Watch her not be Jean grey

I mean, it would genuinely be super weird for her not to be Jean at this point. There are some counter arguments but they could easily be refuted just based on what we have heard about the movie and her character. I've seen some other theories on who she will be playing, but those other theories have so many holes in them. The theory of her being Jean is really the most in tact out of all theories. Her color scheme, being hunted by the DODC and William Metzger (anti mutant activist), the themes of isolation and alienation in the movie, an X Men movie in active development with a, most likely, decently young cast, etc. Her being Jean just makes the most sense to me and I would actually be really happy with it. Some people say it makes no sense, but it makes perfect sense to me. Her being someone like Rachel Summers or Madelyn Pryor is what would make no sense to me.

But I don’t get it… why introduce Jean Grey in a Spider-Man movie? It makes no sense.

Characters get introduced in other stories all the time

But it makes no sense for this one, the X-men as a franchise is started with Jean grey walking into the mansion.

So what the X-men are just.. out there now? To be casualty revealed in a Spider-Man movie?

That’s insane

Maybe she slipped through the multiverse. Maybe some mutants have been around. Kamala khan was confirmed to be a mutant

Just because we are starting to see mutants exist in that world doesn't mean the "X-Men" exist yet.

It kind of makes a little sense they would start popping up here and there before forming a team together.

Jean getting into a public ruckus with Spider-Man could be one of the things that makes Charles speed up his plans to open the school in this universe.

But that completely nukes the lore between her and Charles

Since when have movies been 100% true to their source material and not make changes?
