Jean Grey Joins Spider-Man’s MCU History: 5 Superheroes He Could Fight in Brand New Day’s Sequel
A pattern of hero clashes
Spider-Man’s MCU fights have not been limited to traditional villains. In Captain America: Civil War, he faced Giant Man, Captain America, Falcon and Winter Soldier. He later fought Doctor Strange in No Way Home and Hulk in Brand New Day. The film also revealed Jean Grey as the mysterious threat Peter had been trying to stop, supporting the possibility of another hero conflict in a future installment.
Mutant and Fantastic Four options
Iceman could bring a connection to Spider-Man from both comics and television. In the comics, the pair fought after Peter was blamed for the death of Gwen Stacy’s father, then cleared up their misunderstanding and joined forces.
A test of Spider-Man’s skills
The Human Torch’s control of fire could challenge Spider-Man to find a way around Johnny Storm’s signature ability. Their fight might end in cooperation rather than a lasting rivalry.
Shang-Chi could test Peter in hand-to-hand combat. The article points to Spider-Man’s struggles against stronger opponents’ fighting skills and says modern comics have him learning martial arts from Shang-Chi, a lesson that could help against a future MCU villain.
Key points
- Spider-Man has fought several MCU heroes, including Doctor Strange and Hulk.
- Iceman and the Human Torch could bring comic-book partnerships to a future film.
- Shang-Chi could challenge Peter’s combat skills and potentially teach him martial arts.
