers will never have heard of, nor will Typhoid Mary, a lesser villain than we’ve seen before Spider-Man movie in any universe. They would hide Jean Grey. They would really only hide Jean Grey.
2) We know that Sadie Sink and her character are coming back Secret Warsthe second Avengers movie that will fully usher in a new MCU era and will no doubt be the first introduction to at least some of the new X-Men we’re going to see explored in the next phase. Then again, the only rumored character that would make sense to transfer to this movie via Sink is… Jean Grey.
I guess I understand why Marvel is hiding this, but it will be fully leaked at some point, or at best, right when the movie comes out. The idea is rather to not take the focus away from Spider-Man himself for now. But all of this is admittedly still weird as what is Jean Gray doing in a Spider-Man movie alongside Peter Parker, The Punisher and Tombstone? What a strange place to make her debut. But everything will be explained in time.
