While promoting the release of her latest movie Barely Lethal, over on Spinoff Online (via X-Men Films), Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner briefly touched on playing 'Jean Grey' in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Apocalypse. Set to step into a role inhabited by Famke Janssen for almost fifteen years, Turner expressed her sheer ecstasy at giving her own take on such a recognizable figure:
"Feasting my eyes upon that script was insane! I just think the fact that it’s such an iconic character and so well loved in the comics and stuff that it’s very exciting to be able to take it on. Famke Janssen’s portrayed Jean so well, so beautifully, and it’s nice to kind of – although I’m “young her,” it’s nice to have my own take on it as well and interpret this character, this action superhero the way that I kind of want to. Oh, my God. It’s so exciting!"
She also claimed she had been preparing for the role by watching "every X-Men movie that’s ever been released", as well as checking out the "TV X-Men stuff" too. Are you as excited as she is to see a new and younger version of Jean in X-Men: Apocalypse? The movie will hit cinemas May 27, 2016. Sign off with your thoughts in the comments below!
