Entertainment Weekly features a new quote from X-MEN: APOCALYPSE actress Sophie Turner, who briefly explained how her version of Jean Grey – a powerful mutant telepath who is one of Professor Xavier’s most-prized students – will differ from Famke Janssen’s portrayal of the character in five previous films.
“The difference between this and Famke’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,” she 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.”
On Jean’s evolution, producer Simon Kinberg told Empire last year, “Jean is complex, interesting and not fully mature. It’s fun to see someone struggling with their powers when you know one day they’ll become the most powerful person in the world.”
Watch the evolution when ‘Apocalypse’ comes to theaters on May 27th!
