Spider-Man: Brand New Day Writers Insist That, 'Technically,' Jean Grey Didn't Kill Anyone — or So We Should Believe
Spider-Man: Brand New Day's screenwriters have stated that Jean Grey did not actually kill anyone during the movie — "technically", at least.
Writers of the film Spider-Man: Brand New Day have clarified that Jean Grey technically did not kill anyone, despite fans' concerns about her violent actions in New York City. During the movie, Jean Grey was portrayed as a redeemed character, searching for her sister, Sadie Sink, and causing significant destruction throughout the city.
Screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers insist that Jean Grey was not responsible for any deaths. They explained that her character needed to be threatening to feel formidable and believable as a villain for the audience to buy her transformation. While some fans questioned the dark and unnecessary scenes of violence, such as a man stepping into oncoming traffic, the screenwriters argued that Jean Grey's actions were necessary to create a sense of danger and make the Department of Damage Control's response seem justified.
McKenna added that the mystery surrounding Jean Grey's character throughout the film added to the excitement for the audience. With an X-Men movie reboot in the works and a potential role in Avengers: Secret Wars, fans may have more opportunities to see Jean Grey's character evolve in the future.
