Tom Holland’s fourth film as the webslinger sees him up against a mysterious new figure, played by Sink, whose name has yet to be revealed. However, one artist connected with the movie seems to have offered up a spoiler.
In an interview with singer Lacy, whose song ‘Oh Yeah?’ features in the film, was interviewed during an official livestream of the premiere, and was asked by the interviewer: “Out of all of the characters in the film you’re aware of and, without spoiling anything, who is your favourite?

Lacy replied: “You know what? Jean. I like Jean. She’s the villain but there’s a reason to her madness.” Taken aback, the interviewer responded “Is that a spoiler?”
“Jean” is a reference to Jean Grey, a significant character in the X-Men franchise. The mutant characters were not previously part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe due to the movie rights being owned by 20th Century Fox, but after Marvel’s parent company Disney bought Fox in 2019, these characters and others (such as The Fantastic Four) came under their ownership.

It’s been expected that a new version of the X-Men would be introduced to the MCU at some point, and many fans had speculated that Sink’s unnamed character was Jean Grey. Lacy’s interview appeared to confirm the rumour, leaving many fans on X (formerly Twitter) perplexed.
“Imagine them trying to keep this secret all during the marketing to have to spoiled by a person on the red carpet” wrote one person, with another adding: “ain’t no way steve lacy just spoiled the whole movie and caused the live to end”
Spoiler-free reactions came from critics who had seen the film earlier this week, calling it “awe-inspiring” and the best of Holland’s Spider-Man movies.
