The presence of the star—who rose to fame via the series Stranger Things—was kept under wraps until the film's midpoint, at which point she becomes the primary driver of the conflict in Brand New Day.
Portraying a mutant capable of controlling and hacking minds remotely, Jean Grey wreaks havoc on New York City in an attempt to breach a secret Department of Damage Control storage facility.
The situation escalates when she takes control of Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), triggering a Hulk rampage that forces Spider-Man (Tom Holland) to team up with the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) to prevent further devastation.
Sink’s role also exposes the dark side of Damage Control, revealing it as a major antagonistic organization that could pose an anti-mutant threat in the MCU's future.
Jean Grey’s motive for the attack is revealed to stem from past trauma: her older sister, Sara, was abducted and killed during one of the department's experiments.
After being briefly captured by Damage Control CEO Bill Metzger (Tramell Tillman), Jean Grey unleashes a massive wave of psychic energy that freezes nearly the entire population of New York.
