Saide Sink's Jean Grey is now rumoured to appear in the post credit scene for ‘AVENGERS: ENDGAME ENCORE’
Sadie will reportedly be included in the scene with Mark Ruffalo's Hulk as he confronts Robert Downey Jr's Doctor Doom
@WeaponizedFunk No, Jean wasn't added in halfway through production. She was originally considered as an antagonist along with other villains, and they landed on her upon the Director's request and the co-producer's suggestion that Sadie could act the role. They centered on that plot earlier
@HollywoodHandle With Jean it makes for a more personal story of conflicted individuals and relates to Peter's arc as well. Narratively it adds depth and can't do that with traditional actual villains. I think the twist is partly what makes the story fascinating
@DiscussingFilm Loved that Jean Grey was the ultimate choice, as then the motive wouldn't be the same as a traditional archetype villain. I thought the twist was brought out beautifully. It's peak
