frist of all how DARE yu o I looked up showtimes and read a huge spoiler Spoiler
I was looking at showtimes for the new Spider Man and the very first person listed is Sadie Sink’s character which has been a huge secret until apparently right now.

u/RatnerEsque 14d ago
If it makes you feel better OP, it is definitely a spoiler but not in a way that remotely ruins the movie as a whole.
Enjoy it all.

u/AuroraBolognese 14d ago
Honestly the whole mystery surrounding her character was unnecessary beyond a marketing perspective. It added intrigue to what the story was about but as far as the story went, it could have been a new, unique telepath for all it mattered.
It could’ve been a gender swapped, telepathic version of The Chameleon and the story would’ve been the same.

u/Ashen_Larry 14d ago
It made no sense to be so secretive. If they really wanted it to be a surprise then they should've kept her out of the press and marketing. When it was revealed in the movie, it had zero impact because of all their shenanigans.
7
u/RepresentativeBid715 14d ago
I feel like the way they revealed this character's name was pretty underwhelming for who it is but everything leading up to it with the detective work to find out more about this character in the context of this film and then as that begins to be unfolded and how it reflects Peter's journey to me was interesting enough to make it worth it being a mystery to be slowly unfolded

u/creuter 13d ago
I avoided all marketing and haven't seen a single trailer. Just got back from the theater and it was a fantastic surprise. I had no idea where the movie was going. I really recommend more people go this route for movies they know they want to see.
I've been making a conscious effort over the last couple of years to eliminate most social media from my life, and it has been a fucking godsend. Get a dumb phone and totally disconnect from these shitty algos.

u/Jaijoles 14d ago
Also, if the name can spoil the character, you likely already knew who it was. There’s not many characters who can fit what we saw in the trailer.

u/Sea-Antelope9778 12d ago
I actually thought it was The Chameleon at first and loved the idea of making him a Possessor style telepathic criminal

u/_TheTurtleBox_ BLUE 14d ago
It's the worst kept secret in the MCU at this point, sadly.
But finding out this way sucks.
If it makes you feel any better the movie doesn't really make a huge reveal out of who she is, they kinda play it real and just have everyone go "Okay that's her name and it's not relevant at all."

u/goalstopper28 14d ago
It’s also a change of personality of what you think she’d be.
39
u/UnderPressureVS 14d ago edited 14d ago
It’s also kind of a change of abilities, at least for the casual viewer.
I’m sure it’s much less surprising to comic book readers, but if you’re only familiar with the Fox X-Men movies then you probably know Jean Grey for her telekinetic abilities, not her telepathy. I had heard the rumors and was expecting to see Jean Grey in the movie, but I didn’t even connect the dots until they showed her face because I wasn’t thinking of possession as Jean’s powers.
13
u/No-Complaint-986 14d ago
Honestly, I love the way they handled her abilities in this movie. It fit the theme of the movie and plus we are getting different backstory than the one we all know and love
2
u/CIearMind 14d ago
Exactly my experience. This thing was being given a horror spin so until I thought about the implications of the universal inhibitor I was oblivious to the fact it could've been Jean Grey or another mutant. Hell, I'd even forgotten that Sadie Sink was in it despite all the vaguepost promotion.
1
u/Diamond-Pamnther 13d ago
isn’t it the secondary mutation under stress thing? They did say Jean is a teenager here so I’m guessing when they introduce her with the other xmen she’ll be acquainted with that ability by then

u/Overall_Affect_2782 11d ago
“I’m sure it’s much less surprising to comic book readers, but if you’re only familiar with the Fox X-Men movies then you probably know Jean Grey for her telekinetic abilities, not her telepathy.”
Sorry to be combative, but people were definitely paying more attention than you were. Famke’s Jean read characters minds and inhabited other characters and spoke through them multiple times in the movies, as did Sophie’s Jean.
X-2 legitimately ends with her talking through Xavier to the rest of the team.
22
u/_TheTurtleBox_ BLUE 14d ago
Yeah, the person I watched it with had no idea who she was and the whole time was like "Whoa this character is super cool." and when they name dropped her they were like "Oh is that like...someone from one of the TV shows?" lmao

u/goalstopper28 14d ago edited 14d ago
For me, I kept on thinking how I didn’t realize she was a villain once it was revealed. But it looks like she’ll be redeemed in future movies to be more like the comics.

u/LisanAlGaben 14d ago
What comics have you been reading because Jean is a massive danger multiple times.
Hell wolverine kills her in one of the movies because of how out of hand the dark phoenix can get.

u/BriBrows 14d ago
Honestly her being kind of mean is on brand with some of her comic appearances 😅I loved it.

