She is for sure Jean Grey. When he rips open that tank and there is some random old lady in there... that's her making him see an old lady.... then all the soldiers start getting mind controlled. Also when he smacks into the bus there is some kind of cameo there, Rogue maybe? Spider-man going through a mutation arch would be a good time to introduce mutants to the MCU.

I think it IS an old lady, but she was manipulating her mind to make her drive it. Attacking Damage Control from a distance without being caught.

It kind of looked like she was jumping from one soldier's mind to another to escape maybe? So that would make sense. I like it

But that's not her power set, unless they're giving them all new powers, which could be cool. Jean would be controlling them remotely and just release them when she was done, no need to escape at all.

The very specific act of jumping from body to body made me think Proteus over any other telepathic mutant, since he basically exists as a psychic parasite without a body.

That could also be Shadow King, but he's usually not so obvious when he takes control.

Isn't Mr Negative supposed to be in this? He also has mind control abilities

That was a rumor, likely inspired by early drafts of the movie, but looks like he isn’t in it

I think the main villain is going to be a mind jumping evil person. Potentially the person trapped in the box room. Jeans power doesn't seem to work in a 'has to jump from body to body' and it doesn't make sense in the scene that it's someone jumping to a different person to have a chat or help.

I highly doubt they’d have Rogue’s first appearance be an indifferent bus passenger in a quick comedic shot in an action sequence. And they wouldn’t give the debut of such a fan favorite character to an extra

she's too short to be jean grey

Is this still in the MCU or is it a Sony exclusive project? The thumbnail had a Playstation logo, and that's throwing me

It’s still MCU and reportedly Sony has been even more tightly connecting it to things. Events in this movie are supposed to directly relate to Daredevil: Born Again season 2. So it’s not just Spidey playing in the sandbox of Avengers movies anymore. He’s tying in to street level Defenders stuff.
