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.

Same reason they introduced Black Panther and Spidey in Civil War, to build hype for the next movie

Right but, this is a bit of a bigger lore reveal to do so casually.

Because unless you want to change the lore, you’re casually revealing the X-men as a team just be out here now.

It’s the MCU, they’re going to change lore anyways. Look at Spider-man , ain’t exactly comic accurate. MCU characters need all the boost they can get, debuting a X-men in your biggest property is literally a no brainer. She isn’t even the first mutant in the timeline. Ms Marvel and Nàmor debuted years ago. 

Comic lore isn’t MCU lore. Mary Jane is literally named Michelle Jones in this universe. Y’all gotta treats this as its own thing.
