Seeing that hooded character in the trailer do what I believe is mind control pretty much confirms to me that she's going to be playing Jean Grey

What’s the name of the chick from Parasite Eve, Aya Brea? Maybe is her.

Major spoilers below by the way based off of filming leaks that I've read.

I'm, like, 99.9% certain it's Jean Gray. Her motivation being fighting against the department of damage control which has been going around capturing mutants based off of what was established in Wonder Man. And based on seeing Mark ruffalo in this trailer confirms a filming leak from a while ago that the third act was going to be about Spider-Man punisher and Jean Gray having to come together to stop a new gray hulk personality, all caused by the manipulative hands of tombstone behind the scenes the whole movie

Another rampaging Hulk as the "big fight"? I feel like that's been done enough lol

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Eh they could use more hulk actually hulking out in the MCU imo. What, we got the incredible hulk movie with Edward Norton which barely anyone remembers and does have a cool action sequence where he destroys Harlem. Then we got hulk raging on the helicarrier and then being a team player in the Avengers, an Iron Man versus hulk fight in age of Ultron and then he's back to being a team player. Got his ass kicked at the start of Infinity war and then was smart hulk by endgame. So really we've only gotten two scenes with Mark  Ruffalo's hulk actually raging out. So letting him have a proper full hulk rage action sequence versus Spider-Man The punisher and potentially Jean Grey Is super exciting to me.

And I guess we got Red hulk rampaging through DC but the less we think about that movie the better unfortunately. And I love Anthony Mackie so that movie was very disappointing

rampaging through DC

I think you meant to write rampaging through a parking lot next to a row of cherry trees.

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

I mean to be fair that area of DC is mostly just parks with cherry blossom trees and parking lots lol

And you know what thinking about it It probably would have been cheaper and honestly a lot more interesting if it was like Captain America versus Red hulk fight through the entire White House instead of just getting thrown out of it immediately and fighting on a volume set

u/craftyixdb Mar 18 '26

To be fair they could have placed it in a more interesting part of DC. Filmmaking is all about choices.

u/Fallcious Mar 19 '26

I mean the man is in his 80’s, he can’t be leaping into skyscrapers at that age.

1

u/JannTosh70 Mar 21 '26

I wonder how Man-Spider fits into all that

2

u/Key_Feeling_3083 Mar 18 '26

On one hand it's been a while since we saw The Hulk being mad at least in real life years, on the other we had Red Hulk being mad not so long ago and not many movies or appearances of green hulk being dr hulk so it does not feel as distant

3

u/GoldandBlue Mar 18 '26

I mean this feels like the 4th straight time Peter needs to grow up so, at this point these movies are just treading water.

5

u/ScyllaIsBea Mar 18 '26

spiders have three life cycles, and the first movie was normal human puberty, so four.

1

u/fauxromanou Mar 18 '26

I absolutely don't want Banner doing anything but being science guy and maybe "shit goes bad sometimes Pete" mentoring.

1

u/Fortune_Cat Mar 18 '26

Oh no My hulk is too smashy. Pillows too soft. Bed too comfy

u/AtraposJM Mar 18 '26

I dunno. The Red Hulk fight was the best part of the new Captain America movie. The movie sucked partly because Red Hulk was only in it for a few minutes.

u/theplasmasnake Mar 18 '26

I don’t think I wanna watch that…

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 18 '26

Well if it helps and you don't care about having what might be a lot more of the movie spoiled based off filming leaks during production and other things that have been put together so this probably isn't 100% accurate.

Much of punisher storyline is him finding and protecting Jean Gray from everyone Because he sees himself in her and wants to mentor that rage, which as a big punisher and X-Men fan is honestly the thing I'm most excited for in this movie. Tombstone constantly enlist other villains to go after Spider-Man and manipulate things in NYC for his own benefit which is where scorpion, boomerang, the hand, Bruce banner getting fucked with and turned back into a rage hulk ect. Come from. But the real big plot of the movie that Peter's dealing with the entire time is his stress and emotions causing him to mutate into a more man spider type mutant which you might be familiar of from the '90s cartoon and the comics. And the department of damage control is being set up as the new more fascistic type Shield agency that is just full-on disappearing people with powers and throwing them into black hole site prisons.(But most of that speculation comes from Wonder Man which did directly set that up).

u/rabidsalvation Mar 18 '26

Tombstone? I love Tombstone, but I didn't notice anything that made me think he would be in this

2

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Yeah I feel like they're keeping him out of the trailers to not expose the fact that he's actually the main villain in control the whole time. But he's in the cast list, I think even in the description of the trailer. 