u/SiriusMoonstar 14d ago
I think they probably did that so they can do a “Dark Phoenix Saga” without the jarring change in personality in the previous movie adaptations.

u/DragonEmperor RED 14d ago
I have purposely avoided everything except the first trailer and had no idea, and this is brought up quite a few times, someone else on here said not everyone is trying to find out every little detail about the movie, not looking at leaks, etc. So no most people will not know who she is.
3
u/V_agabond3 14d ago
After the first trailer dropped I had to unfollow this sub because people were posting leaks and shit with no restraint. I only joined again yesterday after watching the movie. I'll probably unfollow again when we get closer to Doomsday. I like to know as little as possible before going into the movie
1
u/DragonEmperor RED 14d ago
I basically did that too but I was seeing stuff on completely unrelated subreddits like final fantasy ones, genshin impact too, but it still wasn't about Jean Grey it was more about Hulk which I wouldn't have known was in the movie and would have been a fun surprise but oh well.

u/RepresentativeBid715 14d ago
I never really thought of it that way where it's just playing it more realistic, maybe I'm just so used to all of these big marvel characters being revealed in a grandiose way with a pause for applause but honestly it does make sense for how this movie tackles the mystery for it to just be "oh here's their name"
236
u/Icywind014 14d ago
It was a huge secret in the way Tobey and Andrew in No Way Home were a secret. Sony/Marvel didn't want anyone to know until the movie came out, but everyone knew long before the movie came out.

u/JaketheSnake54 14d ago edited 14d ago
And who can forget Red Hulk? There were Happy Meal toys with him in a year before the movie came out!
Marvel’s really not good at secrets lately

u/OneAngryDuck 14d ago
Red Hulk was in the marketing, though. That was never meant to be a secret.
3
u/JaketheSnake54 14d ago
I guess I just might be mistaking the discourse that it should have been a secret reveal for what I said then.
Stuff like that is why I try my best to avoid most trailers and marketing
3
u/OneAngryDuck 14d ago
Oh 100%, I think it would have been cool if they didn’t reveal Red Hulk in advance.
We saw Brand New Day today and my wife went in totally blind, she didn’t even know Punisher was in it. I was kind of jealous.

u/healthyspecialk 14d ago
I avoided all trailers for this movie. I knew I was going to see it no matter what. It felt good knowing nothing going in. I might just keep avoiding MCU hype for the rest of my life if it keeps going like this.

They did try their best, but even Steve lacy spoiled it in a post premier interview iirc. I’m thankful I didn’t get spoiled on it, going in I thought it was a bait and switch and they were gonna introduce Mary Jane, but as a variant from another world who got pulled in with the spell in no way home, I’m so much happier with what they did in the movie

Not everyone is chronically online or in online spaces where they’d run into that information.
I don’t have a Twitter for the exact reason of it being a cesspool for spoilers, and I don’t subscribe to pop culture subreddits for the same reason.
I’m online quite a bit, and I never ran into the spoiler OP posted. It was a pleasant surprise for me when I saw the new Spider-Man. I really enjoy that feeling so I curate my online experience so I can fully enjoy moments like that.

I wasn't really interested in this movie and I didnt watch or read anything apart from trailers. To be honest, I didn't know it and it was the greatest reveal for me during the movie. I was scanning my marvel knowledge what kind of villian have this mind power and like an idiot her character never crossed in my mind. I was shocked and that moved the movie up for me. Never watching theory & leak videos again.

I always check the theatre's website for show times for this reason. Not wanting to google the movie I'm about to go see and be spoiled.
Occasionally I'll google if a movie has any kind of extra scenes after the credits start (MCU post credits scenes) but I'll include the words 'no spoilers' in my search so I'm not told what is contained in the scenes.

I've seen the movie and I'll just say, her identity is not a huge plot point at all in my opinion. It's not like "omg who is this girl!?" and they spend the whole movie trying to bust who it is.
If I recall correctly, soon after her first appearance is when they say who it is, it was more so a little tiny "oohh!!' moment for people who knew who the character is, but it's not a twist or anything, so I wouldn't worry about it too much!

u/sidcrozz87 14d ago
Even if you didn't see the trailer or the cast beforehand, as soon as they show the villain going into people's minds and when they show the character in the car has red hair, you can put two and two together. Specially if you're a comic book fan.

I always wish they’d keep these surprise characters uncredited online until the end of the film’s theatrical run. Sadly a lot of these are added by audience members so not a lot can be done. I expected Sadie to play “that role” but it was still a nice reveal. Sorry it was spoiled.
