Variety(@Variety):Sadie Sink says she "knew nothing" about Jean Grey before Marvel called her about the role: "People had started rumors about me playing that character — for like years, it had kind of been circulating online — so that was all I knew about her. But I had never seen 'X-Men,' so I was just unfamiliar. Then Kevin [Feige] and Louis [D'Esposito] from Marvel called me, set up a meeting and told me about the character and her role in 'Spider-Man.' Then I did more research on her, and I was like, 'Oh yeah, this is a no-brainer!' She's such an iconic figure in X-Men and in comics, and I'm very excited to bring my iteration of her to life."
