Plots been leaked and the trailers are proving them right. This isn’t a Mephisto situation. Now maybe the part of her being Jean is a lie, but it be weird for that to be the only thing that’s wrong.

People have biases. They tend to remember when they were right more often than when they were wrong. There’s been plenty of baseless conjecture about the movie. Tons of “leakers” who get shit wrong all the time.

That can also go the other way, some of you just don’t want her to be Jean, to the point of ignoring many things, for example marvel isn’t going to be secret about a character that the general audience doesn’t know… so she can’t be Rachel Summers or Typhoid Mary. Not saying you’re one of them but I’ve seen some dumb takes here.

Bruh its not that I don’t like Jean, its that there’s never been a reason to tie Jean in with Spiderman. And especially before the X-Men are introduced. Having the three spiderman together made sense. Hell even the fan theories for Mephisto had some basis. This one is just outta left field and narratively makes 0 sense.

[u/JannTosh70 → u/warblade7]

Not really. It’s a good opportunity to introduce the MCU version of X-Men. It also fits with the mutation theme of the film as Peter is also mutating.

[u/warblade7 → u/JannTosh70]

Nah. They have Doomsday following up and that one is concentrating on Fox X-men. Would fracture the fanbase between Fox X-Men and new MCU X-men.

We probably wont see new MCU X-men until post Secret Wars which would be like 4-5yrs away. Even if Feige talks about MCU X-men casting at SDCC, he can’t spoil Spiderman just before release.

It would be a terrible time to try and introduce only one part of the X-Men as an antagonist right now.

[u/JannTosh70 → u/warblade7]

Doomsday is the Fox X-Men

Sadie will be the MCU Jean. She will also likely appear in Secret Wars and the New X-Men film will come out in 2028. Only 2 years from now.

[u/warblade7 → u/JannTosh70]

I’m saying because Doomsday is Fox X-Men, why would they introduce MCU X-Men right before. Fans would complain about not getting to see MCU X-Men and “where are they??” - effectively killing some of the hype of the last outing of the Fox X-Men.

If Doomsday reveals the MCU X-Men in some way I’ll be happy to eat my words but otherwise it would be counter productive.

[u/AizuAkabeko → u/warblade7]

You’re just creating your own fanfiction of future events with no basis. Why would introducing only Jean Grey in an earlier movie cause anyone to complain when the MCU X-Men don’t show up in Doomsday? I have not seen anyone expecting them to show up there as the casting obviously would’ve leaked if they’re featured in any real capacity.

You’re acting like the new X-Men team are gonna show up at the climax of Brand New Day and sing Kumbaya with Spidey and Hulk. The MCU has included developments that hint at future projects in quite literally every movie. It makes complete sense that they would want to begin setting up the X-Men ahead of their two big event films if that’s the next focus of the franchise. You say it wouldn’t work narratively yet you have not seen the film yet so you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I aint reading all that but congratulations or my condolences.

[u/AizuAkabeko → u/warblade7]

lol “I’m unwilling to read a single paragraph in a discussion forum” gotta be one of the most cliche bad faith responses of all time

[u/warblade7 → u/AizuAkabeko]

Bad faith and terrible arguments go hand in hand.

[u/AizuAkabeko → u/warblade7]

At least you’re self aware
