Fans are thrilled at the prospect of Jean Grey’s arrival in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and this image of Sadie Sink has made them even more excited.
The X-Men are coming to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When? Well, that we don’t quite know yet, but we do know the iconic superheroes will soon be making their way to the MCU now that the rights to the characters are finally in Marvel’s possession.
When the time comes for the X-Men to begin making their debuts in the MCU, it seems likely Marvel will turn to some of the group’s most iconic members.
Of course, it’s easy to jump right to someone like Wolverine, who has long been one of the most popular X-Men characters and one the most popular characters from 20th Century Fox’s film franchise. We get it and we definitely can’t imagine the X-Men in the MCU without Wolverine on the team.
But we also want to see Marvel honor the origins of the iconic grouping by showing love to the characters who were part of the original team including one who has been a staple in the 20th Century films: Jean Grey. She’s a character who has rich roots in the X-Men comics and has been played by some truly amazing actresses on the big screen over the years.
So it seems only natural that Marvel keeps the tradition going by casting yet another talented and beloved actress to bring the character to life within the MCU — an actress who is no stranger to global franchises!
What Sadie Sink might look like as Jean Grey in the MCU
One of the favorites among fans to play the role of Jean Grey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is Stranger Things star Sadie Sink, whose star power only continues to grow stronger. Hot off a breakout performance in the fourth season of Stranger Things, fans are eager to know what projects could be coming Sink’s way as Stranger Things heads into its final season.
Should Marvel come calling, digital artist cap.ironwidow has given the studio a compelling argument for why Sink would be perfect for the role of Jean Grey!
In a stunning new piece of concept art, Sink is transformed into Jean Grey in an image that makes a bold statement and showcases how incredible Sink could look in the role if given the chance.
Not only does Sink perfectly match the character’s iconic looks from the comics, but we know she would deliver a masterful performance as the troubled character.
Is Sadie Sink playing Jean Grey in the MCU?
Thus far, Marvel has not yet announced any X-Men castings for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so it’s unclear who might be playing the various X-Men characters when they finally enter the MCU. As such, it’s unclear whether Sadie Sink will be playing Jean Grey or not. What is clear is that Marvel has its eyes on bringing the Stranger Things star into the fold.
According to rumors originating from Giant Freakin Robot, Sink is reported to be joining the MCU in the upcoming Phases. Although the timeline and identity of which character she might be playing were not confirmed in the report, it sounds like she could be entering the mix as a member of the Thunderbolts, not as a member of the X-Men.
So just who might Sink be playing in the MCU? At this time, speculation is growing over whether Sink will be playing Songbird, a villain turned hero with supersonic sound abilities.
