Spinoff Online recently caught up with Sophie Turner who was promoting her new movie “Barely Lethal.” They talked to her a little bit about taking on the role of Jean Grey in “X-Men: Apocalypse” and she revealed what she’s been doing to prepare for the role.
“I’ve done a bit of research, yeah. I mean, every “X Men” movie that’s ever been released, yeah and, like TV “X Men” stuff, I’ve seen it all, yeah.” Sophie said.
She seems quite excited about playing the character and making it her own. She mentions that the script got her excited and also praised Famke Janssen’s take on Jean Grey.
“Creatively, I mean, just like feasting my eyes upon that script was insane. And I mean, 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!”
