Jean Grey took a well-deserved break from the X-Men movies after that whole "perishing utterly" thing in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. But the franchise's recent time-altering hijinks have given her a proper return, and a younger self portrayed by Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner. Turner told Entertainment Weekly that her take on the young psychic in X-Men: Apocalypse will differ quite a bit from the confident Jean Grey we've seen on the silver screen so far.
“The difference between this and Famke [Janssen's] Jean Grey is she’s young and isolated and so insecure and very alienated - even from the other mutants - because she’s so powerful," Turner said. "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”.
