Spider-Man is a Marvel superhero whose real name is Peter Parker, a young man who gained spider-like powers after being bitten by a radioactive spider. Tom Holland has played the character in several recent films, alongside Zendaya as his friend and love interest MJ and Jacob Batalon as his friend Ned.
Jean Grey is a major character from Marvel’s X-Men comics, which focus on people born with unusual abilities known as mutants. She is often portrayed as a powerful telepath and telekinetic, and her stories have frequently involved the wider world of Marvel superheroes.
The new film comes after Spider-Man: No Way Home, in which Peter chose to have everyone forget who he was in order to protect those close to him. That leaves him facing a more isolated life, while the arrival of an X-Men character points to a possible connection between different parts of Marvel’s screen universe.
