SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY Leak Teases Sadie Sink as Jean Grey Alongside the Punisher
A new leak tied to Spider-Man: Brand New Day has fans doing double takes, as it may offer the first glimpse of Sadie Sink stepping into the role of Jean Grey. The image also features Jon Bernthal’s Punisher right beside her.
This project has already had its fair share of leaks. A trailer surfaced online months ahead of schedule, along with promo art and an image of Tombstone gripping Spider-Man by the throat.
As for this new image, multiple sources and trusted social media insiders insist it’s legitimate. According to The Cosmic Circus insider Alex Perez, he’s seen an earlier version of this exact shot. That sighting led him to initially believe Sink might be playing Typhoid Mary instead. With this new context, the assumption has shifted.
What’s catching attention is Sink’s costume. The green and yellow look strongly resembles Jean Grey’s classic Marvel Girl outfit. That said, it seems unlikely she’ll fully suit up as Jean Grey until Marvel Studios rolls out its planned X-Men reboot in 2028.
It’s really interesting that Marvel is introducing Jean Grey in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and I’m curious to see how her story arc plays out and how it will set up what’s coming in the future.
So how do we know if this image is the real deal? The answer might come down to Sony Pictures’ reaction. If takedowns start hitting social media, that’s usually a strong sign. On the flip side, there’s always the possibility the studio is letting it circulate on purpose. Keeping the film in the spotlight without spending a dime on marketing isn’t exactly a bad strategy.
Leaks like this have become more common lately. There were even those “AI” images tied to Avengers: Doomsday floating around, featuring Doctor Doom and Steve Rogers, which later turned out to be legit after CinemaCon revealed Doom’s updated suit.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up after the massive fallout of Spider-Man: No Way Home. Four years have passed, and Peter Parker is now completely on his own. With the world having forgotten him, he’s dedicated himself entirely to being Spider-Man. But that commitment comes at a cost.
As the pressure builds, Peter begins to experience a mysterious physical change that could threaten everything. At the same time, a surge in crime introduces a dangerous new enemy into the mix.
The film brings back Tom Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and adds Bernthal, Sink, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo to the lineup.
It’s directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, with a script from Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Producing duties fall to Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Rachel O’Connor.
Whether this leaked image is real or not, it’s doing exactly what leaks tend to do, getting fans talking and speculating about where the story is headed next.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day hits theaters on July 31, 2026.
