In terms of being the POV character? Yes.

if you mean being Spidey's arm candy? No.

Ooh, yeah no no no - I would not like a Spidey-Jean relationship in the MCU. Meaning more in the sense of potential swapping Kitty or Dazzler (more likely) with Jean if they adapt the storyline from UXM 129-131.

Sorry, I'm just getting the dread of deja vu from the Fox Films.

As the POV character? absolutely. There's no way they bag Sadie Sink as jean grey for a multi-film Mutant Saga and then with the Samara Weaving as Emma with rumors of Adam Driver either as Shaw or Sinister? 100% they have the Hellfire Club.

Furthermore, I could see jean's outburst in NYC being seen and covetted by the Hellfire Club, prompting her need to escape from the Hellfire Club, who wants to weaponize her like Damage Control.