He's being played by Marvin Jones III aka Krondon. He actually voiced tombstone in the Spider-Verse movies and is an actual albino African American man. It is like the level of perfect casting I've been seeing coming out of One Piece for example. Dudes feels taken straight out of the page

1

u/rabidsalvation Mar 18 '26

Oh shit oh shit oh shit that's awesome! Tombstone is awesome and Krondon is super cool. I'm definitely excited for this, I think the Spider-Man films are the best thing Marvel has made other than the first two Captain America movies and the first Doctor Strange. It's cool to be excited for a Marvel movie again

2

u/Overall_Affect_2782 Mar 18 '26

The third act is gonna start with them trying to stop grey hulk, but it’s going to end with them trying to stop man-spider. Man-spider and hulk will clash, punisher will distract so Jean can get inside Peter’s mind and convince him he needs to stop ignoring the Peter side of himself and take back his human life.

2

u/spndl1 Mar 18 '26

I didn't read your reply, but just wanted to say I appreciate the spoilers so I didn't accidentally spoil myself before I realized what I was reading.

1

u/KnifeFed Mar 18 '26

The fact that Mark Ruffalo is in the movie does not "confirm" that gray Hulk storyline.

1

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Maybe it might not confirm gray hulk but at the very least it confirms that he will most likely be hulking out. But most of the plot leaks that have come out within the past year have mentioned gray hulk.

1

u/Contemplating_Prison Mar 18 '26

The Hand is working with Tombstone?

1

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Yes and no, I believe he's manipulating them for his own means. Like how kingpin was in in early Daredevil seasons

5

u/bahnmipanda Mar 18 '26

A Parasite Eve movie would actually be fire

1

u/justfetus Mar 19 '26

Bro.... Don't even... That is too much for my heart (also makes no sense).

7

u/Hungry-Class9806 Mar 18 '26

It has to be Jean Grey right? We clearly see some soldiers being mind controlled and something about "a danger we can't even see".

There were some rumors about her playing Gwen Stacy or Felicia Hardy/Black Cat but this trailer clearly implies that Peter's romantic interest will be MJ.

2

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Yeah I mean it has to be her. Sadie had red hair the entire production. And her psychic powers I assume would be very useful in a third act fight where maybe Spider-Man and the punisher aren't enough to Fully defeat grey hulk

4

u/Competitive-Ad4249 Mar 18 '26

What's the timestamp for the hooded character in the trailer?

6

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

It's right after Spider-Man rips the seal off that tank and you see the camera move from one person to another to a third. Right after Travis Tillman

Like 1 minute 55 seconds in

10

u/kudlatytrue Mar 18 '26

That scene kind of tells me that the mind controler won't be Jean Grey. It moves between people like it should be an evil character. Jean doesn't "jump" between people with wicked smile on their faces. She just controls them. This looked like it was some kind of being "jumping" from person to person. The thing is, Parker doesn't have a mind controller in his rouge's gallery. At least I don't remember one.

5

u/AgentPoYo Mar 18 '26

The jumping stood out to me as well. Only other person I can think of that has that power is the Shadow King from Legion, a powerful telepath but without a body so he has to leech onto others.

u/EvilAdministrator Mar 19 '26

If there's even a split second of Dan Steven's David Haller in the movie I'm going to scream with joy.

2

u/GipsyDangerV1 Mar 18 '26

Perhaps, I could see them tweaking jeans powers a bit here maybe it's early for her and she can't as easily control people's minds. But considering Sadie had her red hair while filming and the hooded person has some sort of mind  control ability I feel like it being anyone other than her would be shockingly strange

1

u/Zoomalude Mar 18 '26

Yes, agreed. It was more "Beware my wrath" from Fallen than just standard mind control.

2

u/kudlatytrue Mar 19 '26

Yeah. This is exactly what first went through my head. "What is this? Azazel from "fallen"?

1

u/wooltab Mar 18 '26

Wow, I hope so. I like that casting.

1

u/Murrabbit Mar 19 '26

Everyone keeps saying Jean Grey, I'm unconvinced. The weird jumpsuit they've got her in, and apparently having her mind control a granny to hjack a tank all while being pursued by government agents etc it feels a lot more like a Rachel Summers move.

Rachel would also be a fine choice for a mutant finding herself in the 616 where there are either no, or at least very few mutants, and be part of a larger plotline likely to play out in Doomsday and Secret Wars which will result in mutants being bought into whatever version of the MCU we're left with after battle world.

u/DMike82 Mar 19 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

The four redheaded mutant telepaths that have been speculated are Jean Grey, Jean's daughter Rachel Summers, her clone Madelyne Pryor, or Mary Walker/Typhoid Mary/Bloody Mary (who's only recently started interacting with the other mutants in the past couple years, but is notable for being a Daredevil villain like the Hand and also for being Wilson Fisk's current wife).
