Sophie Turner Talks About Doing Research For Her X-Men: Apocalypse Role

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is out to promote her new film Barely Lethal, and she took a moment to answer some questions about her upcoming role as Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse.

"Creatively, I mean, just like feasting my eyes upon that script was insane," Turner told Spinoff Online when asked what got her creatively excited for her X-Men role. "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!"

"I've done a bit of research, yeah," Turner admitted. "I mean, every "X Men" movie that's ever been released, yeah and, like TV "X Men" stuff, I've seen it all, yeah."

X-Men: Apocalypse is set to release in theaters on May 27 2016.
