We\u2019ll no doubt be seeing her in the MCU\u2019s planned \u201cX-Men\u201d movie, though no details on its cast or release have been announced.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSink\u2019s identity is shrouded in mystery as \u201cBrand New Day\u201d begins, and her face isn\u2019t revealed until roughly halfway through the film. Tom Holland\u2019s Spider-Man begins investigating a new villain on the loose in New York City who has the power to possess bystanders\u2019 bodies (as long as they\u2019re less than 33 feet away). She uses her abilities to \u201cjump\u201d between between people\u2019s minds and attempt to break into the headquarters for the Department of Damage Control. The organization, which is responsible for cleaning up the messes after superhero battles, has something that Jean wants locked inside a vault.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAfter a failed break-in attempt using a possessed Scorpion (Michael Mando), Sink turns to a stronger, larger and greener wrecking ball to get inside of Damage Control: the Hulk. She takes control of Mark Ruffalo\u2019s Bruce Banner and removes the inhibitor device that prevents him from turning into the Hulk. Spider-Man teams up with Jon Bernthal\u2019s Punisher to take down the green giant and stop the him from destroying the Damage Control skyscraper entirely. Jean manages to break into the secret vault, but she\u2019s tranquilized and apprehended by Tramell Tillman\u2019s Damage Control CEO Bill Metzger.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIt\u2019s here that Damage Control is revealed as the real villainous organization in the movie. Metzger and his team hold Jean hostage and run tests on her to understand how her psychic powers work. A flashback reveals that Jean had an older sister named Sara who could also possess people\u2019s minds. One day in the park, Sara gets abducted by Damage Control officers, and she possesses Jean\u2019s mind to run away and save her younger sister. When Jean is imprisoned, she realizes she\u2019s locked in the same cell that was used to hold Sara, who had died while being tested on by Damage Control. Jean overpowers their restraints and creates a gigantic psychic bubble that freezes in place nearly everyone in New York City.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5243\">\u2018Spider-Man: Brand New Day\u2019 Credits Scene Explained: Will Tom Holland Return in \u2018Avengers: Doomsday\u2019 or \u2018Secret Wars\u2019?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tSpider-Man is the only person who can overcome Jean\u2019s psychic powers, and he\u2019s able to reason with her to drop her vendetta against Damage Control. While Jean probes Spidey\u2019s mind and lives through a tender memory he has of his late Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), Punisher is miles away lining up a sniper rifle to take out the mutant threat. As he fires the bullet, Spider-Man pushes Jean out of the way at the last second, but is hit by the gunshot himself. A devastated Punisher rescues Spider-Man and brings him to a hospital, where he eventually recovers; Jean had been using her powers to keep the hero alive, but she leaves before Spidey can say goodbye.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the final moments of the movie, Jean is seen riding a bus out of the city. Could she be heading upstate to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters? The famous mutant school is located in Westchester, and the fall foliage suggests school may be in session soon. There aren\u2019t any references to the X-Men or other mutants in \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d but it seems clear that this isn\u2019t the last we\u2019ll see of Sink. It also seems like Damage Control may be morphed into a more evil corporation that\u2019s anti-mutant in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe \u201cStranger Things\u201d breakout star is the third actor to take on the famous telekinetic mutant in live-action. In Fox\u2019s previous \u201cX-Men\u201d movies, Jean had been played by Famke Janssen in the original film trilogy Then in the prequel series, \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d star Sophie Turner had taken on a younger version of the mutant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNow, it seems that Sink will be part of the next generation of X-Men in the MCU. We\u2019ve seen several \u201cX-Men\u201d actors reprise their Fox roles, like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Patrick Stewart as Prof. Charles Xavier and Kelsey Grammer as Beast. In \u201cDoomsday,\u201d Stewart and Grammer will be joined by James Marsden as Cyclops, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler and Channing Tatum as Gambit. After living in their own X-universe, the stars will be thrust into the MCU, joining forces with the Avengers and Fantastic Four to take on Robert Downey Jr.\u2019s Doctor Doom. With Sink\u2019s casting, it seems like the MCU is prepping a new, younger cast of X-Men to join their sprawling universe of heroes.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationobserver.com\/?p=5242\">Ariana Grande\u2019s \u2018Petal\u2019 Introduces an Angry and Angular Ari: Album Review<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadie Sink is playing Jean Gray of the X-Men in &#8216;Spider-Man: Brand New Day.&#8217; Here&#8217;s how it could set up an &#8216;X-Men&#8217; reboot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4150,472,1566],"class_list":["post-5247","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-film","tag-sadie-sink","tag-spider-man-brand-new-day","tag-x-men"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u2018Spider-Man: Brand New Day\u2019: Sadie Sink Is [SPOILER].
