X-Men: Apocalypse - Sophie Turner on Playing a Younger Jean Grey
Sophie Turner is set to take on a younger version of Jean Grey in Bryan Singer's upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse. Turner will portray Jean in a younger, more vulnerable time in her life.
"The difference between this and Famke [Jannssen's] Jean Grey is she's young and isolated and so insecure and very alienated - even from other mutants - because she's so powerful. So there's a real vulnerability to her and it's great to see how her and Scott [Tye Sheridan] find each other through that alienation.
"She's a great role to play, she's so much fun, and her arc in the movie is amazing." In late 2014, Turner even joked in an interview with EW that she'd like to play a superhero. Turner will next be seen in Game of Thrones season 6, arriving April 24.
X-Men: Apocalypse opens May 27.
