Jean Grey<\/strong> actress Sophie Turner<\/strong> recently opened up about writer and director Simon Kinberg’s DARK PHOENIX<\/a><\/strong>, describing what sets it apart from other films in the “superhero movie” genre.<\/p>\n

“This movie is kind of a lot more emotion-based, much more grounded,” she said to Digital Spy<\/a><\/strong>. “There are, of course, those supernatural elements, but this one is really character-driven \u2013 a really emotional story about a girl battling with a deadly mix of mental health problems and being a superhero.<\/p>\n

“So it’s all wrapped up into one, and it’s a movie about struggle and abandonment and not knowing yourself. Yeah, an internal struggling. It’s so, so interesting. It’s such a departure from the last movie.”<\/p>\n

While the Marvel comic books (at one point) established the Phoenix as a “cosmic force” which inhabits Grey, the films have given a biological explanation for her evolving powers. This played a minor role in X-Men: The Last Stand<\/em> where Jean was shown switching from a confident personality, to a lost, scared and vengeful one at the snap of a finger.<\/p>\n

Cast and crew are expected to return to Montreal later this year to complete reshoots on the film.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s just a few bits and bobs, reshoot-wise,” she said regarding additional weeks of filming. “To be honest, I don’t even know what we’re reshooting at the moment. So I couldn’t really tell you much about that one.<\/p>\n

“All I know is that I’ll be back in Montreal at some point soon, and that the Valentine’s Day release date is quite a positive thing, because Black Panther got released on Valentine’s Day. So we’re keeping positive about it.”<\/p>\n

Turner is excited for fans to see the film, saying she put her “heart and soul into the movie.”<\/p>\n

Dark Phoenix<\/em> arrives in theaters February 14, 2019.<\/p>\n
