Sadie Sink, star of Stranger Things, is officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Jean Grey — the first time the iconic X-Men character appears in the MCU, debuting in Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Director Destin Daniel Cretton kept the reveal under wraps to preserve the film’s surprise, and Sink confirmed she wasn’t playing Spider-Man or Aunt May — though she did steal the show, especially in the third act. Jean’s story in the film centers on her sister’s tragic death due to secret government experiments, setting her on a powerful new path and priming her for the upcoming X-Men movie. That film, directed by Jake Schreier and penned by Lee Sung Jin and Joanna Calo, promises to deliver the intense personal drama and ideological stakes that define the X-Men comics. Sink landed the role without auditioning — she was offered it outright — and praised her comfort working with Cretton and Tom Holland, who raved about her performance.
