Technically speaking, all theories are still in play after the first Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer. That’s because we don’t see Sink appear on-screen, or at least, we don’t get to see her face. Sony is clearly playing into the speculation with that, but the character is seemingly in the trailer. We can see a person in a green jacket with a yellow hood up, which fits with what Sink was wearing in Brand New Day set photos. That same person also appears to be strapped to a chair, seemingly by Damage Control, and again looks like it’s Sink playing that mystery character.
Does The Spider-Man: Brand New Day Trailer Tease Sadie Sink Is Jean Grey?
One of the biggest clues in the Brand New Day trailer is that someone appears to be using mind control: in the scene where Peter finds a woman, surrounded by agents with guns, it appears as though a person is effectively body-hopping, taking over the minds of different people one-by-one. The way it’s edited lines up with this person being the same as the character ostensibly played by Sink. That doesn’t necessarily mean she’s Jean Grey, but, given she is one of the most powerful telepaths in the entire Marvel Universe, it wouldn’t be a stretch.
This could potentially be positioning Sink’s character, whether it’s Jean or not, as an antagonistic force, but there could be something else at play here. The MCU has increasingly been setting up the Department of Damage Control to shift into an anti-mutant task force. Brand New Day has also cast Tramell Tillman, who is reportedly playing William Metzger, an anti-mutant activist from the comics and quite possibly the person now heading up the organization.
