Spider-Man: Brand New Day's Most Talked About Character Quietly Sets Up Marvel's X-Men Future
After years of anticipation, the MCU has introduced its first X-Man into the primary timeline. Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues the story of Peter Parker (Tom Holland) after Doctor Strange erases his secret identity from the world’s memory. Yet the movie also doubles as an origin story for Jean Grey (Sadie Sink), presenting us with a version of her that’s unlike anything audiences have seen or read before.
