‘SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY’ producer Amy Pascal says Destin Daniel Cretton is the reason Jean Grey was included into the movie
“We didn’t pick Jean Gray because she was part of the X-Men, we picked Jean Gray because [director] Destin [Daniel Cretton] came in and said, “If you guys want to do a movie that is about the way people feel isolated, even more today than ever, because of our technology and everything else, and not just young people, but everybody. But it has afflicted young people so much. If we can do a movie that is about how reaching out and making a connection to someone is the most important thing that you can do, then I understand how to do this movie.” And he was the one who said, “I really think it would be great if the villain could be a teenager,” instead of all the monsters we’ve done in the past. Because the other truth about Peter Parker is, the best stories are when the villains have the same problem that he does in the anonymity and feeling isolated. It just seemed like the right story to tell for today, because it’s something that we can all relate to.”
